I photographed this sweet couple with their fur babies last winter for their Christmas card.  I was in shock when she emailed me wanting to do a maternity session!  I had no idea she was expecting a sweet little girl next month.  I cannot wait to meet baby A in just one short month!

These sisters were so sweet together! I loved photographing their free spirits running around in the gardens at The Hermitage.

I had a great time photographing these sweet and polite siblings last week at their private residence. I love the laid back but still formal feel their session gives. Happy summer!!

I loved everything about this beautiful private estate wedding.  The event took place at the bride’s father’s home in Chic’s Beach in Virginia Beach.  I was fortunate to have been able to have worked with some of the area’s top vendors.  Jill, with Sunkissed Events, planned an amazing day with beautiful details for Katie and Ryan.  Roost created the gorgeous bouquets, centerpieces, and all of the flowers that you will see below.  I especially loved the flowers draped along the tables and on the back of the bride and groom chairs.  Chef by Design did an amazing job by providing a scrumptious meal and exceptional service throughout the night.  Distinctive Event Rentals provided the tents, tables, and beautiful x back farm chairs while Blue Steel Lighting Design lit the reception for a night full of dancing.

I always love photographing this fun family! This is the home they brought their adorable mini-mes to as newborns. Now they are getting ready for a new adventure together as a family. Although this was a bittersweet photo session for all of us, I know they will be back to Norfolk soon enough to visit the grandparents.

Here are the beautiful W girls from their mommy and me session.  Little P was quite the explorer and loved picking up sticks and leaves during the session.  How sweet is she with those adorable ringlets?!

Meet the K family photographed at the Hermitage Museum.  I never get tired of photographing at the Hermitage because there are so many beautiful spots…and how adorable is little MK?  Her sweet little curls!

This is one of my most favorite themed sessions to photograph each year! I usually use baby bunnies and chicks, but I wanted to switch it up a little this year and use a baby lamb. How adorable is baby lamb Darla??!! Thank you to all of the amazing families who came out for the fun!
