Lifestyle portraits – Doswell, VA

Lifestyle photography is about embracing the perfectly imperfect moments of your every day life.  With the recent snow still melting, as well as the scheduled home improvement projects taking over most of our home, we spent the afternoon today hidden away, playing dinosaurs, babies, and watching Beauty & The Beast (which was one of my favorite Disney movie as a child– I totally had a matching Belle dress and book).  These are the little expressions and quirks that I will remember of my own children.  Smiles, giggles, wild hair, sweet hugs, the strange hand-down-his-shirt my son has had since he was an infant… I want to remember everything about these two.  ❤

Lifestyle photos – Vacation in Rodanthe, NC

I’ve been gearing up for the busy fall season and trying to put together my annual mini session event, and it’s making me already miss summer!  And it’s barely September!  So today’s blog post is a throw back to our beach vacation earlier this summer in Rodanthe.  I always want to remember all the little mundane details that make up our lives, so I hauled my camera with us to the pizzeria down the street and made sure to capture all the little details and mannerisms of my little humans.  Little wrist rolls, long eye lashes, the way she holds her cups, the way he curiously studies everything…  I’ll remember 🙂
