Lifestyle Family Beach Session, Virginia Beach, VA
Lifestyle Family Beach Session, Virginia Beach, VA
Beach season is back! I know it’s still a little chilly for a swim, but the temps are warming and the beach is beautiful!
Every summer there are families that I really look forward to photographing, and the Brumfields are definitely one of those.
I’ve shot for them for 3 years now, and every session is such a blast! They love to have a documentary feel to their images, which I adore. It allows me to get some of the most creative shots for their family.
They are big time beach lovers, and have the cutest, most active, young kiddos. They sure keep me running from start to finish, but they keep me giggling too!
I love that mom and dad let their kids just be themselves, which means they have tons of fun, and their personalities shine.
I also love that their grandparents are included in each session, and that they are game for full on beach shenanigans too!
I mean, what better summer family memories could a kid have than frolicking freely on the beach with their entire family crew of several generations?!
These memories they will carry with them for a lifetime. They are memories that will help to keep them rooted in that family togetherness and acceptance.
Clearly they felt safe, and loved, and happy!
It truly is an honor to be able to do what I do. And when it’s this much fun, it is an absolute joy too!
Thank you, Brumfield family, for entrusting me with your amazing summer vacation memories! I can’t wait to see you again next time! - XOXO, Melissa
Let's make a date to document those little moments with big heart for your family!

It has been another busy week full of sessions, and I have lots of fun-filled sneak peeks to share! From Williamsburg, to Smithfield, to Virginia Beach, I have traveled all around town to capture some sweet moments with these beautiful families.
Some of my favorite families have come back to see me again this year, and that always fills my heart with joy! I love watching them grow, and helping to fill their walls and albums with lovely memories.
Check out these twinsies on the beach! Doubly adorable!! Big brother and I have been best buds since he was their age. Love this family. <3
Making new friends is a treat too, especially when they are as laid back and hilarious as this crew!
This summer is sure shaping up to be packed full of fantastic memories. :) Lots more to come soon! - XOXO, Melissa

Spring time in Hampton Roads is so gorgeous! Don't you just love it when the greens start to pop and the blooms emerge from the craggy bare limbs of the trees? Okay, so the blanket of yellow pollen, that's not so enjoyable, but the temperatures, the lack of mosquitos, the colorful blossoms - those are pretty fantastic!
I recently had the pleasure of spending an afternoon in Colonial Williamsburg photographing the Nilan family. It was a gorgeous mild evening and the historic town was pretty quiet. It was the perfect setting for our family photo session. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this lovely extended family and their two beautiful grand babies.
Of course when Grandma wants just one photo of everyone smiling together, this usually happens.
Thankfully I've learned a few tricks over the years and we made it work despite the protests from the peanut gallery.
And I can't even begin to describe how much I LOVE this series. Toddler struggles. Priceless.
And those little quirks and details that are so endearing but seem to fade with each passing day - my absolute favorite to capture.
Thank you Nilan family for a fantastic session! It was a joy to meet you all.
Your support of this small business is greatly appreciated! If you enjoyed this post please share it.

I get to meet so many amazing families at portrait sessions and I always enjoy getting to know them. The big crew came from far and wide (including Australia and Canada) to spend a family vacation at Sandbridge Beach in Virginia Beach. They wanted some beautiful beach portraits to celebrate their time together. We spent a warm, breezy evening making fun memories on the beach and capturing their family connections. Here is a peek at their extended family portrait session on Sandbridge beach.
