First Landing State park is so beautiful and I love photographing portraits there!!
Lenae is so beautiful and glowing! We had so much fun at First Landing State Park for Marcus and Lenae’s maternity portraits.
Zoe is such a beautiful momma-to-be! And this little one is a rainbow baby and a blessing that has been prayed for for years! Ive known Zoe for years and got to meet her husband Chris for this shoot. They were SO much fun to have in the studio and we laughed a lot! I love the way their portraits turned out and especially loved the addition of a snake! My first snake maternity portraits!!!
One of my very favorite things to photograph is couples that have been married for decades. So often we forget to truly appreciate and cherish the love in a marriage when kids, school, careers, sports, activities, bills, church and EVERYTHING else that comes with running and family and a household, comes FIRST. We forget that two people started it all, two people who fell in love are the foundation of it all. Too often we forget where it all began and truly celebrate each other and the love they share.
My Treasured Love Sessions are such an important part of my business. They bring me so much joy and hope! These session celebrate the couple and their journey through life, love, commitment and sacrifice.
I was SO honored to photograph Joe and Faye. They met in FIRST GRADE! They have so many decades of memories, from coloring and recess, to sock hops and cotillions, from football and cheerleading to building a family, to retirement and grandkids. It was such a blessing to “walk down memory lane” with them as they shared so many of these special moments with me and reminisced on a life well loved.
We even photographed Faye in her wedding gown… that still fit!!!! She looks as beautiful now as I am sure she did then, and her grooms eyes are still focused on her!
During our session planning, I had them each answer a few questions without the help of knowledge of the other. I used their answers to “write” them a letter from one to the other. It was such a special moments as they read their letters to each other and then danced to their favorite song.
Enjoy this little walk down memory lane with us as we celebrate the love between Joe and Faye!
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!
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!
