After such a snow-filled winter this year, which immediately turned into a blazing summer spring, I think we were all a little terrified of what summer would bring weather-wise!  I have to say, I’ve been pleasantly surprised!  It’s almost as if spring & summer switched with each other this year.  Sure, it’s hot, but not […]

A few weeks ago I was at a Peninsula Pilots game with my church and the lady in front of me introduced herself.  “Hi, I’m Wendy.  You’re doing my family pictures next week!”  Let me tell you– that is the coolest thing ever.  I knew we went to the same church, but I’d never met […]

Oh my goodness… can we say gorgeous??  Tracey can certainly rock it out at 8 months pregnant in the scorching heat!  I have no idea how she kept her hair looking so good, but I need that secret!  We showed you their baby shower for baby Lillian awhile back, and now here’s their maternity session. […]

Did you know we offer gift certificates?  Well, we do!  And this husband knew that’s exactly what his wife would want– and he was right!  He shared about how much she loved having pictures of their family, but it’d been awhile since they’d had them done. It’s so true… mommas want pictures with their families!  […]

You know those people who just canNOT take a bad picture?  That’s this whole family!  They were smiling ear to ear the entire session– not because I asked them to, but just because they’re happy people.  🙂  I love that!  And their little baby boy “Bacon” as they have affectionately nicknamed him, is just cute […]

I’ve been photographing this sweet family twice a year since moving to Virginia and I just love watching them grow!  I love how down to earth the parents are, and their kids are just like them.  Their daughter is not a fan of the camera, but she has began to humor me over the years […]

When we decided to buy a home last year, Carlyn texted us the very next day.  We hadn’t told her we were looking, but it’s like a sixth sense she has as a real estate agent.  She sent us a picture of a house that was going on the market that she thought we’d like.  […]

Remember this family?  We shared about their pregnancy announcement, gender reveal, and now their maternity photos!  This was my first time shooting in this area and like most areas near the water, it was super windy!  We used the wind to our advantage, and when we couldn’t do that, we waited for it to die […]

Being able to follow a family throughout a major life change is an honor, and with this family, I got to do their pregnancy announcement, gender reveal party, maternity, baby shower and lifestyle newborn photos!  Admittedly, the baby shower photos were a given since I hosted the shower at my house.  But still, how unbelievably […]

Four years ago I told my family we were having family pictures made.  I told them to wear blue, white, or khaki in any combination. My dad threatened to wear a blue Hawaiian shirt.  I said, “great!”  He was taken aback, thinking I’d be upset that he was trying to ruin the pictures.  The thing […]
