One of my favorite spots downtown was the site of my recently family session.  My camera absolutely loved this family (okay, I did, too) with the teenage daughter who was stunningly beautiful, a 4 year old son who was so cooperative that I didn’t know what to do with myself and three adults who smiled […]

I’m all too familiar with four year olds, having one living in my house right now, so when I was contacted to do a session on this little guy’s fourth birthday, I knew what to expect!  Four year olds are notorious for being on one minute and off the next…they pretty much do what they […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

I received the most amazing e-mail recently from one of my OpLove clients.  His wife wanted to surprise him with the album of photos, so she didn’t tell him about our session and he opened the package to find a Spiral Bound album filled with photos of his two beautiful girls.  Here is the e-mail […]

These girls arrived in the cutest flower dresses – I love when outfits coordinate but don’t match exactly!  I am posting this sneak peek super quick since I know that these little girls’ daddy is leaving this week for a 7 month deployment and I want him to be sure to have seen these! I […]

At this very moment, I am sitting in a labor & delivery room awaiting the arrival of a new life!  In a few hours, a woman will become a mother for the first time.  Today will be Mother’s Day for her! Motherhood is such an amazing thing – and I spent some time with some […]

This weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing two 6 month old baby boys!  On Saturday, it was another installment of The Baby Plan with this cherubic little guy.  You might remember him from his 3 month session.  We had to play a lot of peek-a-boo and give lots of tickles, and ended up with […]
