I have the loveliest beach elopement session to share with you today! Rahee & Kyosik wanted some beautiful, romantic images to celebrate their marriage. For the best variety in their final album, we decided to split their session package between two locations. We ended up scheduling a mini beach session, plus another full hour at Norfolk Botanical Garden. Today, I’m sharing a few shots from our romantic sunset beach shoot.
While they claimed to be a bit nervous about being in front the camera, they were in fact, absolute naturals. It’s hard to fake true love, and their connection and ease with one another, is what shines through in all of their images.
They let me know ahead of our session that they were totally game for getting wet! So we headed into the waves toward the end of our shoot.
I love these fun, carefree shots we grabbed at sunset!
Thank you Rahee & Kyosik for an amazing session! It was truly a pleasure to get to know you both. - XOXO, Melissa

Family Lifestyle Photo Session - First Landing State Park, Virginia Beach
Family Lifestyle Photo Session - First Landing State Park, Virginia Beach
The temps are finally cooling and it is feeling more like fall around here! I’m feeling super excited for all the fun sessions and weddings I have scheduled this season.
Today I have a lovely fall family lifestyle session to share with you. I met the Chartier family at First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach to capture some fun fall memories for them.
Their little one was turning one, so we took some time to document that first year sweetness.
Isn’t she adorable?! Have I mentioned lately that “toddler “ is my favorite stage of human? They are just so curious and full of personality!
We explored the park trails for a bit, and then paused for a quick wardrobe change before capturing some first year portraits of Little Miss.
What a perfect model she was! :)
Finally, we hit the beach to take full advantage of the soft sunset light. Mom and Dad brought a few props to incorporate into their portraits, and I think it all came together beautifully!
Thank you, Chartier family, for trusting me with your family memories. It was a joy to visit with you! Come back and see me again soon! - XOXO, Melissa

While I still have several beach sessions to share, I am soooo excited that fall is here! I adore that golden fall light, and the amazing color display that Mother Nature puts on every year! Plus, apple pie a la mode.
And getting to photograph beautiful families and couples snuggled up together against the chill, well that just can’t be beat!
I met the adorable Thomas family for a lifestyle session at First Landing State Park at sunset. The golden light, and those sweet little faces just make me all kinds of happy!
We had a fun time exploring the park trails, and making family memories, as their cuties discovered new treasures along the shoreline.
I love that this park has so much to offer. It’s perfect for families, seniors, and engagement sessions. First Landing does require a permit and fee to shoot on site, but it’s worth every penny in my opinion. It is one of my favorite spots for sure, especially in the fall!
I had such a great time with this charming family - thank you Thomases!! I hope to see you all again soon. :) - XOXO, Melissa

A few years ago, I had the honor of photographing a gorgeous beach wedding for two of the most beautiful souls I have ever met. Marlaina and Shean were a joy to work with from the moment we met to discuss their engagement session.
So, naturally, when they contacted me to let me know they were pregnant, I was over the moon for them! It was such a special treat to meet their beautiful baby girl, and to document these first sweet moments for them as a family.
Meara - don’t you just love her name?? - is every bit as perfect as I knew she’d be. She is a delightful little beauty. And she is loved beyond measure.
Of course, her older (slightly furrier) sibling was keeping a careful watch over the newest family addition.
Those sweet little hands and feet, and that fuzzy baby hair…I just couldn’t get enough!
Our session concluded with a serenade from Dad, which sent Little Miss M. off into sweet slumber, and then a quick tour of the nursery. I love the charming details of this mermaid girl’s room decor. Mom and Dad did a great job of making a unique space for her!
It was truly a joy to spend time with this sweet family! I was grateful to be able to capture all that lovely newborn newness for them. Congrats Flynn family! Much love always!! - XOXO, Melissa

Today I’m sharing a stunning urban engagement session with you! Kamauria and Isaiah met in Chicago, and they wanted to shoot their engagement photos in a downtown setting reminiscent of their early dating days.
Admittedly, Norfolk is quite a bit smaller than Chicago, but there are some lively downtown areas, and some interesting architectural features that make for beautiful urban backdrops.
Plus, these two are so adorable and undeniably in love, that photographing them is a dream! I had the best time getting to know them as we explored the city.
Their fun-loving, carefree spirits really come through in their images!
Plus they are absolutely gorgeous, inside and out!
They are planning an amazing wedding in North Carolina, and will have friends and family come to celebrate from all across the U.S.! I know they will be make a stunning bride & groom.
Thank you Kamauria and Isaiah, for choosing me to photograph your engagement session. It was truly an honor and a pleasure to be part of your love story. Best wishes!! - XOXOX, Melissa

Yikes, I can hardly believe it has been almost a month since I’ve posted here! This summer has been hectic with lots of family sessions, weddings, engagements & elopements…and also carting my 4 kids all over hampton roads to camps, parties and activities as well. Summer just seems to be slipping away! I have posted peeks on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, but have sadly neglected the blogging.
Well, it’s high time that I fixed that, so today I’m sharing some favorites from several lifestyle family beach sessions I shot this summer in Virginia Beach.
From the southern tip of Sandbridge to the north end of bay area, I have met many beautiful families to capture some fun beach vacation photos. I have to say that it is pretty great to be able to enjoy so many beach sunsets as I’m working my way through the summer!
I have met lots of new families this summer, and have also been fortunate to visit with some old familiar friends.
Just like the families themselves, each session is unique! I love getting to know each family, so that I can capture the moments that are authentic to their stories.
That’s it for today! I have plenty more to share, but my editing que is calling. One of these days I’ll learn to be a better juggler, perhaps. Tell me, how has your summer been? Relaxed and easy livin’, or packed full to the brim? I’d love to hear about it in the comments. - XOXOX, Melissa
