The Waring Family | Lifestyle | Norfolk, VA Photographer

Welcome to a glimpse into the lives of The Waring Family! Liz, Andrew, Joey and baby Lily make up this wonderful little family.  Lily came into this world just over two weeks ago, and it is obvious how much happiness she has brought to them all! 

The Warings are friends of mine, so I was so happy to have gotten a message from Liz asking to do a session with her and her lovely little fan! <3

It is always important to capture the time when they are this little; they grow way too quickly!  I am in no way a "newborn photographer," see Trisha Sheehan for excellent newborn photography in the Hampton Roads area! I do enjoy newborn babies though, and their cute little button noses and tiny toes! 

It really makes me miss the time when Noah was this small <3

SUCH a precious family!

"Hey there Dad!"

We can't forget all the hair bows, pink accessories and cute outfits that come along with having a baby girl!

I think Joey has decided he likes her...

Or maybe not.....

...it's tough being a big brother! Joey is getting to be such a big boy; he's probably wondering who this cute little pink bundle is in his house!

Liz and Andrew are both such wonderful friends and parents!  They are doing a great job with Joey, and now with the arrival of their sweet baby Lily...their family is just full of love and joy!  Aren't they just beautiful together?! 

Heather | Maternity | Norfolk, VA Photographer

Heather and her two adorable boys met up with me at the little park down the street last Sunday morning.  Heather totally ROCKED this shoot!  She is gorgeous, and I couldn't have asked for a better session!  It was completely worth getting up at 7 am on a Sunday!  The weather was perfect, the light was great, and it was warm but not disgustingly hot, like it normally is during the summer. 

Heather and I actually met at this park a while back!  It was shortly after we moved into the neighborhood.  I had taken Noah and our dog, Ella to the park to play for a bit, and Heather was there with her boys.  The boys had all been playing together, and of course, I decided to chat up a fellow mommy in the area!

;] I love Heather.  She is super sweet and super cute, and I am so happy to have done this maternity shoot with her!  She will be welcoming baby boy #3 (man, she is brave!) soon, and I can't wait to meet him!

This is also the first session with my newly acquired Canon 5D Mark II body!  I got it just the day before, so of course I was excited to figure a whole new body out.  I love how much more I am getting in my pictures with this new camera, thanks to Dannielle Gleim of Vella Photography.  She sold me her beloved Jacoby, her favorite camera..and yes she names them..it's totally normal ;], and man....I just want her to know I am so happy I got it!  I'm in Canon love.
