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!

Awesome kids: Hampton Roads Photography, On-location portraits, Candid childrens portraits

On my iPod this week is the song, “Circle of Friends” by Point of Grace. For 2 years my kids & I have been blessed with a very special group of friends. We’ve enjoyed countless playdates, afternoons at the pool, shopping trips running errands, homeschooling adventures, neighborhood walks, travel, laughter, learning, & growing. Things are shifting a bit as my oldest son starts school this fall and the rest of our group continues homeschooling. This is an exciting new adventure for my family, but bittersweet as we’ll miss our extra time with our friends and I’ll miss the wonderful homeschooling community in Hampton Roads. But what comfort to know that we will always have these precious memories and these lovely kids and their mamas in our lives. We love you guys!

And here’s the song. Excuse me while I get more tissues…

Blue-Eyed Girl

I loved meeting and photographing baby E. She was a joy! Her parents were cool and relaxed, and so well prepared! They brought snacks, toys, changes of clothing, and Dad even pulled a towel out of his bag when E got soaked in the fountain!
