Norfolk Lifestyle Family Session | Hampton Roads Family Photographer | The Andersons

It's hard to write about a session that is so near and dear to my heart. Chelsea (of Chelsea Anderson Photography) is one of my best friends in the area. We've known each other since college, although we should've met in high school since we lived in the same city! When I found out a few years ago that she was moving from Northern Virginia to Norfolk, I was overjoyed...I never knew what our friendship would become.

I could say (and have said) so many things about how amazing Chelsea is, and how near and dear she and Scott are to me and Nathan. We have laughed together, cried together, supported, encouraged, cheered each other on, and not let the fact that we are photographers in the same city change our relationship one iota...

Miles and Sarah have been such good friends to us for such a long time. Nathan and Miles' friendship goes back all the way to elementary school, so it was natural for us to spend time with them when I moved into the area. Sarah is a sweetheart, and an amazing hostess - she throws the best parties, and I look forward to them every year!

I was absolutely overjoyed when Sarah and Miles told us they were expecting little Elizabeth (though we didn't know who she was at the time). Time flew by, and a few weeks ago she came into the world, beautiful and dainty, stealing the hearts of her mommy and daddy, and everyone else around.

I had the privilege of spending time with little Elizabeth in the hospital, and again in their home when she was only a few weeks old. Newborn lifestyle sessions aren't something I do often, but seeing Miles and Sarah, the way they look at Elizabeth, and the way they look at each other, just melted my heart. I'm so proud to be a friend to both of them, and I'm officially claiming the title of 'honorary aunt' to Elizabeth. She is beautiful, and I can't wait to get to know her as she grows.
