Extended Family Photos at Fort Monroe

I grew up in a big family. Four siblings, four first cousins who lived close, and everyone piling into one house every Christmas Eve. It was mass chaos, and has honestly been one of the best things for learning how to work with large family groups. People often come to be a bit frazzled in […]

Jorgensen Family | Yorktown Beach Family Photographer

When extended family comes in town, it’s the perfect time to schedule a photo session!  Rachel reached out for a session around graduation time.  We did a family session with her family, and some extended family pictures as well (scroll to the end of the post for those!).  The one thing they told me was […]

Williamson Family | Extended Family Photos at Sandbridge, Virginia Beach

What do you do when you have to do a session on a certain day but it’s raining?  Well, there are a lot of possibilities: a covered outdoor area, indoors, a studio session… a rainy session outside.  But with little kids, it wasn’t a great idea to be in the rain, and it was so windy […]

I’ve known Alicia (in […]

The Richards Family | Extended Family Session

I can’t even believe how many extended family sessions we’ve been able to do this year!  It’s such a cool thing to experience.  All these families coming together- they have different things going on in life, different hopes and dreams, but they’re all family and have that tie that binds them together.  I love that. […]

The Biagas Family’s Sunrise Session | Yorktown Family Photographer

Maybe I’m overly sentimental, but seeing three generations of families come together for family photos makes my heart so happy!  What’s more, this family got up before dawn to make it happen.  When Melinda first called me, she said, “I really hope you’re available on Wednesday at 7am because that’s the only time we can all […]
