My dear friend asked me to capture her expanding family and I couldn’t be happier to do so.  I am super excited to also be there to photograph her birth this fall – her second VBAC! Her idea for putting the family’s handprints on her belly was so cute – her son chose all the […]

This little 5lb ball of sweetness was a bit older than my usual newborn, and tinier too!  I always marvel at the littlest newborns who visit my home studio since my own son was 9lb 10oz at birth.  These teeny tiny little ones are so much fun for me to play with!   Enjoy your […]

Although she made me work for it, some of my all-time favorite newborn photos are in this little (well, if a 9lb 14oz baby can be called ‘little’) newborn’s gallery!  She definitely wasn’t the soundest sleeper I’ve ever photographed, but the hard work paid off in these shots!  What dreamy cheeks she has!!

I just had to sneak peek a few of these beautiful family photos from last night’s beach session.  It was a celebration – with 14 family members from Virginia and Canada (yep, our neighbor to the north!) celebrating these twins’ baptism weekend.  They are absolutely the cutest pair I’ve seen – well since my last […]

A sweet little sleeper visited me early this week – and I had so much fun playing with her!  Enjoy the peek at Laura Grace! I just love this knitted princess crown! And, if you follow my blog you know that I have a thing with baby toes!

Technically, you’ve met her before…her birth story was featured on the blog recently!  But here is her first official portrait session.  She was over nine pounds at birth and I just loved cuddling all those rolls. Her mommy brought this Minnie Mouse hat and diaper cover along and it was so adorable! She started smiling […]

It was an absolutely GORGEOUS day today as we welcomed home the heroes of the VFA-81.  The skies were blue, the sun was shining and the temperatures cooled just enough to make it picture perfect!Remember this little sweetheart?  One of my favorite newborn photos ever!Well, she’s 7 months old now, and her Daddy came home […]

It’s a GIRL!! There are so few surprises in life anymore – I always get a *tinge* extra excited when I hear that a client is waiting to find out the gender of their child when he/she is born!  And then being asked to photograph the moment of their birth becomes that much more exciting. […]

It was a HOT ONE last night when we trekked all the way out to Smithfield to try out a new location! We originally had talked about this session on the beach, but I usually dissuade those with babies under 2 from the beach unless they are very comfortable little beach babes! The humid air […]

Sweet Allison was a FAB sleeper for me!  I just love when I start to take a newborn’s legs out of her clothes and then just curl right back up as if they are still all curled up in the womb!  That is my first clue that a baby is ‘fresh’ and ready to be […]
