One of the best parts of my job is being able to see couples grow together. Kelly and Alex have been dear friends for quite some time. You many remember their Christmas themed pregnancy announcements from 2016. I was honored to capture them again!

Come on baby... we are ready for you!!

oh... my... GOODNESS!!! I am obsessed with those beautiful eyes and frosting covered cheeks. Emma was such a doll during her cake smash. She LOVES the frosting. Mom said her little feet smelled like frosting for days after.

Can't believe I have photographed this little love since 3 months old!

This winter weather has been insane! We have had  some great warm days and others that were freezing! Gordon really lucked out with the weather for his senior portraits. Gordon was a great model as we went around ODU and snapped pictures! His parents have been ODU season ticket holders for years, so photographing at ODU was very special.

Congratulations, Gordon!

These two love birds made by job a breeze! We braved the Norfolk cold to capture some shots before Derrick's deployment. The love they share is so evident in these photographs.

Chelsea will make a beautiful bride! Congratulations on your engagement!

Be still, my heart! Katie and I met 8-9 years ago...?! We instantly clicked and became room mates our freshman year of college. It has been so beautiful to go through these different seasons of life with each other. We have come a long way from eating cookie dough on the kitchen floor!!

I loved being able to capture some maternity shots of Katie while I was in Georgia. I love this little girl June so much too! She is the biggest blessing.

Congrats Momma!!

These two love birds were troopers! It was freezing, raining and foggy and they STILL rocked it! I am so happy for these two and the love that they share. It is so obvious that they put each other first.

I had a great time shooting them, and their 3 cats! They were naturals!

This family made my job easy! They suggested a gorgeous location and we had a blast shooting with their two dogs. I wish I could share/scan their Christmas card... STUNNING! Kirsten has been a dear friend of mine and I have photographed her for promotions. It was great to capture the family all together!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are ready to take on the New Year!

This wonderful family was a joy to work with! They loved to dance and make this sweet little girl smile. I can honestly say that they made my job easy! Sweet Ellie braved the cold and cheesed the camera. Even with the leaves down, the beach made a perfect backdrop.. love where you live!!

Happy Wednesday y'all!

This sweet little boy braved the cold to get some gorgeous photos taken. I loved meeting this family and capturing them! I admire how Mom carefully planned their outfits... perfectly coordinating!

It may be a rainy Monday, but these golden photos are sure to make you smile!

These two are our very best friends. It is so sad to think they will be leaving us for Florida in the next few months. I mean, even our dogs are BFFs! I begged Bernie to let me use them as models and I am so glad he agreed! I love that we got some pictures with Duke man.

I don't even want to think about this 'see ya later' quite yet!!

Happy Monday, y'all!!
