New Years Baby | Newborn Photographer Virginia Beach

• January 12th, 2015 •

TECHNICALLY Little Johnny was born in 2014 but we didn’t photograph him until the new year, so he’s my first newborn in the new year making him my New Years Baby!!! Little Johnny (or JB3 as he is Johnny the third!) was about a month old when we did his portraits, as the fuss and bustle of the holidays didn’t allow us to do them sooner. He was a perfect gentleman and I had such a wonderful time photographing him for my longtime clients Jennifer and Johnny. I so love seeing my families grow and expand! Little Johnny has long been prayed for and I am honored and blessed to be a part of his life! Big sister Cheyenne is so in love and is already an amazing big sister!

Jennifer, you are doing a great job! Thanks for allowing me to be his first babysitter! 🙂

Enjoy the cuteness!

Alex: Half a year old! | Baby’s First Year Photographer

• September 22nd, 2014 •

It’s a bird… It’s a plane… it’s… a drooling six month old! Alex is growing up so fast and for his six month old session he channeled his best Super man and Winnie the Pooh. (I have to say he is the cutest little superhero and childhood character I have ever seen!) He also played in a box, rode a bike with his siblings and showed me how (strong and happy) he is during some tummy time! I can’t believe our Baby’s first Year sessions are half over! Soon he’ll be one and running around after his sisters. I don’t know how mom and dad feel, but I wish time would slow down. 🙂 But since it won’t, it’s good we have these amazing portraits to help us remember his adorable his first year.

Getting ready for Apollo | Maternity Portraits Virginia Beach

• September 3rd, 2014 •

One of my FAVORITE session in a long time was this one with Jennifer and Michael. They are the most relaxed, laid back, in love couple and they were completely open to anything I wanted to do. Jennifer had the MOST perfect little baby bump and I was DYING to use my newly purchased maternity posing gown. She wore it perfectly and I am so in love with the amazing portraits we captured. Little Apollo will be so loved by these two and their amazing extended family members, I just can’t wait to meet him. He’s due pretty soon, so be on the lookout for his newborn portraits! I hope he inherits mom and dad’s calm, laid back nature! 🙂

Jack Turns ONE! | Baby’s First Year Photographer: Virginia Beach

• September 2nd, 2014 •

Jacky Boy is ONE! What a great year it was for him. I so adored watching him grow and he gave me a run for my money on a few of our sessions (TWO teeth broke through the day after his six month session and the day afer this session we found out he had an ear infection!) but we always managed to capture his awesome personality! I LOVE his adorable faces he always showed and when he giggled and laughed for me… HEAVEN!

Thanks so much Raaf and Claire. It was an honor photographing your family this past year. You are doing a wonderful job raising such an amazing your man. I can’t wait to see your family grow (hint hint!) in the future!

Farewell Reichel Family | Virginia Beach Photographer

• August 19th, 2014 •

“There’s no place like Home, There’s no place like Home!” Michelle and Levi have loved their time in Virginia Beach with the navy, and I have so enjoyed getting to know them, BUT to them, HOME will always be Kansas. This was a bittersweet session for me as it is our last before they leave to head home to Kansas.

I love Michelle and Levi, Tommy, Noah, Evie, Maddie and little Willow… they have been with me almost since the start of my professional photographer career. This will always be one of my very favorite images I did so many years ago!

Then fast forward to today- two babies later and lots of changes! I am so proud of you both. I know life is a roller coaster and you’ve been on many ups and downs, but you have never given up on each other. I hate that you are moving but I know you can’t wait to get to Kansas and I pray for many many blessings to rain down once you arrive!

Thanks so much for allowing me to become a part of your family. I pray all the portraits we’ve taken over the years will hang in your new home and you will forever be reminded of your Virginia Beach home and family. You are the clients I cherish. The ones who come to me year after year, milestone after milestone. You have blessed me so much and I am so thankful for you. You are an amazing family and I will miss you terribly! 🙂

Wilson Maternity | Virginia Beach Photographer

• May 27th, 2014 •

Wilson Baby number two is on her way!!!! I LOVE this family! Latoya and Mark’s son, Mark Jr., was one of the first newborns I ever photographed. I was over the moon when I heard they were expecting baby number two! We had such a wonderful time exploring the woods at First Landing State Park, And oh my goodness, did they make my job easy! They are still so in love and so gorgeous! Little Mark is a heartbreaker and I can’t wait to photograph little Malaya soon!

Welcome Mr. Declan Bird | Virginia Beach Newborn Photographer

• April 30th, 2014 •

Declan is such a powerful little name, I feel it sounds right to call him Mr. Declan. 🙂

I just have LOVED seeing this family grow over the years! I was so blessed to photograph Pamela’s Bridal portraits a few years and then have gotten to do some family portraits over the years as well. Now, adding little Declan to the mix is just a blessing. It is why I do what I do: capturing the amazing moments in your life with amazing portraits you will treasure forever! It is such a blessing for me to not only capture them, but to capture this big moment…and then be there for the next one too. I LOVE when my clients keep returning to me…it truly makes my heart swell!!!

Back to Mr. Declan… This little dark-haired beauty did amazingly during our shoot. He slept awhile, then calmly opened his eyes and looked right into the camera. His big sister is a pretty amazing young lady with some modeling potential, so I think she taught him some tips! I loved his session so much and hope you will enjoy it too.

Welcome Baby Jack | Virginia Beach Newborn Photographer

• April 29th, 2014 •

I was SO excited to meet Baby Jack. Mommy and Daddy and big brother are practically family as we adopted their dog, Dunkin, a few years back. I have photographed their wedding and family portraits over the years and was SO excited to get my hands on Baby Jack. He was a trooper during our shoot and big brother, Jace, was such a rockstar!! Jace did great during our sibling shots and then, he gave us a whole 2 hours of quiet playing in the other room without disturbing us while we did Jack’s portraits!

Jack is such a handsome and tiny little guy. I loved his sweet disposition and his easy relaxed state… hoping he stays that way for a while for his mama!!! Enjoy some of our favorite images from his newborn shoot!

Waiting on Baby Willow | Maternity Portraits Virginia Beach

• April 29th, 2014 •

I first photographed Levi and Michelle about three years ago when they first moved to Virginia Beach. We’ve been fast friends ever since and have worked together many times. I have seen the birth of their last daughter, Maddie, and am SO excited to be helping them welcome Baby Willow to the family as well! We went to Fort Story in Virginia Beach for their Maternity Session and had a wonderful time celebrating their last (are you guys SURE?) pregnancy to complete their family of seven…that’s five munchkins!

It has been a difficult year for them so this time of celebrating new life was so much fun! We laughed, Michelle got a little wet, and we took some amazing portraits. Enjoy and celebrate with us as we get ready to welcome Baby Willow!
