The Blog

There have been quite a few photographers who have recently written blog posts about why custom photography costs more.  Many of them are spot-on and very informative for people who may not have ever had the experience of a custom, on-location photographer before.  In fact, most of us are so used to the “in-and-out mall […]

You might remember this adorable redhead from a few months ago – I photographed him (and his Mommy) for Operation: Love ReUnited and sent the photos off to his daddy on the ship.  Today was their big homecoming and I was so excited to be there to capture it.  Welcome Home, Daniel and the USS […]

I met with these out-of-towners last night for a “family reunion” photo shoot. They are vacationing down in Sandbridge this week and contacted me a while ago to see if I would be willing to capture their families while they vacationed here in Virginia Beach.  I have to admit that I was petrified a bit […]

I had a very hard time narrowing down to just a few for this sneak peek.  Another beautiful mama-to-be with a gorgeous baby bump!  We met on a hot and muggy night with thunder in the background and sprinkles in the air.  Luckily, the rain held off until *right* at the end when we were […]

This cake smash session was extra special since this birthday girl is an Independence Day baby – born on July 4th!  I thought about holding these pictures back until the 4th, but figured that her mommy and daddy wouldn’t be too happy if they had to wait that long to see their sneak peek!  🙂 […]

*I saw this on another photographer’s blog and thought it was a FANTASTIC idea, so I’m totally stealing it from her.  Thanks, Amy at TTT Photography* ——————————- Whaat???  How could I possibly be thinking about fall and HOLIDAY minisessions during this crazy hot summer weather?  Well, I realized I was completely booked until September, so […]

I wanted to share with you today a real-life example of “What to Wear”.  This family showed up for their session and I was over-the-moon-excited about their outfits!  They did everything right – bright colors, coordination, comfort and style.  The baby had a three tiered dress that seemed to be the inspiration for their family […]

A beautiful baby, an awesome new location, super cute outfits…what more can a photographer ask for?  Well, maybe a smile or two.  Ha ha!   This was one of those sessions where I know that her mommy left thinking, “Did she *really* get any good pictures?” even though I assured her that we had! 18 months […]

Happy Father’s Day to all of my families!  Today’s sneak peek is for a new daddy – his little boy is just 3 months old!  This little guy was so serious during our session.  Of course, his mommy & daddy reported that he had been all smiles earlier that day.  Isn’t that always how it […]

When I was contacted last week by this 6 week old’s mommy, I thought it would probably be better if we waited until he was about 3 months old to do a session.  I typically reserve my newborn sessions for babies under 14 days old, since they are only sleepy and bendy for a brief […]
