Authentic backyard family fall portraits at Blackwater Place, VA

All the best Fall colors can be found here in the Thomas family shoot along with a touch of fog that rolled in on us last minute. We still had fun frolicking in the field and taste testing some grass ;)

Brock Center Engagement session & Botanical Gardens Elopement.

An intimate elopement at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens & Engagement session at The Brock Environmental Center

When life is full force, sometimes there is limited time to plan a wedding.

When I met Paige she was in the middle of studying for her boards to become a PA.We met one blustery evening at the Brock environmental center to photograph their engagements. Paige was dressed in a gorgeous Emerald green gown looking flawless as well as her future groom in his navy suite. The colors were so complimentary.

A busy schedule including school, work and a clinical rotation helped the couple realize that the path of elopement was perfect for them. Paige and Andrew decided to go straight to JOP and celebrated by doing their wedding portraits at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens ending it with a night of pizza with family, not to mention that girl found out she passed her boards that day! Ending to a perfect wedding day!

Christmas maternity shoot : Ashley and Joe

A Virginia Beach Winter Maternity session in rural Virginia

Ashley and Joe are expecting their first sweet baby girl in February, Miss Olivia. What better way to capture this adorable little bump than in a pink dress with a pink and purple sky. Ashley had an adorable idea to incorporate a little Christmas Cheer by adding a red scarf as a bow to her belly. I had so much fun chasing the sunset with these three and in the blink of an eye I know we will be welcoming Miss Olivia in no time! I cant wait to see if she ends up having her gorgeous mommas eyes!!!
