New to the studio!

New to the studio!

I am now offering bookmarks…designed just for you from your session (as always)!! They are printed front to back and have several paper options from glossy to linen!

…More from this session will be posted another time, along with a larger image & the back to this bookmark…

It’s been a YEAR!!

First, I need to apologize to my loyal followers that an entire year has passed without a single post on my blog.  To catch you up…here’s a quick list of what has happened, followed by a few photos of new sessions.

1. Made the BIG move from Japan back to the states alone with my 2 young boys AND pregnant!

2. Anxiously waited for my husband to join us…and waited…and waited.

3.  Delivered (by c-section) my beautiful baby girl into our world.  :)

4. Moved from MD to WV to VA, then back to WV…just to move back to VA again soon.

Through all of this craziness, I have been trying to be patient, positive, and thankful for the basics in life: God, family, and kind friends.  With all of this said, I have been blessed enough to have the opportunity to photograph some families through this transition time in my life.  Enjoy!

Jessica & Justin’s maternity session…

A very special couple to me who has been through a lot…we celebrated their upcoming “batbaby” with a fun session one beautiful day in Winchester, VA.

The Richard Family…

This day was COLD!!  The kids (and parents too!) were such troopers and patient with my requests…their Christmas photos turned out great anyway!

The Bennett Family…

My sister and her family…we took some time one day to get some updated photos of the family and the kids, so of course I grabbed some of the adults too!  You can definitely see the personalities in these pics!

Gorgeous Baby Melina and the Shi Family

I was so lucky a few months ago to photograph brand new baby Melina and then her parents and grandma!  Talk about a gorgeous family!!  Not only was Baby Melina just gorgeous, but she was an ideal newborn for her photo session!!  She was such a beauty…

A week later, we went to the Kintai Bridge to photograph the whole family while Grandma was visiting.  It’s such an easy photo shoot when the family is so fun and photogenic!

I had a very special photo session a while back with the Hoods…just before their son went off to boot camp (he left the next day)!!

Tutus for Troops

Several months ago, I did a promo session for Tutus for Troops…another military wife who makes adorable tutus for little girls!!  In looking through my sessions to post, I noticed that I never shared these, so hear ya go!  :)

(I think this session still stands as one of my absolute favorites….maybe it’s because I don’t have any cute, little girls of my own – just 2 awesome boys!)

Baby Gunner

I realized that I had neglected to post photos of adorable baby Gunner from his first session!  (You can see him with his mommy and grandma in his 2nd session { here }.)  He is such a sweetie!

The Rinaldi Family

For their family photo session, we walked all around the Kintai Bridge area, fed the ducks, played on the playground…  It was a great day, which made for some great photos!!
