Welcome Baby A | Newborn Portraits Virginia Beach

• October 19th, 2022 •

Little Miss A was such a joy to have in the studio! She gave me so many adorable little faces and slept like a rock star. I loved getting to meet her, I have photographed her mom in the past and I love getting to capture her new family!

Star Wars Baby | Newborn Portraits Hampton Roads

Welcome little Wren! We had such a fun time celebrating the birth of little Wren and incorporating some Star Wars theme into her newborn session! Her furry big brother joined in on the fun and was so protective and cooperative.

Baseball with Dad | Photography Virginia Beach

• October 2nd, 2022 •

One of my favorite things about my job is getting to stay connected with families and clients. It makes my job seem less like a job and more like connecting with old friends!

I photographed this little guy while he was still in momma’s belly so getting to photograph him now, as a little baseball player, is so much fun. I did his new sisters newborn portraits, but before them we took some time to photograph him and his dad (and coach,) in his baseball uniform!

Such a fun little session and I loved creating some amazing portraits for his family to remember his first years in the sport- who knows maybe the will be pitching in the majors one day!!!

What a Treasure | Newborn Portraits Virginia Beach

• October 1st, 2022 •

Welcome Little Treasure! I loved getting to photograph this little beauty who has the most true name ever- what a little treasure she was! She did so good during her session. And I am SO GLAD mom brought her big brothers to the session. She almost didn’t as the thought of wrangling two ACTIVE 3 years old when her newborn is less than 2 weeks old was too overwhelming for her. But I convinced her to let me try. My studio is equipped with a big play area for kids and even has an area for watching movies. So she brought the while family and we were able to create some amazing family and sibling portraits too!

Welcome Baby G | Newborn Portraits Hampton Roads

• October 1st, 2022 •

Oh my goodness did Little G rock his newborn session. Such a cutie! And Daddy is a Newport News Police Officer, so capturing little G with his Dad’s uniform was so adorable! Thanks Dad for your service to our community!

Beach portraits | Maternity Virginia Beach

• September 5th, 2022 •

Lenae is so beautiful and glowing! We had so much fun at First Landing State Park for Marcus and Lenae’s maternity portraits.

Glow Momma Glow! | Maternity Portraits Virginia Beach

• September 3rd, 2021 •

I was so excited to photograph Malorie and Xavior. I have known Malorie for years and was SO EXCITED to find out she was pregnant. But she had recently moved across the country so I didn’t think I’d be able to photograph her maternity portraits. But… on a trip home for her baby shower we were able to fit in her session.

She was GLOWING for her session at First Landing State Park. It was HOT but the love between them and the gorgeous Virginia Beach weather helped me to create these amazing portraits. It was almost impossible to narrow down to our favorites from heir session!

I cannot wait to meet her little one in November when she comes back to visit. Stay tuned for more portraits then!

DSP Candids of the Week! | Candids

• March 10th, 2021 •

Portraits are supposed to be fun! Posing and staging is only half of it! Personally, Candids are my favorite! One of my favorite things about Devon is her ability to make any session fun. It doesn’t matter if it’s a tantrum, nervous mom getting her first boudoir shoot since kiddos, a Dad that “really hates getting his picture taken” or that senior that is only doing portraits to appease Mom and Dad… It’s a fun experience here at DSP!

Here are some of our favorite candids that we absolutely love!

“I love my baby brother!!!!… Sooooooooo much!”

“Don’t mind me… just struttin’ my stuff with the newest fad… Wear necklaces around our teeth!”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEAUTIFUL MATTHEWS SISTERS!!!

“Nothing like a cold ocean touching your toes to make you run like the wind!”

Keep checking back for more candids on the blog!
