My dream is to provide an invaluable service to families.  My goal of a session will be to capture the connections and relationships between family members.  To focus on the little details that you might otherwise forget over time.  You will see close ups of finger, toes, and hands in relation to other objects to capture the memory of size.  My daughter was 5lbs when she came home from the hospital.  Less than 2 years later I have already lost the concept of how small she really was.

The goal of every session is to be relaxed and comfortable.  I have young children so I know we really work on their time, not our time.  Feel free to bring any comforting items to ease their shyness or stranger anxiety.  I will be glad to spend a bit of time playing with children before I start snapping photos.  I have found bubbles to be a good ice breaker and fun in photos!  Tell me about your children before a shoot so I can work with them. 

Wear clothes that make you feel relaxed, confident and comfortable.  Feel free to bring clothing changes for children.  Solid colors typically photograph better than strong prints.  Feel free to bring along any props that are special to you or have a meaning for your family.  I want to capture what your family represents at this time!

Photo shoots will not be restricted by time (unless otherwise notified).  A typical session will be about 45 min. to 1 hour to get ample photographs. 

I shoot on location.  If you already have a place in mind I am willing to travel within Virginia Beach.  Sometimes your own backyard is a beautiful oasis!  Other locations will be considered for additional fees.  If you need ideas for locations I'd be happy to suggest some great local spots.
