Satterthwaite Baby Bump:: Virginia Beach VA

September 26, 2016 Skylar Charman

Time is ticking and less than one month before this little lady arrives! She is definitely going to change their world forever but in such a good way. When Dan and Resa told us they were expecting I was so excited... mainly in a selfish way because ya see Dan and my husband grew up together. They have a photo of themselves napping next to each other with their cute little diaper butts in the air. (I cant wait to recreate that photo btw)

All I could think of was thank heavens my little girl has someone to grow up with out here... just like their daddies did. It is even more perfect because they are expecting a little girl too! I'm sure we will be dealing with a ton of Sass with the two of them combined but I cant wait to have another couple join us in the parenting department! Cheers to all these Blackwater babies!!

And if I have any parenting advice with my first month and a half of being mom I would say just hang in there. Especially when she is throwing a fit for 3 hours straight or you feel disgusting because you smell like sour milk all day long... just wait until you have that moment when she locks eyes with yours and gives you her first real smile because she recognizes you (and not because she tinkled or had gas). It'll is literally the best feeling when she does <3

Haddie Jude: Newborn session

September 21, 2016 Skylar Charman

Welcome to the world sweet Haddie Jude!! We are so excited one of our little baby bump buddies has made her debut (actually all of them have now). I absolutely love these little kids. It is crazy to see how mature her big brother looks next to her. After all Hudson was probably the first original baby I have EVER photographed. I cant believe it!!

To watch him with Haddie is just the absolute sweetest thing. When I finished these photos I texted Mandy to warn her that she may cry because how could you not when you see your babies lovin on eachother! It is too darn sweet. Cant wait for our next play date <3

A whimsical floral maternity session: Moore Maternity Bump

September 6, 2016 Skylar Charman

Lets just say that this DIY momma never disappoints! Brittany created her very own flower swing to help create a whimsical boho floral maternity session vibe. Luckily one of our family friends has the most amazing yard for this kind of look. We met early in the morning to play with the summer sun rays. It is amazing how that morning light is so much different than sunset light. Its more bright and cheery with a perfect glow! Little Scarlette danced around showing me her dance moves and loved on her mommy and daddy and baby sis. She has the sweetest little grin ever. Now we wait for the arrival of her sweet little sister Sutton!

Mommy and me garden session: Nia & Kalpa

August 30, 2016 Skylar Charman

This is our second annual Mommy and me session with these two ladies. Last time miss Nia wasnt quite running around but this time she kept me on my toes. Her love for flowers and bubbles and books are so sweet. We had a humid hot day but that didnt stop her from exploring all over. She is definitely one of the sweetest souls I have worked with!!

A Gold, mint and blush romantic Portsmouth Womans Club Wedding: Jessica & Aaron

August 15, 2016 Skylar Charman

Jessica and Aaron first laid eyes on eachother at crossfit. After Aaron popped the question on the beach to Jessica (where he had her sisters remove her blindfold and the rest of their family surrounding them) the wedding planning began. These two planned the most gorgeous summer event with warm tones of Gold, mint and blushes. What better setting than the Woman's club of Portsmouth to exchange vows under the warm glow of those classic chandeliers?!

Now when you are engaged to a Police officer you can find super creative ways to decorate your dessert table. Jessica chose to decorate their cake table with colorful donuts of every flavor your sweet tooth can imagine. Amazingly Glazed outdid themselves with the donut bar. Fluttering flowers did not disappoint with their flowers and timeless centerpieces that consisted of gold elements with blush flowers, mint and pinks (check out the arch with the hanging carnations...STUNNING!).

When you see these two together you just instantly feel their love for one another. When they first caught a glimpse of one another walking down the aisle you could see the tears in their eyes.

After the ceremony and formal photos, DJ Barry Mckay helped the couple bust out on the dance floor with some killer moves, from twirls to jumps, they nailed it! Check out the moves Jessica's dad has? I could not leave out the matron of honor speech/song that Jessica's sisters knocked out of the park with their own lyrics written to the beat of the lion king song, and their epic dance... with a polite mic drop at the end haha!

There is nothing better than photographing a couple who truly loves each other. It was an honor to capture your big day! Cheers to many years of happiness Jessica & Aaron!!
