Another beautiful maternity session coming to you from Midlothian!! This is a new location for me and it happens to be right down the street! I can walk to this park in less than 3 minutes. My family and I often walk here to fly airplanes, remote control bats, shoot off nerf rockets and other cool toys that require a lot of open space. I never really thought to have a photo shoot here!
Read MoreI love everything about my job and am always asked what is my favorite type of photography and honestly that's really difficult for me to answer. Every session is so different from families to weddings, newborns to maternity. There is so much I love about all of them, but if I was forced to make a decision I think I would have to say maternity photography may be my favorite! When you're pregnant it feels like you will be carrying that baby forever (that's how I felt anyway) and that your body will never be your own again. After your last baby is born though and starts to grow older you realize what a short time 9 months really is.
Read MoreIt's hard to believe that I am entering my 4th year in the photography business. It all began with a passion, lots of encouragement and a big dream. So many people supported and believed in me, so I mustered up the courage and headed to the circuit courts, filed for a business license, got a website and boom, I was an official business. That's all it took, easy right? I wish it were that simple and easy, but I'll save that journey for another blog post.
Read MoreCold, rain and now wind!?! This has been one crazy spring in the great RVA which makes outdoor photography a little tricky, but nothing I can't handle! The day of Kyle's maternity session was beautiful. No rain, not too hot, not too cold, one might say it would have been the perfect day for a maternity session if it wasn't for the darn wind! Holy Cow, it was blowing pretty fierce and being along the reservoir made it that much worse!
Read MoreIt's been seven years since my family and I relocated to the Richmond VA area and in that time I have discovered so many beautiful parks through photography. It was only two years ago though that I realized I didn't have to travel very far because only 5 minutes from my home was this little hidden gem known as Mid-Lothian Mines Park.
Read MoreIt was a perfect evening for this outdoor maternity session right outside of Richmond Virginia. I was fortunate to get to spend this beautiful night with a wonderful and loving family while they prepare to welcome the newest addition to the family who scheduled to arrive on May 8, 2015. I cannot wait to meet and photograph him or her!
Read MoreWant to kick the winter blues? How about a snowy white maternity session in Richmond Va with a funny, outgoing and radiant soon- to-be mama of two? It was Monday night and I was lying like a slug on the couch mentally preparing myself for the "huge" snow storm that would surely be bringing at least 5 inches of snow shutting down schools for the entire week. That's when I came across a post, in one of the many photography pages I follow, asking if anyone wanted to play in the snow with a 35 week pregnant lady whom you've never met. Um, yes please! What? This doesn't sound like a smashing good time to you? Stay with me here, by the end of this blog post you will be seeing things my way. I promise.
Read MoreSo happy to share this maternity session with you all! I love maternity shoots because as I've mentioned before there's nothing more beautiful than an expecting mother! I can say that now that I'm not pregnant, but when I was I probably would have popped someone in the nose for saying that to me! Kristin is no exception! I am excited not only because it's a maternity session but also because Kristin is my neighbor. When she asked me to take a few maternity pictures of her and her adorable daughter Courtney I was more than willing, on one condition, she let me test out my new vintage couch before using it to photograph a 6-month-old baby!

What do I love photographing as much as a wedding? New parents to be! I love photographing weddings because it is one of the happiest days of your life and being around happy people makes me happy! Expecting your first child though takes you to an all new level of happiness and excitement and I LOVE being apart of it!
