Valentine: Vicky&Bryan {Woodstock, Virginia Family Photographer}

I've had the pleasure of photographing this couple's children several times.  Each session mom runs around trying to get each child's attention, wipes their noses and makes them smile.  She's never taken the time to be in front of the camera.  I was delighted when she asked me to take the only formal photos of her and her husband.

Thank you V&B for allowing me to preserve this special time for you guys!

Full of Love {Woodstock, Virginia Maternity Photographer}

I had so much fun spending the evening with this couple.  They are expecting their first baby in a few weeks and I am beyond ecstatic for them.  I know they are going to be the best parents.  As much as we talked and laughed throughout (and by throughout I mean, when I look at the pictures, I can see "C" mouthing sentences. LOL) the entire session, I was surprised with the many great shots we actually got.

Thank you D&C for being such great sports today.  I can't wait to meet Baby K. <3

Rock the Shot Photo Challenge: Love {Woodstock, Virginia Child Photographer}

This month's theme for the Rock the Shot Photo Challenge is love.  When I saw what the theme was, I immediately remembered one photo.  The moment I captured this photo is a common one.  My husband's grandmother swaying a baby to sleep.   Granny is the most lovable person I know.  The way she holds her babies, rocks them, pats them and most of all, loves them.  Everyone around her feels her overflowing love for her family. 

When I look at this photo, I not only remember the day, but the many memories of Granny loving all three of my children.  Like Pooh said, it's the smallest things that take up the most room in our heart.  Granny's heart is full of love!

Baby Claire: 7 Weeks {Staunton, Virginia Newborn Photographer}

I would say that I am a bit partial when it comes to this sweet girl.  She is cute as a button, even if you're not lucky enough to be related to her!  I photographed her cousin, Regan a few months ago and they are equally happy, adorable babies.  What a wonderful addition to both families! 

Thank you M&D for allowing me to photograph your precious Claire!

Baby "A": 19 Days {Woodstock, Virginia Newborn Photographer}

This little miss spent her rainy morning in the studio, in tow were her glowing mommy and her doting Aunt C.  You can tell they are just smitten with their new bundle of joy, as anyone would be.  After having a run of boys I was happy to see a touch of pink in my photos today! :)

Congratulations J&A, she is gorgeous!

"O" Boy! {Woodstock, Virginia Baby Photographer}

I told you this year would be the year for boys, didn't I?  I was super excited to squeeze this darling boy into my schedule this week.  I couldn't believe how much he had grown since I met him a few weeks ago.  Such a handsome, lovable baby.  It's so obvious how madly in love his entire family is with him.  Congrats H&S, he is perfect!

Baby R: 11 Days + Family {Stephens City, Virginia Newborn Photographer}

I've been waiting on this session for the longest time!  To hear the excitement in "K"s voice after our first phone call, I could tell she has been too!  Her boys, on the other hand, weren't as excited about their photo session but decided to cooperate enough to get a few great shots for mom.

Below you will find proof that I do, in fact, have the CUTEST clients ever! ;) 

Congrats "D" Family, your boys couldn't be more adorable!!!

Baby "D"- 7 Weeks + Family {Richmond, Virginia Newborn & Family Photographer}

I couldn't wait to meet this family.  This handsome little guy was born on my wedding anniversary and our session was on my birthday.  That meant that it had to be an awesome session! :) 

I spent the late morning and early afternoon with this family and their super helpful nanny.  I always love leaving sessions like this feeling like I've made new friends.  I'm so fortunate to have the sweetest, most genuine clients. 



 Thank you Julie and Sean, you have an amazing family and the most adorable children.  I look forward to seeing you guys again!
