A Quickie... | Hampton Roads Children's Photographer

Just a quick one for you today. Ginormous bathtub, a gorgeous big picture window, seashells, and 3 little blue-eyed kiddos, me barefoot with a camera... *sigh* I was in heaven.



These kids may look vaguely familiar if you've been following my blog for a while... This is the second time I've met them, the first time, was last winter! First, I feel a strange sense of motherly pride after spending time shooting a family... Second, as a result of my strange sense of motherly pride for families I don't know, I begin to refer to them as "my kids" ... Third, they are clearly NOT my kids, so this may officially classify me as strange.

Forgive me. If there's one thing about my kind of portrait photography that I love, it's the fact that, when done right, so much personality conveys via the images. That's what I am addicted to...what I crave. Though I find many posed portrait images beautiful (and, guffaw, yes I even enjoy taking some of those shots...), when everyone is sitting perfect and rigid and posed, you don't see as much of the spirit inside of them, the personality bubbling over in the kids, it's much more fun when it's real... a moment captured.

Good stuff.

Until next time,

Ft. Monroe Marina

The other day before a shoot, I arrived a bit early (I swear...it wasn't that I took a wrong turn and happened upon this place...it was totally planned. Totally) and grabbed a few shots of this little marina. I love early morning light and water...





So beautiful :)

Until next time...

Whitney & John | Hampton Maternity Photography

Let me warn you, I feel some sentimental-emotional stuff comin' on. Just tellin' ya...

I met these two on the beach yesterday morning. The weather was perfect, the light was beautiful, and the beach was empty. I don't think we could have asked for much more.

There's something so amazing about these maternity shoots and the couples that request them. I have been absolutely floored by the amount of emotion my couples have been willing to share with me. It humbles me. So much. I love maternity shots. I love the anticipation and the excitement each couple feels in their own special way for the life that they've created. It's unbelievable.

So here we go...


Whitney is so photogenic. And glowing. She's just glowing!


John... you're not all that bad yourself ;)


Talk about brave. These two got IN the water. It's nice and warm outside here in VA these days, but the water is still C-O-L-D. Troopers! And I didn't even suggest this... nope, this was all their idea! Which is absolutely why they're my new best friends. For ever. And Always. Amen.


Saved this one for last. As I'm editing, this is my favorite so far. I get a little emotional looking at it... I love it. And I wish I had something like this hanging in my room... *sigh* hindsight is 20/20...

Thanks guys for an awesome morning! There are SO MANY more amazing shots. I can't wait to show them to you! Soon... soon!

Until next time,

Bald

So, yesterday morning was a great morning... for a while anyway... I got up early while all the boys were in bed. I was able to drink a cup of coffee and watch the crabbers check their traps in the harbor. I spent some time on the internet and got ready for my shoot... it was relaxing and great.

Then I left.

And apparently my husband temporarily lost his mind...

Because when I returned, my baby looked like this:


DJ, fancying himself a barber, decided to "cut" Noah's hair. He said, "Well, YOU said it needed to be cut!" Yes, NOT shaved!

*sigh* *SIGH* *SUPER BIG EXTRA LONG SIGH*

So, we (DJ, myself, and the neighbors) can't quite decide who he resembles most... blog readers, you can help... here are the candidates:


It's a bit of a tough call for me. I haven't quite decided, but I have taken to calling him "Dalai". You know, like, "What are you doing in the fridge you silly dalai?" or "Get your water dalai..."

Here's a few more pics of the bald baby just in case you need some reference material...


Help us decide people.

And lambaste DJ when you see him next...

And, hats, yes... we'll need some hats for his oversized-melon-head otherwise he'll be all kinds of sunburned...

Until next time,

Give Your Husband a QUICKIE for Father's Day...!!

Okay, get your minds out of the gutter. I mean really... *sheesh* :)

Is your husband really hard to shop for?
Do you know someone that HAS everything?

Here's an idea! Give them the gift of memories. Anyway you want it :)

** Get you and the kids and the family dog together and we'll snap a quick pic, order it in a 5x7 and I'll have it to you well before Father's Day.

** No kids? Great! What would be better than giving your man a gorgeous pictures of his lady that he can display proudly at work?!

** Already have a gift for hubby, but need something for YOUR dad? Get the grandkids in a heap, we'll snap a photo (well if you know me, we'll snap MANY photos)...I'll bring you the 5x7 when it's all said and done... well in time for Father's Day!



Email me ASAP so we can book a session!

All sessions must take place no later than Thursday, June 11th in order for all prints to arrive in time.

Payment in full is due at the time of booking!

I hope to hear from you soon!!

Until next time,

How to Have A Nice Civilized Dinner

A little lesson for you. Let's get serious, eh?


(cereal you say? did someone say cereal? because sometimes i like food...)


Here at the Reedy home, we believe in emphasizing proper manners & mealtime etiquette.


(bahahaha... she said serious...or sperious...or sflerious...or who cares it was funny...)


It's important to teach your children to eat their food... not to play with it.


(smoooshy smooshy, squishy, squishy... shall i eat it? or fling it?)



Proper use of napkins is always a good lesson as well.


(What's a napkin? Hey look! I can clean my hands with my tongue! Cooooool...)


Of course, if the child finishes before the adults, they should learn to sit quietly and patiently while the rest of the table finishes their meal...


(Hey listen to this sound...Grrrrrrrrrrrrr....my mom lets me watch tv with my brother...and I already know who Sponge Bob is and I'm just 1... grrrrrrrrrrrrr...)


I am quite proud. If you ever feel you need a decorum consult. Please feel free to contact us...



Until next time,
