Introducing Baby C: Virginia Beach Photographer, Virginia Beach Child Portraits, Virginia Beach Newborn Portraits, Virginia Beach Newborn Photographer

Because I know there is an entire VILLAGE of people waiting, here he is!

This little one has just been born into an amazing family and is loved beyond expectations. Lovely parents, amazing grandparents, and too many aunts/uncles/cousins to count. He’s a very blessed boy. Oh, and he’s also absolutely adorable.

What a great way to start your life!

Sweet family! Virginia Beach Photographer, Hampton Roads Child Photography, Family Portraits, Newborn Portraits

This lovely woman is my ***amazing*** massage therapist! I would be sooooo lost without her! She is truly gifted and I’m blessed to know her.

I had the opportunity to photograph her beautiful family in Olde Towne Portsmouth. They were fun, silly, and very loving. The 2 boys are L & B. L is in high school, B is in preschool–despite the age difference, they have a very special relationship. And by the way can you believe that mom & dad are old enough to have a child in high school??

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!

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.

Suffolk, VA Child Photographer: Twins!

It’s no secret how much I love twins, so I was overjoyed when I got the opportunity to document these 2 little cuties! A & A are just precious and we had a great time together. Here’s a quick sneak peek for you, Mom, because I *know* you’re waiting for it!

2 times the fun! Sandbridge Virginia Beach Photography, Hampton Roads Photography, Family Photography

I loved this family so much I did TWO sessions! ha, ha, just a little joke for them! Actually, about 5 minutes into our BEACH session a huge storm rolled in and we got rained out. I had a blast hanging out with them watching the Olympics as we waited for the storm to pass! But it never did, so we scheduled a re-take for the next day. It worked out beautifully in the end, as we were blessed with perfect weather, happy kids, and gorgeous light.

I know you’re looking for it, so here’s your Sneak Peek, D! Thanks for allowing me the honor of documenting your family!
