Another sweet girl born right before Christmas!  Sweet Paige gave me a run for my money – she was awake for quite a bit of her session, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at these precious portraits!

I was lucky to capture a few newborn girls right before the Christmas holiday.  It was fun to try out some of my favorite holiday props with them – and with Elizabeth and her big sister, I just adore this sleigh portrait!  I would love to see this first one in a big canvas!

I had three of my 2012 Milestones Babies in the studio recently and they were all so darn cute!  This is notoriously one of the hardest ages to photograph since 3-4 month olds don’t sit up on their own yet and sometimes don’t even like to be on their bellies.  They also smile all.the.time for […]

I was contacted by this little guy’s grandmother just a few weeks before his arrival.  My family travels out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday, and I was not sure that I would be able to return to Virginia Beach in time to capture his birth, but told her I would be on standby for […]

I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable little girl as a newborn and she’s grown so much since I last saw her.  Her hair is just amazing, too!  Enjoy a peek at sweet Charlee!

Our mini-sessions with Santa and Mrs. Claus were a huge success!  All the kids looked so adorable and most of them were really excited to see the big man himself.  Even those little ones who were a big frightened by the red suit were captured with those pretty twinkle lights to commemorate the holiday season.

Today, I had the privilege of being there to welcome a new life in the world.  This mommy & daddy are both so brave – he is in the Marines serving our country and has most recently been, literally, on the front lines in Afghanistan.  She has been bravely waiting for his return so that […]
