Cooper :Family shoot

I just love this little mans big brown eyes! He is one of the most handsome kids I have ever seen- I may be a bit biased since I have known his Momma for 19 years now... IDK how that is possible! During our shoot Cooper experienced what it was like to touch the ocean with his toes... lets just say we created a monster and that boy would not even look away from the crashing waves. His little jeans were soaking wet and the water was ice cold but that didn't stop him! I think we have a future beach bum on our hands. By far this is one of my favorite beach shoots to the date! He even did great holding his seaside sign... props to mom and dad for the fishy faces! Probably the cutest thing ever.

In honor of fathers day, a photo of Russell (aka props manager) juggling many chairs as he conquers dunes and sand. Haha happy Fathers day to you!

Allison + Stephen : Wedding

Once upon a vine there was a handsome groom and gorgeous bride that said I do! Welcome to Allison & Stephens Big day.

I have known Allison for as long as I can remember. I was so happy to be apart of her big day. I like to title her wedding as "Once upon a vine" thanks to a barrel we stumbled upon during her getting ready photos. Stephen proposed to her with a GORGEOUS Tiffany ring. That little blue box helped inspire some of her color choices for the wedding. It was a gorgeous day at New Kent Winery. Doug Moorcroft was their officiant and his face during their first kiss was priceless. Allison never took that smile off of her face and her groom was the best sport... especially when I asked him to hold the bouquet. I had such a good time with them! Thanks to my friend Tiffany for helping me out that whole weekend!

Location: New Kent Winery, Andrea Kent coordinator
Flowers: Farm fresh
Cake & cupcakes: Dream cake

Sarah & Josh : Wedding

 

When Sarah emailed me asking if I would shoot her wedding I felt honored. I have known this girl since we were in middle school. I would crush over her sweet yellow lab puppy, Bo all the time which helped motivate my decision to get my own lab :) She has a heart of gold and a million dollar smile. She is that friend that you don't see every day but when you are reunited it is like old times.

They tied the knot at the Gorgeous St Paul's Roman Catholic Church in Portsmouth and hopped in a gorgeous old Chevy. We swung by their family house, The Borum house, and snapped some photos. It is absolutely beautiful out there! They proceeded to the Presidents suite until the reception started at the Renaissance Hotel on the water. Such a beautiful evening. I am so happy for her and Josh on their new chapter. Congrats you two... now bring on the babies :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Casey & Jacob : Newlyweds

Casey and Jacob tied the knot a few months ago and with that came a move to NC. The move gave us some scheduling challenges. We had thrown around a few dates to photograph and it finally happened! We were blessed with a beautiful evening and some fun pictures! Enjoy their session!

Lainey : Newborn

Here is that beautiful little girl who was born on  St Patricks day. Miss Lainey modeled all of her adorable knitted outfits for me during her newborn shoot and was just as relaxed as can be. Even her big 4 legged sister joined in for the session. It really is fascinating how quickly newborns change appearance from birth to 7 days old. She is absolutely perfect!
