Newport News Maternity Session | Brandon + Chelsea

Newport News Maternity Session | Brandon + Chelsea

When it rains it pours and in our family's case, when one baby comes then a whole lot more come with it! Willow is lucky enough to have a cousin born both 5 and 10 days after she was, with another one due just a few months later! Nathan was a groomsman in Brandon and Chelsea's wedding just a few years ago, so seeing them as expectant parents brings the whole story full circle in a beautiful way.

The thing I love most about Brandon and Chelsea is seeing clearly their love for each other during this season. I have learned how important teamwork is when raising a child, especially through the difficult nights in the first few months, and these two are already each other's biggest support...

Best of 2015: Engagement + Couples | Business

This year was wonderful for so many reasons. As I reflect back on all that happened both personally and professionally, I can't help but get excited about the year ahead. What I love most about being a photographer is the richness it adds to my life - getting to meet so many people who never would have otherwise been in my life is a joy and an honor. This year I got to travel everywhere from Washington, DC, and Philadelphia to all over my own backyard in Hampton Roads.

Below are some of my favorites this year, from engagement sessions to anniversary sessions where I got to spend time with couples celebrating love that started not too long ago and love that has lasted for decades. To each couple who made their way into my life this year: thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Top 10 Best Places in Hampton Roads for Family & Couple Portraits // Business

I hope this blog post is helpful to anyone looking to take family pictures, anniversary portraits, or 'just because' pictures! I will clarify that these are MY top ten places (so far), and I know there are a whole lot more out there that are beautiful! I'll list a few more at the bottom that I know of, but these are definitely my favorite.

Sometimes the biggest hurdle when booking a session is deciding WHERE to take your pictures! It's hard to decide what places are the best for your family, while still being great for lighting and photography. At the same time, you don't want to just go to all the same places you've been to before.

I'm sure I'll update and expand this list as I go, but for now I'm limiting it to the ten best places I've found for pictures (in no particular order) - and examples from each! Hopefully this will be helpful to you as you decide where to go! And if you would love to book a session at one of these or another Hampton Roads location, click here to contact me!
