Happy Spring!

April 15, 2009 – 5:25 pm

Here’s a posting palooza from recent favorite sessions. Spring is here and I love it! I’ve been crazy busy and this neglected blog reflects that, but I vow to do better!

A few of my faves. Enjoy!

6 under 7: Virginia Beach Child Photographer, Hampton Roads childrens photography

April 14, 2009 – 5:50 pm

One of my recent faves was this goup of 6 kids under the age of 7–2 sibling groups who are cousins. They were just precious!

And the whole gang. (Yes, we got “good” images of all the kids looking happy, but this was MY fave!)

Virginia Senior Photographer; Hampton Roads Senior Photography

April 10, 2009 – 1:44 pm

My clients know how much I looooove working with little ones, but you may not know that I also do Senior Portraits and have just as much fun with teens! We are currently looking for our 2009-2010 Reps, so rising seniors are invited to inquire for more information. It’s a great way to earn free portraits and special Limited Edition products while modeling & having FUN!

    Oh to be young again. I would love to be your rep, but I’m a few years too late. :) You do beautiful senior work.

    These are great! I love the one of the young lady with the scarf. Beatufiul

  3. Anna-Karin   -  

    Gorgeous portraits and stunning kids!

  4. Lisa Kelly   -

    Wow. You do beautiful work with seniors!

Congratulations to Maddie!

February 10, 2009 – 8:53 am

We have names! Kitten is now officially “Tigre” (Tiger, in Spanish) and “Teeg” for short. :-) Our winner is Maddie M. Please email your address so I can send your prize. Congrats, and thank you!

And here is a picture of our little guy as he’s learning to open his eyes!

Mama cat was a different story–my husband named her. He just kept calling her Zoie and somehow it stuck. He doesn’t get a prize, though! ;-)

Thanks to everyone who posted & emailed! I’ve always had dogs and never imagined myself caring for a cat, but I must say I’m in love!

Help us name our new family members! [Virginia Newborn photography, Virginia Beach Newborn photographer, Chesapeake family photography]

February 2, 2009 – 9:35 pm

We are thrilled to have 2 new family members–a mama kitty and her baby newborn kitten! They are so sweet and our family fell instantly in love. But they need names! Any ideas? We want something creative and unusual, and it would be cool if the names “go together.” Email your suggestions to kristina@kristinawhitman.com. Our family will vote on the names and the winner will receive a $25 iTunes gift card!

It’s very cool to watch Kitty care for her baby. She is loving and attentive, but generous enough to share him with us. When not nursing or snuggling her baby she loves to sit on my lap or play with the kids. Kitten’s eyes are still closed but starting to open. He can’t meow yet and just says, “MEW, MEW!” when he wants mama. He’s so adorable.

Here’s a BIG stretch!

Send your name suggestions! I’ll announce the winner in a few days!

  2. Lisa Kelly   -  

    How about Kitty and Cat, or Meow and Hiss, or Purr and Fect, hehehe.

  3. Anna-Karin   -  

    I dont have a suggestion for a name, but I wanted to say these are adorable. I love the one with your dd’s eyelashes as she is watching the kittycat. To sweet!

  4. Lauri   -  

    So sweet that mama has already put her trust in you! Tabitha and Tigger?

  5. Nina   -  

    Oscar!

    Oh my goodness- that 2nd shot is amazing! How precious!!

  7. Ruth Williams   -  

    No clue on the name but I had to say the images and that little thing is just too freakin’ cute!

  8. Julie   -  

    Gorgeous and cute, all at the same time! Love the ones with your DD and her new baby!

Awesome Family! [Virginia Beach family photography, Virginia Beach child photographer, Suffolk child photography, suffolk family photographs]

January 18, 2009 – 12:31 pm

These clients are very special to me. Mom is a dear friend, Dad is a dynamic & dedicated Pastor (and all-around great guy!), and I love their 4 kiddos as if they were my own! We had a blast doing their family photography session in Olde Towne Portsmouth.

The boys:

Baby brother

J, my buddy.

The cool guy!

Big sis. Isn’t she gorgeous?!

Father & daughter.

Mother & daughter.

And since they are also neighbors, I couldn’t resist dad’s idea for this shot!
