I photographed this beautiful family when there were only three members – the fourth was still hanging out in her mommy’s belly!  Actually, she was my very first maternity session ever (Thanks for trusting me!).  Now her little peanut is 7 months old and this baby girl has the most adorable doe eyes.  And, her […]

This mom-to-be is not just waiting on her new addition, she’s also waiting on her other half to return to her.  Daddy is deployed right now and although there is a slight chance that he may be back in time for this little guy’s birth, they are planning the big day without him. So, these […]

Another edition of the What To Wear Guide coming your way…

This little man was on the move – luckily, I have a little guy of my own who is the same age, so I knew just what to expect! He really loved to play in the grass or with the leaves and pine cones, so we just went with it.  I love capturing kids in […]

This precocious little boy is no stranger to me, but is always full of energy!  His Daddy has been gone for a few months now and these photos will be sent to him as a little Father’s Day “thank you” from me – through Operation: Love ReUnited.  I know it will make the last few […]

I had the honor of attending my first pierside homecoming today for Operation: Love ReUnited.  The USS Nicolas returned to Norfolk Naval Base after a 6 month deployment.  You might remember them in the news recently – they were the ship that ran into pirates!!

I am always on the lookout for new locations, so when this mom-to-be said she wanted to have her maternity portraits done at Ft. Story beach (by the Cape Henry Lighthouse), I was all for it!  I’ve seen this lighthouse in pictures and knew that there were some rocks near the water so I was […]

**Disclaimer:  Long, rambling post ahead** I’m writing this post from my heart today – not to share client photos or talk about a contest or give a sneak peek.  I’m writing this as a New Year’s Resolution.  I know, we typically expect New Year’s Resolutions in January, right?  That’s the time of year when we […]

I have been working on something special for my clients – a private page with ideas on how you can best display the photos from our session on your family’s walls!  This will be available only to clients, but I wanted to share just a couple of them with you.  There are many options (some […]

This sweet little girl was born just after her daddy returned from Iraq – you can see their Homecoming here – and I met her just a week after she was born.  A quick 2 1/2 hour labor (wow!) brought this tiny babe into the world.  She’s the second princess in this family, but clearly […]
