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 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 […]

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 […]

This couple’s time with me felt more like an engagement session than a maternity session!   They are so cute together and I can tell that they already are so in love with their baby boy who will be born sometime in July.  It was really fun to hang out with them –  but we had […]

This birth was so much fun – yes, I said FUN!  When I arrived to the hospital, the mom-to-be was in the throes of labor pains, and moving very quickly.  For a first time mom, she was a pro!  But once her epidural kicked in, it wasn’t long before the jokes and laughter took over.  […]

——————————— Here is just a super sneak peek from this week’s sessions: two newborns, both only 6 days old, and one beautiful belly!  I have a special place in my heart (and my schedule!) for maternity and newborns and wanted to share a couple of my favorites with you, and give a sneak peek to […]

You can’t tell from these pictures, but it was about 40 degrees the morning of this session and the wind was just frigid!  We ventured to downtown Norfolk to capture this family as they are anticipating the arrival of their newest addition.  They were such troopers in the cold – and I know they’re probably […]

The winter months are typically very difficult for the outdoor portrait photographer.  This winter has been especially cold and even SNOWY here in Virginia Beach and it has taken me by surprise!  So, I have been experimenting with branching out in my home studio lately.  Because the space is small, I have not taken anyone […]

It is such an honor to be present at the birth of a child – and I’ve had that honor twice in the past few months.  The beautiful photographs chronicle both the time leading up to a baby’s entrance to the world and the precious first moments after.  I am so thrilled to share with […]

After chatting with her on the phone, I wanted to do something a bit different for this maternity client, so we met down on the Boardwalk at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.  It was one of the only nicer days we’ve had this week, but boy did it end up getting WINDY!  Thanks, D, for being […]
