Military Family Life | {Virginia Beach | Norfolk children and family photographer}

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.

There are no coincidences! | Virginia Lifestyle Portrait Photographer, Children Photographer

So! I’m sure it may seem from time to time that I drop off the face of the earth… but you can always count on the fact that I am not only here, but running in far too many directions (future blog post no doubt!)  When I come up for air, I get a chance to write on this blog, offering glimpses of my latest work and my latest thoughts.   If you haven’t heard, I spent the past month or so, working with the amazing cinematographer, Josh Gooden, on a promotional video for my website.

One of my favorite things that happened during the filming process, was meeting sweet, little Antonia!  She was a last minute stand-in, and you know what they say, “there are no coincidences!”  I want to thank everyone who participated in this process, allowing the film crew and me into their homes and here are some images of Antonia (the other children were featured on my Facebook wall), followed by the video itself!  Thank you!!

And without further ado- please sit back and enjoy the movie (sometimes it takes a moment to load, pause it and then play it if that happens and then it will run smoothly- you know the internet isn’t perfect:))

Deborah Branch with perfect gifts and necessities! | Virginia Beach Photographer

Okay – this vendor, Deborah Branch, is full of great gifts and must-haves for your home.  This stuff will just put a smile on your face! Check out the latest craze: Woozies! Wine Cozies… I don’t know about you, but I am forever slipping an ice cube or two into my nice crisp Sauvignon Blanc in the summer, and praying that it doesn’t water it down too much too soon. How perfect is this?!

She has tons of great options, including a wine bucket to go with it!  I am certain this would make a perfect gift if not for yourself, for a housewarming, wedding or  just anytime gift!  Check out more great options at http://createdbytwigglettsmom.com/.  Better still, come meet Deborah Branch and touch the stuff in person at the Shopapalooza on Tuesday April 13th , 5pm-9pm at Coastal Catering Company.  You can take a woozie on a test drive!  More information on the various amazing vendors this week… stay tuned and be in the know!
