Predeployment R Family {Virginia Hampton Roads Oplove Photographer}

Many of you know that I am a member of a wonderful group called Operation: Love Reunited.  This organization is very dear to my heart as I know, understand and feel what each and every one of these people are going through.  The military (and my husband) has done so much for our country that giving back some more on my behalf is what I don't mind doing for any military family.

The R family is about to go through their first deployment. Even though L has been in the military for 8 years, he has been one of the lucky ones not to be deployed.  We met at downtown Williamsburg for their shoot.  Little A wasn't into pictures as much as we would have liked, but you can't expect anything less with a 2 year old. She wanted to see the horses, so we saw horses, birds, more horses, squirrels and more horses.  :) Thank you M for contacting me through oplove to be your photographer. And L be safe! See you soon! Thank you for what you do for our country! (enjoy your sneak)

If you are interested in having an oplove session done or would like more information on what Operation: Love Reunited is, please go HERE and fill out the form.  Thank you to all the men and woman who sacrifice everything for our country.

Little S {Virginia Children Portraits Photographer}

Little S was photographers choice on the Newborn-Two Year Old Modeling Contest that was held.  He was so cute in the photo that i couldn't not pick him. When we met at the Exmore Park, he was just as adorable! Even though Little S didn't like my camera too much we got some great ones of him playing on the trains and swings and we even squeezed one in with daddy.  Thank you A for allowing me to photograph your beautiful son. Enjoy your sneak!

And my favorite of the day~

L Family {Virginia Family Photographer}

I met the L family at Cape Charles Beach a few Sundays ago.  Seeing two little blonde head boys coming out of the car made me know that I was going to have a lot of fun with this family! Not having boys in my family (i have two girls) I was excited to see them, probably more than they know.  I secretly would love to have a boy but right now I will play with anyone elses boys anyday :)  This family is so sweet. AND they are expecting a little girl in a few months. Thank you L and M for allowing me to photograph your beautiful family. I hope to get to photograph your little girl when she comes as well! Enjoy your sneak peak!!

Since mom is having a baby soon we decided to do a few maternity photos in the mix~ i LOVE this one of older brother looking up at mom.. so sweet~

P Family {Virginia Family Photographer}

I have known D for some time now. We went to highschool together and now she has a beautiful family! Baby J is no exception to beautiful- just look at him with those big blue eyes and  baby gap model material! I absolutely love babies at this age because one ~they can't move, two ~they have the CUTEST expressions and three~ you can just cuddle them all day long. 

The P Family and I met close to Silver Beach on the Eastern Shore for some photos. After stopping for some small breaks we had a great time. This family is not just beautiful on the outside, they are beautiful in the inside and they have been through alot this past year. I am just so happy to know them. Thank you D & T for allowing me to photograph your family! Enjoy your sneak peak!

Baby RC {Virginia Childrens Photographer}

People are always asking me where I get my cute props. Well this post will get you a few ideas on shops that I work with. Remember when I had the child modeling contest?  Baby RC won my girls modeling contest.  We finally got together for some photos.  Baby RC wasn't into having her picture taken that day, but we still got some really cute ones.  Every headband she is modeling are from my favorite vendors.  Please take the time to visit their site and look around. You won't be sorry!

Baby RC's mom had a outfit for every headband I had in my box! Thank you K for allowing me to photograph your adorable little girl. You will see more of her :)
