Whitfield | Family Photographer Hampton Roads

• June 21st, 2016 •

Can this family GET any cuter?!?! I had so much photographing CJ’s first birthday portraits as well as their family portraits. They haven’t done family portraits yet AND mom and dad hadn’t done any portraits together ever, so this was an extra special shoot for them. And when I say they ROCKED this session, I meant it! Denise and Christopher are a stunning couple and made my job so easy! The light was perfect and CJ was such a little model and his adorable smile melted my heart! I would have shot for another hour if it hadn’t gotten dark and chilly.

The images that resulted from this shoot are STUNNING! Denise cried when she saw them and honestly, that is one of the favorite parts of my job. I know it sounds terrible, “I like making my clients cry” but when they are crying tears of joy because they have never had such beautiful images of themselves… well, I might have shed a tear or two myself!

Denise and Christopher, thank you so much for allowing me to capture your family. It truly was an honor and I can’t wait for our next session!

Welcome Emmanuel | Newborn Photographer Virginia Beach

• June 20th, 2016 •

What can be better than three amazing boys? FOUR amazing boys! Welcome baby Emmanuel to the beautiful Lopez family. I was so very excited to photograph this adorable, chubby little guy! He was such a trooper during our session and was a great little model! His big brothers can’t wait for him to grow up a little more… I see lots of backyard wrestling matches and football games in their future! Thank you Orlyn and and Alejandro for allowing me to spend time with your little guy and photograph your family. It is such an honor too capture these moments and I hope we lots of years of family portraits in our future!

Spring Adventures 2016 | Children Photographer Hampton Raods

• June 13th, 2016 •

My annual Spring Adventures sessions are always so much fun! This year was our fourth year and the cuteness was on overload! I love all my little woodland fairies and adventuresome boys.

During this session, you might see my beautiful little clients with singing with birds, jumping with frogs, smelling the flowers and going on adventures and even fishing!

We do this session every year so if you missed it this year, send me your e-mail and I will make sure you aren’t left out next year!

Four Sessions in ONE! | Family Portrait Photographer Virginia Beach

• April 26th, 2016 •

When your anniversary coincides with your baby’s first birthday, you are pregnant and needing maternity portraits, and it’s been awhile since you did family portraits, do you need to book multiple sessions? Not with me you don’t. We can do them all at one and kill four birds with one stone!

When Cheyla called inquiring about anniversary/maternity portraits and little Rico needed his first year portraits, I said “Why not do them at the same time? And heck, if the family can come, we’ll do some family portraits too!”

We had such a blast and Cheyla is a ROCK STAR as it was COLD out! Spring kept coming and then leaving… 70 degrees one day and then 45 the next. We had already rescheduled once for wind and rain, and we didn’t want to do it again. So Cheyla braved the cold again! (Her last maternity portraits were in the SNOW!)

We had a great time in the park capturing the family portraits ( we missed big brother Angel but were happy to have Cheyla’s brother Chris there!) Prince Rico had a blast at the park celebrating turning one and was such a ham for the camera. We finished at the park with some romantic maternity portraits; I love capturing Cheyla and Eddie- their love is so genuine and beautiful!

W left the park to capture a few more portraits in the studio and to photograph his cake smash! He loved the portraits but wasn’t too happy about the cake! He had a few bites and then just wanted to be done and kept getting mad at us for smearing icing in on him. I cannot wait to photograph his baby sister when she arrives!

The Lopez’s- Adding another boy to the mix! | Maternity Photographer Virginia Beach

• April 10th, 2016 •

Meet the handsome Lopez boys… oh, yeah, and the beautiful mom that impressively handles it all, Orlyn. I was so excited to capture this family as they prepare to welcome… another BOY!

We wanted to capture some family and maternity portraits outdoors, but the weather was a bit chilly! Thankfully, my studio has a beautiful outdoor space as well so we were able to do the family portraits outdoors and then head inside for a few more maternity portraits.

Everyone is so excited to meet baby Emmanuel and his big brothers can’t wait to teach him all the ropes of being a Lopez! We had a blast on our session and the boys were amazingly well behaved and simply adorable to photograph!

I will be sharing Emmanuel’s welcome to the world soon… but for now lets enjoy the family as they prepare to welcome him!

As a side note, Orlyn looks AMAZING! She totally rocked her maternity shots and looks like a hired model!!!

Tough Siblings | Virginia Beach Photographer

• March 11th, 2016 •

Meet Kenneth, Hunter and Ethan… three tough brothers you don’t want to mess with! Last year, Kenny began wrestling at Great Neck Middle school with my son Logan. Our families became friends and we have enjoyed watching Kenny move onto high school and continuing to excel in the sport. So I wasn’t surprised when I heard his little brothers followed in his footsteps and began wrestling too! Today they all wrestle with the Great Neck Wrestling Club in Virginia Beach. Since it’s not often you find three brothers all excited about the same sport, we wanted to capture all of them together in some great portraits.

I love these boys and they kept me laughing through the whole session. Can’t wait to see how the next few years mold and change these boys into men!

Waiting for blessing #6 | Maternity Portraits Virginia Beach

• February 16th, 2016 •

This beautiful momma is Christy and she is expecting blessing number SIX! So very excited to celebrate with her and I can’t wait to meet little Brandon! After her baby shower at our church, we took a few portraits outside, as she’s already 8 cm dilated and we didn’t think she’d make it many more days being pregnant! But over two weeks later, little Brandon is still warm and snug in the womb! He’ll come when he’s good and ready!

Christy, you are a beautiful momma-to-be! Enjoy these last few days before you welcome this last little Sawyer! I know his brothers and sisters can’t wait to meet him 🙂

Welcome Noah | Newborn Portrait Photographer

• October 21st, 2015 •

Look at this adorable little guy!!! He was such a rock star during his session and I LOVE how his portraits turned out. We don’t know if he’ll be a little bookworm or a Harley Riding tough guy, so we tried to capture both in his portraits!

Layake and Matt, you make adorable babies… I think you should have about half a dozen more! 🙂

Raschdorf Family | Family Photographer Virginia Beach

• August 4th, 2015 •

I LOVE seeing my families grow! It has been a few years since I photographed Jake and Brittany’s family… and since then they have added Kenzie! So it was such a joy to photograph them again and I have to say, these girls LOVE to model! Usually I have to fight to keep little ones just looking at the camera… with Kenzie and Kira it was hard to get them to STOP posing! Future little models I think for sure! They loved the camera and were SO MUCH FUN to photograph. The next kids I photograph have large shoes to fill!

We had such a blast climbing trees and sand dunes, playing with umbrellas and seashells and enjoying a beautiful sunset. Thanks Jake and Brittany for trusting me again with capturing your beautiful family!

Eli Acting Headshots | Virgina Beach Professional Headshot Photographer

• June 5th, 2015 •

Eli is a very talented young lady! For many years she has been acting and dancing all over Hampton Roads and I have been blessed to photograph her many times over! As kids do, she has done some growing and we needed to update her headshots so all the talent agents can see how much more beautiful and mature she has become!

I adore working with such talented clients and I see a very big future for Eli. She’s kindhearted, full of energy and love and I know she is going to shine… whether it be in local productions, the big screen or the bright lights of broadway!

I can’t wait to continue our photography relationship and to see Eli continue to grow, blossom and accomplish all her dreams!
