black & whites | Virginia Beach Children's Photographer

Here's some black and whites from a recent newborn session. Sometimes I love the simplicity that black and whites offer...








And I know this one isn't black and white, but wanted to share it anyways. There is something that I love about it.

Isn't that every man's dream to fish in their undies? :)

Maternity Sneak Peak: Rain Baby | Virginia Beach Maternity Photographer

I had an idea in my head for this shoot and I'm sure it would have happened had I not brought my "afraid to let go of my pant leg" toddler with me who I think scared little A into not wanting her picture taken. So, lesson learned and we are going to try again this weekend. Lukily for me these are very good friends of ours and I can bug Sarah anytime I want to work on my photography skills :) I did manage to get a few, so here's a sneak peak for her!

Baby M. | Virginia Beach Children's Photographer

I had such a wonderful time chatting with this beautiful little girl's mom. We think Baby M. just wasn't feeling too well today and wasn't in the mood to make her portrait debut. Sometimes that happens and I've learned to be very patient and flexible with newborns. But, she has the cutest nursery and I can't wait to go back for a reshoot next week to capture some lifestyle portraits of her!

Sneak Peak: Baby H | Virginia Beach Children's Photographer

Meeting Baby H. today made realize what a large toddler I have. :) I really could have stayed there all day photographing her. What a gorgeous, tiny little girl she is. Thank you for letting me into your home today to capture such a precious time in her life!

And I have to give a big blog shout out to Simply ME by Mandy Enete whose talented work I'm going to be featuring! I felt like a kid in a candy store with all the gorgeous samples she provided to me. Mandy is another rockin' military wife and mom who is following her passion and starting her own handmade business! Check back on her site for updates when she rolls out her summer line!

Dancer

I'm starting to play catch up with my images from California. This is Miss M. She is applying for an advanced dance program and needed some headshots to go with her application. My focus on her was her incredible brown eyes. I tried to capture the beautiful golden light in her eyes with every pose that I put her through.

Girlie Girl | Virginia Beach Family Photographer

While I was out in California I was able to stop by and say hi to a friend of mine, Dominique of D. Long Photography. Her work has absolutely blossomed into this incredibly unique style and I love watching her grow as an artist. Her daughter is the reason I would love a girl. She has this infectious laugh. Her little tongue curls out, her eyes squeeze shut and she has the girliest giggle you can imagine.
