Trapped | Virgina Baby Portraits

The Muffin – during our trip home to Florida a few months ago. Sometimes, the outtakes are my favorites.

All You Need Is Love… | Virginia Children’s Portraits

Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but thought I’d share Liam’s preschool Valentine. He really enjoyed his personalized cards…and so did his buddies. Design inspired by the amazing Alma Loveland’s colorful creations. Hope your day was filled with love, laughter + happiness.

maddie’s mini | virginia baby photography

14-month-old Maddie came to see me this week for a mini session. She amazed me with her verbal acrobatics — and of course her non-stop motion. This age group (new walkers to age 2.5) is notoriously difficult to photograph. I have one of my own and  haven’t captured a decent portrait of him in ages! Maddie was a busy bee — and knew exactly what she wanted. I simply followed her around. My favorite shot was completely spontaneous…she loves to “cook” so we pulled some of the kids’ toys from the playroom to anchor her. In an instant, she was whipping up a chef’s delight. When she decided the time was right to take a bite , she gazed at me with her amazing baby blues–snap. I caught it. Certainly untraditional –but it’s steeped in personality. Even the centered composition makes me want to linger a bit longer. Hope her mama (and daddy who is working in Haiti) enjoy this sneak peek of their sweet darling.

Maddie is a sweetie and so are these photos. The first one is really good and the ones showing her blue, blue eyes are also essential.
