• HELLO THERE.

    Welcome to Lifeography®. Some may say my approach to photography is a bit unconventional. I like to think of it as authentic. After all, real life doesn't happen in a studio, when you're watching too closely, or asking kids to smile. For me, clicking with my clients is just as important as clicking the shutter. So take a look around to get a feel for how I capture relationships. Start with the portfolio and explore the blog to dig deeper. You can learn about my business philosophy at the Give Ten Project. If you like what you see, let's connect. You can find me online via Facebook, Twitter & 101,45,109,97,105,108liam-e, or call 757-343-5087.

    See you soon,

    APRIL 2012 UPDATE: Lifeography® is relocating to Tampa in May 2012 and is no longer accepting Virginia Beach sessions. Next Virginia Beach sessions will be in Spring/Summer of 2013.

Baby Presley | Virginia Beach Newborn Photographer

“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bank balance smaller, home happier, clothes dirty, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.” – Anonymous

What a privilege it has been to photograph this adoring mama and daddy and their beautiful baby girl Presley. We met them back in our carefree, child-free days in San Diego and are lucky to count them as neighbors here in Virginia.

This was a special session. First and foremost, because this little girl has been very long awaited and much anticipated. She is a gift in so many ways. Second, because it marks a change in my approach to newborn photography. Moving forward sessions are going to be even more relational and my style more organic. In the blur of the first few days as new parents, mamas and daddies are in awe of their tiny blessings. They are grateful, amazed and head-over-heels in love with their babies. What better way to showcase that than through photography. It is too important to miss.

And now I present baby Presley– a darling time a thousand.

Father’s Day

“Man, oh man, you’re my best friend
I scream it to the nothingness
There ain’t nothing that I need…
I’ll follow you into the park
Through the jungle, through the dark
I never loved one like you…
Ah, home
Let me go home
Home is wherever I’m with you
Ah, home
Let me go home
Home is wherever I’m with you”
Home, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes

My favorite daddy.
The most incredible father I have ever known.
A consummate family man.
My best friend.
An example to anyone who knows you.
You have made me laugh + love since the day we met.
Grateful for who you are as husband, a man of faith, as a father.
I love you ’till the end.
