Advent Conspiracy

Love this video! What a great reminder. I’m sad to admit this is a truth I too often forget. Visit Advent Conspiracy to learn more!

Virginia Beach Family Christmas Portraits: Baby K

This precious girl is the daughter of my friend and neighbor, so I get to see her often. She is the prettiest little girl and has brought her family so much joy. She did some modeling for me and acted like a seasoned pro! Meet Miss K.

K’s mom loves strollers as much as I do so of course I had to snap a shot of their uber cool Phil & Teds!

LOVE this onesie & matching blanket! They can be found here.

Here is baby K having little snack. Mom is provided privacy thanks to the very cool Itty Bitty Baby Blanket from Tailored Tadpole. It’s an adorable lovey just the right size for on-the-go comfort and it has a loop to attach it to a stroller or carseat. As mom shows here, it is the perfect nursing cover-up and the loop allows it to attach to mom. Love that!

Look at those cheeks! Yum!

Hampton Roads Child Portrait Photographer: N & N

These precious siblings were so much fun! We had a ball together in Olde Towne Portsmouth for this urban mini session!

New date for Minis!

We have added an additional date for Mini Sessions! SUNDAY, November 9! These will be afternoon sessions so you can still go to church or have family time, etc, and then meet me at the Botanical Gardens for your session. These slots will fill up fast so email the studio asap to schedule!

I’ve Been Tagged!

Fall is in there air and I’m loving it! It’s hard to stay inside, I have cabin fever! So, for a different kind of post– I’ve been tagged!

My friend Allie, who is a children’s portrait photographer in Milwaukee, tagged me to share 7 random things about me.  The Rules are:

1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Write 7 random things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag.

So here we go–hopefully this is actually interesting, lolol!

1. My favorite hobby is “reading” books on my iPod; I just finished 1776.
2. I can make up a silly song about anything to entertain a fussy/sick/bored kid. Just don’t ask me to sing in front of adults, because I can’t carry a tune to save my life!
3. I actually *liked* getting up in the middle to the night to care for my newborns. Weird, I know!
4. I often dream that I’m swimming under water and can breathe the water like a fish. Can anyone psychoanalyze that for me?! ;-)
5. I became a Christian 6 years ago after the birth of my son. I was agnostic; but one look into the tiny, lovely, amazing face of my miracle baby was all the proof I required that God in indeed very real and very present in my life.
6. I really love my… Bento Laptop Lunchbox! Seriously, it’s the most exciting thing since the Holly Hobbie lunchbox I had in elementary school! Now I’m the mom & the one making the lunch, but regardless, the Laptop Lunchbox is waaaay cooler than Holly Hobbie.
7. My secret childhood ambition was to be a soap star! [*gasp* I can’t believe I’m admitting this!]

That’s it! Now to tag some other friends–Gretchen, Patti, Angela, Linde, Joyce, Sherri, and Becca. Have fun girls!

Oh–and because I don’t like to post without a picture, here is the little face I referenced in #5.
