Elaine | Virginia Beach Maternity Photographer

Every session is not going to be on a gorgeous, warm day. Sometimes they're shot on rainy days in between storm showers (like this one!). We broke up this session between two different days and two different locations, and I'm so glad because we got the diversity that I wanted (without all the wet ground). Elaine and Madison, thank you so much for braving the rain with me and getting such beautiful images! Miss Madison is absolutely amazing. Seriously, I love her <3 She's going to make an even more amazing big sister to little Ella (who will be on my blog soon!).

Secrest Wedding {Part 1} | Newport News Wedding Photographer

Tarra and Rob contacted me over the summer to shoot their wedding, and I was over the moon when I found out it was going to be held at the Peninsula Fine Arts Center. I LOVE art, so this was a dream wedding for me :)

I love how creative they are, and the details from this wedding are nothing short of amazing.

They are seriously the most easygoing, fun, and adorable couple. Ever.

Here's a peek at part 1 of their wedding day:

See that girl with the Canon? No, I didn't photograph her...that's me.

A little bit about me:
I've had a love affair with art and technology since I was a kid. Began with painting (remember the white dude with the afro that painted 'happy trees'? His name was Bob Ross and he was my IDOL!). I still paint every now and then, but photography is where my heart is at. I'm so grateful that I have supportive people that helped propel me to start my own business.

I love making people happy. I still own a Super Nintendo (and play it!). I love sweet tea, Starbucks, and Apple products, lol. I have two little girls named Ariana and Ellie, which I'll write about in a separate post soon :)

I'm pretty laid back most of the time, and I want that to show in my images. I will randomly get an idea for a spot to shoot, and usually it'll come out exactly how I imagined. I love that about photography, that you can take pretty much any space and turn it into a canvas. I can't wait to see what 2013 has in store for me and my business.

I'm so weird when it comes to writing about myself. I feel like I don't want to make it seem like I'm the best mom/photographer/person in the world, but I don't want to downgrade my abilities, either. I guess you'll just find out the type of person I am when you book me ;)

Have a great day, friends!
