The Murrays and the Hansons Sunrise Family Session | Hampton Roads Family Photographer

Remember Hurricane Joaquin way back at the beginning of October?  This session was yet another victim to the rain!  Half of this family lives out of town, though, so this was the first chance we had to reschedule, and we went for a sunrise session!  It’s no secret that the Lions Bridge at the Noland Trail […]

The Meade Family | Sandy Bottom Nature Park | Hampton Roads Family Photographer

There’s something special about being a boy mom.  You have to be okay with fighting and crazy stunts and 4,000 legos covering your living room floor.  And Angie seems to have totally aced the boy mom life!  Her youngest is in high school and they still have sword fights with sticks in the woods during […]

When You Have Young Children… | The Menser Family | Hampton Roads Family Photographer

Anytime a family with young kids gets in front of my lens, there’s trepidation (on their part, not mine!).  The mom feels a strong desire to get family photos because the kids won’t be this little forever, and it’s a huge piece of life you want to remember forever.  But at the same time, having […]

Sean + Rebecca | Fort Monroe Family Photographer

Sean and Rebecca are newlyweds, and soooo sweet!  Seriously, after leaving their session I was just in awe of what sweet people they are.  How is it that after meeting someone for an hour you get to know them so well?  It’s definitely one of my favorite parts of the job! Enjoy these two, Rebecca’s gorgeous […]

Sandy Bottom Nature Park | Family Sessions | Hampton Roads Family Photographer

One of my favorite things about photography is how many different people I get to meet.  Heather first saw our work 5 years ago when we did a senior session for one of her family members, and when she was in town a few weeks ago, she took advantage of that time to squeeze in […]

The Macks | Hampton Roads Family Photographer

This family is so full of love and laughter that I could have just photographed them all night!  Angie is a fantastic artist and wanted lots of color throughout her family session, so we chose Phoebus for the location, with some beautiful murals and bright pops of color.  This was also just a few days after […]

This sweet family just celebrated their first year as a family of six.  A year ago this week, they were all in China getting to know Aila and welcoming her into their family.  I’ll never forget the excitement we felt back home– just a tiny slice of the excitement and love they were feeling over […]

Life May Get Messy | First Anniversary Session | Mikaela + Mike

Life may get messy, but we always have each other. That’s what Mikaela sent me when she was describing their plans for their first anniversary session.  Isn’t that so true?  The first year of marriage is so messy.  Getting used to the other person, combining bills, and all the other firsts.  It was the perfect […]
