Stokes Family Sneak Peaks...


Love the size difference of the hands.

So peaceful, wouldn't have thought this was VA Beach.

Happy dad and upset daughter crack me up! She has the most beautiful blue eyes.

Thanks to my awesome friend Robin for this great referral. I had a wonderful time photographing the Stokes family! You guys cracked me up! I loved the Ft. Story location. We'll have to go back when she's taller for the lighthouse shot's. lol. I hope you enjoy your sneak peaks. I think we got a lot of great ones! I'll let you know when I'm done editing. Have a great day.

Hakim Family Sneak Peaks...

We were worried about the weather days before this session and it turned out to be such a beautiful day. Blue sky's, nice breeze and really bright! lol. Trying to count it off so they could open their eyes worked a little, we move around to try and get different angles so the sun wasn't their eyes as much. But, you can't had form the sun, my reflector, or flash as Chris found out. lol. We moved locations to First Landing State Park for some shade to get a couple more photographs. All in all we had some fun, lot's of laughs and awesome photos. Hope you all enjoy the sneak peak, I'll let you know when I'm finished editing.

Little sibling rivalry.

Adam peaking through the grass and Chris trying to hide from my reflector. Told him to start kissing Liana so I could get some pic's of him not squinting. lol He seemed happy with that compromise.

Finally everyone looking. lol
Keep them open, was the theme of the morning.

Sneak Peak for the Bowman's...


Family Heirloom Piano, I just love Papa and Caroline playing together. Also, good for napping... lol.

Liam's beautiful Blue eye's.

Caroline making funny faces, one of my favorite from the day. lol

Sweet feet and kisses from big sister.
This one cracks me up Seren holding Liam and Caroline pointing at her shirt and the look on her face say, "No, I'm the Big Sister!" LOL.
Congratulation's Bonnie and Chris on your beautiful growing family! They are cousin's of mine that live in the area. It was very nice to see you all again and to have the girls play. We'll have to get them together more often, now that they are bigger. Thank you Beverly for thinking of me to photograph your wonderful grandkids. Hope, you all like the sneak peak! I'll call when I finish the rest.

Where has the time gone...

OMG! I can't believe it's already been a year since little George has been born! He has always been cute, but now has turned into such a handsome little man.
I remembered when Korin and George asked me to take photos to document their growing family from when he was still baking in the oven, his path to the light, when he was just a wee little lad and now for his first birthday! I feel so honored and blessed to have been there every step of the way. It's so amazing to see a child grow, change and be happy! It makes me think of my own little girl who I can't believe will be two in Oct. Looking back, where has this time gone? It is true, time really flies when your having fun!
That's why I love what I do and can't imagine doing anything else! I love seeing the smiles and tears of joy when people see their photographs for the first time. These are memories for a life time that you will always have to reflex back on. That's why they are so important! Never miss a moment with your kids or loved ones. You don't have to have a big expensive camera, make a pin whole camera if you have too! Because, when you look back your not going to say yeah, I used my Nikon blah. blah. blah. You're just going to be whisked away to a simpler time of smelly diapers and sleepless nights...
Any who, here are some photos from little Curious Georges beginnings to now. Hope you all enjoy!
Andrea :)
Right after he was born! Korin you did Great!
I got him his first Curious George!
Loved him holding his dads hand in the background.
First Birthday Cake! Happy man!
What would a birthday be without a Curious George Coloring book from his favorite Photographer!
If you got a couple minutes take a look at his Birth Slideshow. Don't worry there are NO who-ha shots. lol.
