He will turn blue soon...

Well, the new favorite food is blueberries. A few weeks ago it was Chik Patties (those Morningstar fake chicken things. holy god they're good). He eats them ALL the time. It's really dern cute if you ask me...



..of course... the other side of the blueberry addiction is, well, the other side... Uhm. Diapers are not so much fun around here. Just thought you should know...

On that note,
Have a wonderful Saturday evening!

Photo of the Day: Last Night

It was gorgeous yesterday. The weather was perfect and warm and wonderful.

DJ and I were sitting on our teeny little brick porch (more like steps) around 9 or so and I looked up and the moon and the clouds and the reflection on the water all just came together... in such a way that... ohmigod-where's-the-camera-I-hope-it's-not-upstairs-in-the-bedroom-where-the-baby's-sleeping-I-must-find-the-camera-don't-you-understand?!... occurred. Sigh.



Alas, the cold, rainy, dreary weather is back. But this... this was nice :)

Until next time,

Stephanie & Ricky | An Expecting! Sneak Peek | Hampton Roads Portrait Photography

I had so much fun shooting with this couple the other day. They're young, gorgeous, and excited to be first-time parents to their little girl.

As we were talking I learned so much about them... how they met... what they love...what they do... and it really shows in their photos. This is the part of being a photographer that I didn't realize was so rewarding... the meeting new people part... learning about them and getting little glimpses into their lives.

These two happen to be self-proclaimed beach people and the color scheme in their home reflects it. Cool sea-greens and warm sand colors. Incidentally, Ricky BUILT the house... I was, like, you mean built it-built it? Yes. Everything except a few jobs he contracted out, but not because he COULDN'T do them, but because he didn't FEEL like it. This, ladies is a Jack-of-all-trades, and he is SO taken. :) And the decorations in the house were spot-on. No too much, perfect matching tones and colors. You walk in and instantly feel at home and comfortable. They've really done a great job with their house. That little girl is going to have a warm and loving place to call home when she arrives.

It was a gorgeous day, their windows were open, a breeze was blowing and it was just all-around perfect.

We started out at home for a few shots in their little girl's room...



This one took my breath away when I saw it. It. Is. So. Perfect! There is so much written in the expressions on their faces and their body language. When I chatter on about 'a moment captured' THIS is what I'm talking about.



What's a maternity shoot without a belly pic? And let's all talk about how gorgeous Stephanie looks... she's only about a month away from her due date and, uhm, does anyone else see any stretch marks?! No. I did NOT photoshop them out...this is prime genetics at work here. Let's just press on lest we incite violence among other females...



After hanging around their house, we made our way over to the park for a few outdoor shots.

They are so cute together it hurts. Aches. Pains. I love it.

Stephanie, I'm still working on the rest of the edits, I should be done soon, but I wanted you to have something to look at! I had a great time with you guys... check your email in a few days!!!

Until next time,
