Sawyer is one and expecting a new sister: Kingsmill Resort, Williamsburg Va

This one year session is so dear to my heart!! I cannot help but get emotional thinking about Sawyer turning one! 

This time last year I was heading up to Williamsburg, a day shy from being 37weeks pregnant, to document Sawyers newborn session.His session is one that I will always remember.

I drug my sister up there with me because I was so worried about going into labor alone on the interstate. Driving up there I felt some crazy pains in my stomach but they disappeared as the evening went on.

I remember arriving and meeting this perfect little baby and thinking how I would have one of my ownin just a few short weeks. The session went great, Sawyer was amazing and Morgan and I packed up to head home. We stopped and got a spicy chicken sandwich from good ole chick fil a. 

I was so motivated when I came home that I was determined to finish his newborn session so I could start my nesting phase. Well the moment I emailed off that gallery to Stephanie I tucked myself in bed. It felt like 5 seconds later (really an hour had probably gone by). My water broke... and off to the hospital we went to bring our baby girl into the world. My good friend warned me to always shower from here on out, and stay away from Chick fil a's spicy chicken sandwich. Well she was so right... Thanks Somer.

I remember chatting with Stephanie after her response email and telling her how I was in the hospital. I absolutely love that girl. She and Tom both got married at Kingsmill so we all had that connection, I met them while assisting at their wedding and I am so glad I have been able to keep in touch with them. 

Now even more exciting news for the Sawyer  family. We photographed this session on their Wedding anniversary, at Kingsmill and celebrated  Sawyer hittingthe big ONE. BUT the best news is that he will be a big brother to a  sweet baby sister this winter!!! I am so beyond excited for them!!!

Cheers to all the pink pineapple decor ;) 

Coral Ray's Swan First Birthday: Norfolk VA

What better way to celebrate the big ONE with a Swan theme. Kristen and I decided to keep it light and airy for Corals photos... Lets just say she was not a happy camper when she was eating her cupcake but had no problem crumbling it! Sweet big sis Gemma was such a big helper it was adorable! How are my babies growing up so fast!!! 

The Cross Family: Flyway Lodge Knotts Island NC

We spent a pretty Saturday Morning at one of North Carolina's newest wedding venues, The Flyway Lodge. It literally has the best view out onto the water, a gorgeous rustic barn, a tree lined driveway and plenty of greenery. Special thanks to Allison for letting us come play at the Lodge! Also folks if you are looking for a great Airbnb, then you should stay at the Flyway!

Every year I get together with the Cross Family and update Lucas's dump truck picture. Soon enough that tall little guy will need a real size dump truck. He can still wiggle his little bottom in that one for now though! 

Valentines Day Lifestyle shoot: The Tenney Family

One of the most adorable families is here with their lifestyle family shoot with a mix of Valentines day sweetness. These four are so much fun... there is never a dull moment when Tatum is around giving Easton check ups, playing with her "witch book" or singing Adele at the top of her lungs (and recruiting me to be her potty partner). Easton is such a cool little man with those electric blue eyes. (watch out ladies Audrey has dibs on this handsome boy too). Love yall to pieces!

Where the wild thing are: Vincents first Birthday

I just want to take a minute to give a shout out to Vincent's Momma, Chelsea for designing and creating the most magical first birthday party I have EVER witnessed. I first met Vincent at his newborn session, when he was the teeniest little guy (where we might have shoved him in a bucket of golf balls haha). Now he definitely wont fit in that bucket but he sure is crawling around and cheesing away!

His birthday party theme (If you could not guess from the photo above) is "Where the wild things are." Crowns and amazing backdrops filled the room along with a custom leaf wall that Chelsea sewed together. Food was served on wooden chargers and Vincent's grandmother created his boat (on her own!).

The details were perfection for a perfect little boy!  Happy birthday Vincent!!
