Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to the twelve families who donated to the Davis Family.  I want you to meet Joshua, the little boy who inspired me to do these minisessions….and Rufus, his CHKD bear.  At our session, his mommy said that he was given this bear in the hospital – the patches are […]

After my marathon mini-sessions two weekends in a row (where the ages of children ranged from 6 months to 12 years), I came to the conclusion that it might be helpful for a photographer to write to her clients about things to do (and maybe a few not to do) during a custom portrait session. […]

This couple wasn’t too sure about allowing me to share their photos on the blog…and the mom-to-be joked with me that she really liked the photos on my website “with just the belly – and no faces” so I decided to do a sneak peek just for her.   No faces – just belly – in […]

I was so flattered to have been asked to travel to Richmond to photograph this sweet newborn.  And even though we had to work for it (didn’t we, Dad?) we ended up with some beautiful shots!  Enjoy your sneak peek! I shared this one on Facebook, but it truly is one of my new all-time […]

There is just something about babies with chubby cheeks that makes me melt!  This little guy was so sweet – even if he was awake for a while at first!  I got to hold him and snuggle him to sleep, which is the best part of my job (is this a JOB??)! Check out this […]

While proofing images from this little guy’s birth, I ran across this one and fell in love.  He was so wide awake right after birth, those big eyes just taking it all in! When I met with him again, he was 8 days old.  And those wide awake eyes were quite the challenge for us!!  […]

This cutie pie has waited a long time to see her Daddy.  Remember how adorable she and her mommy were back when I photographed them to send pics to him while on deployment?  She’s even cuter now, if that’s possible! We hung out together at Norfolk International Airport on Monday evening waiting for Daddy to […]

The USS Eisenhower returned from a 7 month deployment this week – it was my third homecoming in three days, and definitely the hottest day to be outside, but well worth it to capture such a special event.  What an amazing experience!  The news organizations estimated 20,000 people were waiting at Norfolk Naval Base for […]

What an awesome experience to be at the fly-in homecoming of a squadron at Oceana Naval Air Station!  My husband has always said that the jet noise you hear in this area is just the “sound of freedom” and that rang so true while I was attending this special event.  These guys were gone for […]

I am very excited to share with you a special birth – a VBAC (somewhat rare in this area) at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center!  This new little guy’s daddy will be returning from deployment this week and missed his entrance by only a few days.  But, I was there to capture each moment for them! […]
