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??

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!

Virginia Beach Child Photographer: Adorable Siblings!

S & L were so much fun to work with. S–adoring Big Brother who loves the camera; L–grandma’s girl and the best tickler in Virginia!

Virginia Beach Child Portrait Photography: Love those curls!

Miss E was as beautiful inside as she was outside! I had a blast working with her (& mom & grandma!) and loved her bright, curious personality. Not to mention those gorgeous curls!!





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!
