Jaita Turns Two

• August 22nd, 2016 •

Turning two is a pretty big accomplishment and grandma (GiGi) wanted to celebrate with a photoshoot! Little Jaita totally rocked her two year old session. (Of course, like any two year old, she wasn’t completely cooperative and attentive the entire time… but with a little patience and bribery we made it work.)

We included her momma’s favorite team, the Cowboys, much to dad’s surprise (not HIS favorite team) Elmo and her favorite baby doll. Jaita is such a beautiful little lady and I love seeing her sassy little smile every time I get to photograph her!

Welcome Mr. Gabriel | Newborn Portrait Photographer

• August 5th, 2016 •

Mr Gabriel was ready to come into this world… so ready he came the very day we had scheduled his mommy for her maternity portraits!!! So sadly, we don’t have maternity portraits for mommy and daddy, but we do have some amazing newborn portraits! He was such a little star during our session. He slept and cooed and was such a joy to photograph. Mom and dad did pretty amazing too! I can’t wait to watch him grow and I look forward to our next session!

Check out Mr. Gabriel in all his adorableness!

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!

Announcing Baby Mack! | Baby’s First Year Photographer Hampton Roads

• April 10th, 2016 •

Nigel and Tia are expecting!!!! I photographed Nigel and Tia’s engagement and am so very excited to be continuing our relationship as we head into photographing the Baby’s First Year!

I was SO excited to get the call from Tia telling me the news…. they are expecting a HONEYMOON baby! YAY!!!

I LOVE that I was one of the first to know as they wanted me to photograph the announcement. Nigel is deployed so we wanted to do a shoot that incorporated him across all the miles, you’ll see him in the phone pointing at a picture of the ultrasound! I love how the images turned out and am so excited to do a maternity session in six months or so. Tia is already glowing and I can’t wait to see how she transforms into the amazing mom God has called her to be.

Congrats Nigel and Tia! So very excited for you and can’t wit to meet your little blessing.

Welcome Shiloh | Newborn Photographer Virginia Beach

• April 4th, 2016 •

She’s HERE… Welcome baby Shiloh! Even though she was born in December, for me, she was my New Year’s baby! Why? Well- she was my first client of the new year! What a way to start 2016!

Shiloh has been a member of the Devon Shanor Photography family for years… as I have been photographing her mommy and daddy before I was even in business! Jared and Haley are wonderful friends and clients and they have trusted me for years to capture their memories! We’ve gone from their engagement to their wedding, from professional headshots to maternity portraits! We have walked through many ups and downs together and I was very excited to hear that they welcomed little Shiloh just after Christmas!

Shiloh is such a perfect little girl. I wanted to cuddle her as much as photograph her during her session! She’s blessed with such wonderful parents and extended family and I can’t wait to see her grow into the amazing little girl she is destined to become.

Thanks Jared and Haley for sharing her with me. She is such a beautiful little lady and I am so excited to see your little family growing!

Thee boys = a FULL house! | Newborn/Family Photographer Virginia Beach

• January 28th, 2016 •

Welcome baby Judah! He joins big brothers Elam and Kenan, making mom and dad some very blessed and tired parents! As Judah was a bit older than most newborns during their session (he was just a month old during his session!) he didn’t do a lot of sleeping. .. so we worked with that and we got to see lots of his beautiful, inquisitive eyes!

If you have ever tried to photograph a two year old and a one month old at the same time, you’ll know we had our work cut out for us! Teenage brother Kenan was a GREAT assistant to me though, helping wrangle Elam and helping me soothe little Judah in between setups! Finally, we were even able to pull off some beautiful family portraits showcasing this loving, amazing, beautiful family!

Melinda and Jeff- thanks for sharing your boys with me. It might have been a hectic session but I am so very pleased with our results and was so blessed to have met you both! May God bless you and grant you sleepy boys and sleep filled nights!

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! 🙂

Jack 18 Months | Family Photographer Virginia Beach

• July 22nd, 2015 •

Jack was one of my Baby’s First Year clients and I was so blown away when I saw him at 18 months! He’s grown SO much! He’s talking and running and FULL of energy! He loved throwing rocks into the water and laughing with his grandparents! One grandpa lives nearby but his grandma and grandpa were in town from Poland, so that called for some new updated family portraits. I simply adore building relationships with my clients and I have loved seeing this little family grow.

Karsyn Turns ONE | Baby’s First Year Photographer Virginia Beach

• May 29th, 2015 •

My Baby’s First Year program is so very special to me! I am done having little ones of my own, so being able to photograph all the little milestones in my little clients is such an incredible joy for me. You have met my little princess Karsyn before on my blog and she has just had her first birthday! We celebrated in the studio for her last session: her first year portraits. She has such a beautiful, happy soul and she is already showcasing so much of her big personality! She giggled and laughed throughout the entire session and she loved her cake smash! There was cake, icing and yogurt everywhere and we had one happy little tummy by the end!

Karsyn, you have changed so much and yet so little since our first session so many months ago! I am so sad the first year is over… but hopefully I will have many more opportunities over the years to photograph you and watch as you grow into that big personality. Mom and Dad, keep up the great work! I adore your little family! <3
