Sarah & Chris ~ Baby Annoucement

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for these two right here!! There are some of the dearest friends to my Chris and I and I just gush over and over again when I see them!! I jump up and down like a little kid in a candy shop!! "You're pregnant," I say!! and I start screaming and they just think I am crazy!!! But if anyone deserves a bundle of joy, it is these two right here!! Sarah and Chris were told after several years of infertility struggles, which included IVF; that they had less than 1% chance of ever getting pregnant!! But they beat the odds!!! They have been through a ton of trials and tribulations, but I am so glad that there stream of bad news has finally ended!! Oh and I forgot to mention that they aren't just pregnant with ONE bundle of joy, but TWO BUNDLES OF JOY!!! What the what, now can you see why I am so damn thrilled??

I mean just look at them!! They are beaming with excitement!! Their little fur babies Kona and Stella are just as thrilled!! 

Chris and Sarah, I love you two so much and I am so happy for the both of you and can't wait to witness this beautiful journey you are both about to partake on. :)

Here's to never giving up on HOPE!! xoxo

Jordan & Max ~ Maternity

Look at my beautiful bestie!!! Her and her sweet Hubby to be, Max are expecting the most precious baby girl!! Olivia was spoiled by many this past weekend when Jordan was home for her shower. I can't wait to snuggle that wittle babe. If she looks anything like her Momma with those dimples, she is going to make hearts all over the world swoon!!

We were suppose to do their session in DC where they live! The plan was hit up all the beautiful Cherry Blossoms and it was just a dream thinking about it... until it didn't happen. Life and weather got in the way. The Cherry blossoms arrived earlier than expected and I wasn't able to get up there do to a wedding, but it ended up snowing anyway for it! Complete bummer!! So plan B was to do them when she came home for her shower. We wanted a little studio, but she still wanted to incorporate flowers and Botanical Gardens was our go to for that. Well that then changed.... AGAIN!! It rained cats and dogs this past weekend when we were suppose to be outside!! But all was okay, because we still had the studio. I have to admit, I was a little nervous at first because I can't deny my love for that natural light, but the studio was such a gem and it made me have a whole new approach on light!! It was perfect!! Mary with Bluebird's Garage is amazing!!  Go check her out!!

It is so awesome to grow up with someone and then witness them go through all of life's wonders. From the both of us having no cares in the world, to her standing by my side on my wedding day and being there when Tatum was born and now I am going to be doing the same for her!! I can't tell you how ecstatic I am. Max is so in love with his lady and I know he can't wait to be surrounded in love by his two favorite ladies. 

Jordan & Max I am so excited for the both of you and I can't wait to be there through everything with you guys!! Just a few short weeks away and she'll be here!! Hurry up Livie we can't wait to meet you!!

Brooke & Chris ~ Maternity

I am sure you remember these two cuties!! I was so honored to do a session for them when they found out they were expecting their sweet, little miracle baby! I am so ecstatic for them both. Camden James is already so loved and he doesn't even know it yet; his parents are ready for him with open arms, and I can't wait to witness their hearts get bigger!

Brooke & Chris are High School sweethearts and they are just SO perfect! They still love and play just like they did from day one, when they were walking down those school halls hand in hand. They are going to have plenty of stories to tell that sweet babe of theirs. Brooke is oh so stunning, I mean just look at her, she's all belly! She is glowing and pregnancy just looks so good on her! Chris is sweet and is always so dapper, I know he can't wait to show little man the ropes! 

I can't wait to capture many more memories for these two, soon to be three!! Only a few more weeks!! :)

Lauren & Brian ~ Engaged

How cute are these two though?!! They are so fashionable and they just compliment one another so well!! I CANNOT wait for their sweet November wedding!! It is going to be full of stunning details and I just can't wait to see how gorgeous Lauren is going to look in her breathtaking gown! 

Their engagement session was filled with things they loved! We started at Esoteric at the beach, where Brian works; it was filled with colorful homegrown goods out back and the inside was just as neat as the outside! Eat Local!! :)

We then headed down to the beach for a little fun. It was a bit breezy, but these two warmed right up. Brian couldn't stop looking at Lauren and I just love to witness little moments such as those. I truly cannot wait until the Fall to see these two say I DO!!

Hillary & Jason ~ Engaged

These two cuties right here are some kind of special!! I have known Hillary for quite some time now and she has always been sweet as pie, with those dimples of hers!! We used to party together all throughout college and there were probably times when we weren't suppose to raise ruckus on the town and did... OOPS haha. But just look at how beautiful she is, I can't wait to watch Jason's jaw drop this October when he watches her walk down that aisle! I mean he was already in awe of her throughout their whole session and I just know he is going to be so tickled to see his bride!

We were prepared for what we thought would be a sunny Spring day this day, but this good ole Virginia Beach weather just had other plans. We felt like it was Fall and God had other plans, but they stuck it out and it turned out amazing! Look at how stunning Hillary is!! I love when you can witness a couple in love and they aren't afraid to show it. 

Take a look at that amazing ring box Jason made to propose to Hillary with; it will continue to always be so special to her and I love that he made it himself. 

Also, be sure to check out the Nicholas Carinci with Major Tease Designs!! He did such a flawless look for Hillary's make up! I can't wait to work with him come October. :)
