Baby #5! [Suffolk Newborn Photography, Suffolk Virginia Photographer, Chesapeake Newborn Portraits]

This is one of the most blessed babies I’ve photographed. Not only does she have 2 adoring parents and a protective big brother, but she also has 3 big sisters! Welcome, Baby L. Know that you are loved!

L’s dad will be deploying to Iraq very soon, but I know mom (aka SuperMom!) will do an awesome job caring for the family while he is gone. Dad, be safe. Thank you for your service to our country, and may God be with you.

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!

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!

Portsmouth, VA Custom Childrens Photography: Adorable Toddler “T”

This boy stole my heart with his very first grin. He was an absolute doll! He had great energy and didn’t even let a broken ankle slow him down. Way to go, T!
