Ana Alyssa | Smithfield, VA

Last weekend, Ana and I hit the road for Windsor Castle Park in Smithfield.  Now, I have never photographed there before, but I had seen other photo sessions that took place there, so I knew it would be a great spot for Ana's photos.  It was beautiful...but we missed the castle!  Anyone else not been able to find it?!

Back to Ana...I had so much with her!  Of course, we are good friends, so it is easy to have fun with her!  I had a great time during our session, and I am happy to be getting these pictures up on the blog so she can see them!  I do plan on transitioning to another blog website soon, so stay tuned for that!

A favorite from our session!  She has such beautiful eyes!

Baby Avila | Lifestyle Newborn

Some very good friends of mine recently welcomed their daughter, Avila, into the world, and I got to photograph their beautiful family!  Avi, just a mere six days old, was the best baby I have ever photographed! Okay...she is only baby I have ever photographed...(& I am not counting the camera phone pictures of Noah when he was a baby).  I guess I am off to a good start then, huh?  It was awesome spending a relaxing few hours with CA, Rocky, Gemma, and Avila in their own home!  I love that they asked me to do this; and I can't wait for them to see all of the photos!!

Such a wonderful pair!  It is moments like these.....

.....where you can't believe that just happened!

Good thing parents love their kids more than anything!

Rocky's face is just priceless!

Isn't she a doll :)

Big sister Gemma loves Avi! 

Gemma, you beautiful little munchkin....take good care of Avi!  Be a good role model; teach her things, and take lots of pictures of her!  I love this family so much, and I cannot wait to see Avila grow up into a wonderful little girl (just like Gemma!)
