Lifestyle Photo Sessions, Hampton Roads Photographer

Spring is here!  Believe it or not, spring has officially graced the calendar and it won't be long before Mother Nature wakes up too.  I know it feels like we are stuck in a perpetual limbo between the cold, gray winter and the soggy chill of early spring. But, without a doubt, the weather will soon be warming and the blossoms will soon unfold in the glorious golden sun. Now is the time to reserve an appointment for a lifestyle photo session at your favorite Hampton Roads location!

Get in touch and I'll help you plan the perfect session to suit your personality and lifestyle. Whether that's enjoying a sunset on the beach, wandering through the woods, sipping java at your favorite urban cafe, or even whipping up a batch of delicious chocolate chip cookies at home with the kids - your session should reflect who YOU are and how you best relate to those you love.

Beach Sunset Family Mini Session - Virginia Beach Photographer

Beach Sunset Family Mini Session - Virginia Beach Photographer

This sweet little family recently moved to Virginia Beach after relocating all the way from California. I met the Tozzi family at Chick's Beach for a sunset beach mini session. It was time for some updated portraits, and their littlest peanut was celebrating her first birthday too!

It didn't take long for me to fall in love with their sweet girls! They were absolutely charming. Mom and Dad's down-to-earth, laid back manner also won my heart. We simply played and explored the bay shore, while Mother Nature graced us with the most gorgeous sunset.

The evening was just about perfect, I tell ya! I mean that golden light, those long shadows and the rolling clouds...pretty much a recipe for perfection if you ask me. Especially when you throw in this awesome family crew!

Before I knew it, the sun was slipping down past the horizon. But oh! what a spectacular end to the day!! (I just had to capture it in both black and white and color.)

Norfolk Family Photographer - Holiday Mini Sessions

Norfolk Family Photographer - Holiday Mini Sessions

So many families! So many sneak peeks! I am working like crazy to keep up, and have a back log of sessions to share. I thought I'd combine a few peeks into one post to share some recent work with you. The fall color has finally peaked and we have had some beautiful sunny days. There are so many great locations in Hampton Roads for woodsy outdoor sessions too. Recently I have been to the Mariner's Museum Park, Oak Grove Lake Park, Great Neck Park, and First Landing State Park - all gorgeous this time of year!

Documenting the love and connection between families big and small, whether they are new faces and familiar friends, always warms my heart. I am SO thankful to have the opportunity to photograph so many beautiful souls. Six years ago I started out with a camera and a dream, and this journey has inspired me to grow and change in ways I could never have imagined. I will always be grateful for the many wonderful clients who have supported me along the way.
