Why DON’T I offer client’s closet?
I want you to be your best selves at your session. I know you will do a great job picking your outfits and I am here to help you! I have written several blog posts about how to coordinate outfits, what to wear for maternity or newborn session etc. Clothes are important. Colors are super important, mixed fabrics, layers…. I personally advise each client and I have them share photos with me before the session.

Beach family session at Sandbridge I VA Beach
It’s the time of the year… family reunions at the Sandbridge beach or family vacations to Virginia Beach Oceanfront are in a full swing. Oftentimes it’s your baby’s first time to see the ocean and to dip the toes in the water. Every year, I am so excited to capture these moments for you. I love spending summer sunsets outside, especially on the beach.
