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.

I think Shel Silverstein summed it up best with this little poem:

Colors

My skin is kind of sort of brownish

Pinkish yellowish white

My eyes are greyish blueish green,

But I’m told they look orange in the night.

My hair is reddish blondish brown,

But it’s silver when it’s wet.

And all the colors I am inside

Have not been invented yet.

Sweet Mother/Daughter vacation at the Beach | Virginia Beach Photography

Monday, August 30, 2010

I was so glad the weather cooperated so beautifully for this long awaited photo session. I happen to have gone to high school for a few years with this beautiful mother, and it was such a blast from the past laying eyes on her (it had been um…ahem, um… over twenty years). Her precious daughter is just so playful and has the best curly blond hair e-v-e-r…!! The funny thing was there was a beached whale that day in Virginia Beach… just kidding- it was me, 31 weeks pregnant… and after that session, I realized that I will have to wait to do any more 3 year old sessions until after I have recovered from delivering this baby! My sessions offer me a great workout, as I squat for many minutes at a time, usually lie on my belly, and really just do whatever it takes to get the look and images I want… When I tell you that, even with a skipped nap, this sweetheart ran and climbed for over an hour straight, I am not kidding!! I really enjoyed catching up with my old Norfolk Academy classmate, and watching her play as a grown woman with her amazing daughter… I love my job. period.

My turn to enter a contest! | Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake Children, Newborn, Maternity Professional Photography

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

So, I just decided to enter, at the very last minute, a little photography contest myself! There is a really fun website called I Heart Faces. The theme this week is “Over My Head”. While, I actually have several cute images that could actually fit this theme, I am only allowed to enter ONE. I just had to enter this one. This is actually a photograph taken in Virginia Beach, of my darling daughter, Sylvie, and my husband. He was tossing her in the air, playing around, and I decided to try to capture the moment. My husband had the brilliant idea to quickly put his arms down so it looked like she was just flying. It was all about timing, as of course, he only had them down for a blink of an eye… or shutter, as the case may be. He could have never known what I was seeing through my lens… the pier in the background, and me sitting down, made it really look like she was super, super high in the sky. This is NOT a Photoshop editing trick… this is the real deal!

Meet the K. Family. Absolutely precious little ones… and mom and dad are simply some of the “beautiful people”. This session was in the hopes to get some great shots of their baby girl, and then whatever else happened, happened. I am happy to say, that a lot happened in this Virginia Beach home and am very pleased to share this sneak peek with you.
