Remember the baby sleeping on his dad’s officer’s hat?

He is already ONE…his brother is three, and I got word in December that their dad would be leaving in January for a year. My heart stood still.

Mom wrote back:

“I know… my heart stood still not so much when he told me (he was going), but later, when I had time to think of how much he will miss with the boys.”

What happens in a year? Far more than I would like to think. Mom asked me to create a photograph so they could remember and record their family life right NOW. I want them to told hold onto these precious minutes together. And so, I hope I froze time for you. And boys, PLEASEEEEEEE don’t grow up too fast.

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU FOR TO ALL OF OUR MILITARY FAMILIES FOR ALL YOU DO AND OF COURSE FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS SACRIFICE TO KEEP OUR COUNTRY SAFE.

Maternity + Labor= BIRTH! | Virginia Baby and Newborn Photographer

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

I am so sorry for the delay in posts. I am going to have to write a separate post just to share my personal story over the past few months. In the meantime, I have, in fact, been wonderfully busy and will (hopefully) be sharing all that I have been shooting with you over the next few weeks…

Last month, I had the honor and pleasure of being invited to attend the birth of Baby Madeline. “True-life” photo-journalistic photography at its finest. There are no words to express the natural labor process, and in the whirlwind of the moment, it was hard for even me to fully be present and take in the life-changing moment when she was finally born. Thankfully, I was able to capture it on ‘film’, and can rewind as many times as I like. It just proved to me, once again, how photography is one of the only ways for us to truly R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R what we so much cannot afford to forget.

It’s a baby GIRL! | Virginia Beach newborn photographer

Remember that gorgeous maternity shoot I posted a few weeks ago? Believe it or not, she was one of the few people I know that could stand to wait to find out what she was having. She already has a 2.5 year old “all boy” boy… and much to her surprise, out came a beautiful baby girl! Two weeks later, mom reports still being pretty much in shock that she is holding a little girl… and so far, much prefers diaper changes with a boy. LOL. I had two girls first myself, so I remember thinking that my baby boy was a strange and more difficult change at the time… We know what we know, right? I am personally thrilled for my good friend, who for the record, already looks like nothing ever happened, IMO. Having endured the tragic loss of her beloved mother this year, this beautiful baby girl encompasses all things good about life … and is the recipient of an extraordinary amount of love …from both friends (yes, I lovvvvvvve her!) and family alike. Oh and I almost forgot… Big brother wondered where his gift was when I walked in… I guess baby sister isn’t quite cutting it in the gift department, lol…No worries bro, blue race car is on it’s way!
