Maternity: Johnson Family

Pin It

First things first, I must say becoming a mother whether it is for the first time or the third time doesn’t compare to any other feeling in this world!

I was so thrilled to shoot this Family, even more so when I learned Lorin was pregnant.  Lorin is due any day now so we had to act fast in order to capture the “belly” before the newest addition to their wonderful family arrives.

It’s hurricane season here in Hampton roads so although we usually escape the really dreadful storms , the weather can be super unpredictable; This past Saturday was no exception.  We hoped for beautiful skies and a striking sunset, what we got was grey drizzle and extreme humidity. None the less our Momma-to-be was incomparable. Lorin was absolutely glowing and embracing every last bit of her pregnancy before princess #3 arrives.

It was such a pleasure to work with Lorin and her family. This doting father-to-be couldn’t be more proud of his gorgeous wife and his two other little beauties, who by the way, are the sweetest most well-dressed young women ever. 

I could not be happier or more excited for this family and am excited to meet the new baby. May your Labor and delivery be healthy, smooth and quick! And may the Lord continue to bless your union and growing family.

Without further ado here is the .....     Johnson Family

Lifestyle: American Love, Micky & Dennis

Pin It



The biggest compliment I can receive as a photographer is having my  friends hire me! When my friends compliment my work it makes me feel great, but when they actually hire me I know I have crossed the bridge of niceness and pleasantries into genuine admiration and respect for my work.

When I presented my good friend Micky with her daughter’s photos (which you might recognize from  Daddy's Girl, Ariana post ) she was so over the moon and immediately  wanted to book her own shoot with the whole family  {the BEST stamp of approval ever!!}

This modern day American family is very patriotic  and rightfully so, Dennis serves our country proudly in the United States Navy.
We knew we wanted to have these photos be a continuation of sorts from  the Lifestyle: Daddy's Girl, Ariana ,Ariana’s tribute to her father. With a bit more focus on Micky & Dennis of course, and just in time for the Fourth of July!

In anything thing I do as long as I am surrounded by true friends, I always have the greatest time and of course this day was no exception. We had so much fun. Starting  with the 45 min car ride we took to get to the location it was just laughs all the way.  I just adore Micky’s personality, whenever I am with her my stomach hurts from laughing so much. The banter between Dennis and Micky is just like Ricky & Lucy with Micky being a Puerto Rican Lucy. 

These photos show a different side of the couple, a more romantic side that was so sweet to witness.  Micky is so naturally stunning and has personality for days which compliment her equally handsome husband perfectly.

Just in time for the Fourth of July here is...
Micky and Dennis  Featuring Ariana
















I mean, how beautiful is this family 





Micky you are stunning 






Micky, I hope you enjoyed these photos as much I enjoyed shooting them.
Thank you for always making me laugh and for being an awesome friend! Thank you Dennis for proudly serving our country.   May your family and union continue to be blessed. i love you guys!!!
