Niki | Virginia Beach Senior Portraits

Well, hello! It’s bee a little too long since I last blogged, but there’s no better way to make it up to you, than with portraits of a very beautiful girl. Niki will be graduating from high school this year and that actually brings me to tears. You see, I have known this girl since she was only five years old. Time really does fly. She’s gone from being this active, talkative, full of energy little girl to a bright, beautiful…and still talkative young woman. I am so very proud of the person that she has become and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her. I know it’s going to be spectacular!

And now, with tears in my eyes from all the memories that previous paragraph just brought to mind…here’s my Niki.

Here’s a few just for her momma…who has to be THE biggest Alabama fan.

I Love Fall! | Virginia Beach Photographer

Cooler temperatures, leaves changing into rich colors, scarves, boots, campfires, s’mores…simply put, Fall is my FAVORITE time of year! After spending close to three years in a climate that basically never changes, I realize now just how much I have missed this time of year. TONS!! Today I took the opportunity to discover a new part of my new town, and let me tell you, I have fallen even more in love with Virginia. It’s beautiful!

Normally, taking portraits of my own children equates to about as much fun as a root canal…none. But something about the feel of the air, discovering somewhere new and the colors all around us, we ended up having a blast and not one single complaint that the camera was in their face. (mark this day down in history my friends!) I’m telling you, even the kids are enjoying the beauty of this place.

I LOVE Fall!!

Here we go!! | Virginia Beach Photographer

Let the changes begin! (or continue, whichever) It all began with the longest plane ride of my life as we flew from Honolulu to Atlanta and then on to Norfolk. Oy! Talk about serious jet-lag. That was an awful first week. It’s been a crazy month with first my car arriving and then finally all of our furniture, and let’s not even get started on the madness of unpacking all these boxes. As I type this post, I am currently surrounded by piles of what I’d love to call “junk”, but it’s really not. It’s just items that have yet to find a home, or maybe my OCD is kicking in and not letting me just put it somewhere, but GIVE it a home. Oh boy! Fun times I tell ya! I had the smallest desire to do that whole “wipe everything off the desk with one hand” just so that I could sit here and get the ball rolling on these changes, but then I thought a little better about it. I mean, what would I do if I knocked my precious MAC off the desk? Yeah, that wouldn’t be good.

I am actually MORE excited to be here in VBch than I originally thought I was going to be. Have you seen this place?!? It’s BEAUTIFUL! I don’t know why I ever let anyone try and talk me out of coming here! The weather is already beginning to change and get cooler, and I’ll admit, after almost 3 years in Hawaii, that is taking a HUGE getting used to. But I am SO excited to have seasons again! I have already scoped out a few places for some fall sessions as well! I can’t wait!

So, here we go! First up…a new logo! Well…kind of anyway. I wanted my logo to remain the recognized brand that it has become, so all I really did was update my name. See!

Next up, you’ll start to see my web presence making the changes to the new logo. I have made the updates to my website, here on the blog, and on Facebook. I am currently waiting for FB to approve the name change, but that should *hopefully* come soon. The last step will be changing everything over to my new “WWW” name. I have the domain, now it’s just a matter of getting all the files transfered over. Sounds like a blast huh? haha! Little by little it will all come together, and I am very excited about this new chapter I’m starting in my life!

The session calendar has been re-opened and I’ll be posting a Fall Special soon as well! It’s time to get ready for those Holiday portraits, so don’t take your time! Stay tuned!

Big Changes Coming!

Hey everyone!! Some BIG changes are coming soon! Starting with saying goodbye to all the wonderful clients/friends I have had the honor of knowing here in Hawaii! My last session was very bittersweet, but I couldn’t have asked for it to have been anywhere else than one of my favorite locations on the island…Ko’Olina. I’m very excited about this next chapter of my life, and I look forward to many more wonderful memories in Virginia Beach!

For those of you “waiting patiently” for my return to the mainland…sessions will be opened back up starting September 15th! Just in time for the holiday rush!

Stay tuned for updates..AND a new name & logo to be unveiled in just a few weeks! Much love!!

Sweet Mr. Ryker | Hawaii Newborn Photography

Look at all that hair and that precious little mouth! I love my job of snuggling bitty little babies! Ryker was such a good boy for his photos too! You met his mommy just a few months back, and daddy made it home just in time for his big debut!
