Family Maternity Session ~ Historic Yorktown, Virginia
Had the most beautiful maternity session last night with this gorgeous family. The weather was perfect and sweet 2 year old Helen was so protective and loving with her mama. She's going to be an amazing big sister. #maternitysession #maternityphotography #onlocationportraits #moms #familyphotographer #yorktownfamilyphotographer #yorktown #Viriginia #dads #HistoricYorktown #familysession #HamptonRoadsPhotographer #HamptonFamilyPhotography #HamptonRoadsfamilyphotography #SarahV

Pageant Headshots
These two beauties needed updated headshots for an upcoming pageant. It's so fun for me to break out my studio gear and craft some pretty portraits. Wishing them both lots of luck for the competition, I know they'll rock it just like last year!! #pageantportraits #headshot #headshot #studiosession #HamptonRoadsPhotographer #yorktown #Virigina

Spring is in the Air
A little impromptu session with my sweet baby girl when we found this beautiful flowering tree. I love spring and this little doll! #onlocationportraits #kids #Yorktown #yorktownfamilyphotographer #springportraits #kidsession #lifestylephotography

A Big Happy Family
It's not often that I get to photograph so many beautiful and fun people. This family was celebrating a "meet the babies" party with three little cousins under 13 months! To celebrate everyone getting together, I stopped over and grabbed some family shots of the group. Such a happy group and adorable little ones! #onlocationportraits #largefamilyportraits #Yorktown #yorktownfamilyphotographer #babies #kids #familyphotographer #familysession

Sweet Baby Girl
Another gorgeous and amazing newborn session! This sweet doll slept like and angel for her entire session and modeled all of my favorite wraps :-) I wish I could shoot her every single day!!! So much pink and sweetness! #familyphotographer #Virigina #Yorktown #yorktownfamilyphotographer #newborn #newbornphotography #babies #families #lifestylenewborn #homesession #babygirl

Fall Family Session ~ Historic Yorktown, Virginia
This sweet family was such a treat to photography yesterday! We had beautiful weather and beautiful light for this perfect fall day. The kids were adorable and this whole family was so easy going, it was easy to see how much they loved each other and how much fun they have just hanging out :-) A wonderful golden hour with wonderful people!! #goldenhour #FallPhotography #Virigina #HistoricYorktown #HamptonRoadsPhotographer #HamptonRoadsfamilyphotography #yorktownfamilyphoto

Featured at Share Six ~ Double Exposure
Thank you so much to Share Six for featuring my image for their October theme {Double Exposure}. This was such a fun theme and really pushed my creativity. This is an image of my son with the highlights of an oyster shell and waves exposed over the top. I loved how it turned out and I'm thrilled that it was selected as a top image for the month!!! Thank you Share Six for this huge honor and for pushing my creative boundaries this month!! #ShareSix #Virigina #YorktownBeach

Golden Sun and Peeking on Dad
Someone was playing quality control officer with her dad when he was mowing the lawn last night. So cute! She loves her dad so much and you can see from those smeary fingerprints that she spends a lot of time checking out the front yard (mailman, garbage trucks and neighborhood dogs). :-) #HamptonRoadsPhotographer #HamptonRoadsfamilyphotography #Yorktown #Virigina #Kids #families #dads

Vintage Film Lenses
I've been getting crazy on Ebay and picking up vintage film lenses to use on my big DSLR camera bodies. They're 100% manual setting and focus, but they create some pretty cool effects. This one is a Russian made Helios 44-2 58mm f/2. It creates that wild swirly Boken in the background. I'm getting quicker at catching my fast moving kids with the manual focus, but I'm not quite ready to take it to a family session unless the kids are at least over 8 years old, lol!
A fun

Fall Family Session - Historic Yorktown, Virginia
I had the pleasure of trying out some new, beautiful places around historic Yorktown this week! This gorgeous family was so fun and their coordinated outfits were on point! I'm totally planning to snag their color scheme for our own photos this year :-)
Six months ago, I took sweet Lucy's newborn photos in the hospital and now she's sitting up and playing and laughing! What a treat to see that adorable smile!
A super fun way to spend a weeknight :-) #Virigina #natural
