I drove to Richmond yesterday to meet little Mr. G. He is a 10 day old cutie pie! I loved seeing how relaxed this family was given that this is baby #1. (So refreshing compared to the stress ball that I was with #1). Mr. G already has quite a personality: hates tummy & loves really, really loud white noise (think Dyson beside the on full blast beside the crib). He is going to be a heart-breaker for sure!

On another note, I just got a Macro lens & am loving it. It is the perfect lens to get photos of all the little baby parts. Check out the close up of Mr. G. Adorableness!! I enjoyed meeting you Mr. G & look forward to our 6 month session!

I love watching my newborn clients grow up!! Soon after Little Miss A’s newborn session in January, her mommy called me to set up a session for Spring when her brother and his family were in town.. The challenge: 6 month old (not yet sitting up), 1 year old (not yet walking) & 2 year old (all over the place) all together. I love a good challenge and to my amazement.. the kids did great! We tried to start out day at a scenic vineyard in Crozet, but that didn’t pan out so well for us. After some quick thinking, we moved the shoot to the Old Trail clubhouse! I had never done a shoot there & it was perfect and the staff was very gracious! How cute are these little ones? They all have amazing eyes!

I got to meet w/a fellow Charlottesville photographer, Brook Robinson, last week. She is expecting her 3rd girl in June! She looks fantastic and let me try out several new poses! Yay! She also helped take some pictures of Josie & me for my new Charlottesville blog: www.cvilleentremom.com. Check it out when you get a chance! The blog will feature the best and brightest mom entrepreneurs in the C’ville area. The site will launch a week from today: June 2nd.

Special Alert!!

There seems to be something in the water here is C’ville! So many mamas to be! To celebrate the baby boom, I’d will offering the following special through the month of June…

Maternity Sessions.. 1/2 off. That’s right. Book your maternity session in June (can take place any time between now and the end of the year) and get your session for $90! That’s a $90 savings! Celebrate how gorgeous you look pregnant!! It is a beautiful thing.
** cannot be combined with any other offers.

Good luck with the next couple of weeks Brook. I can’t wait to meet your new little peanut!

For session #4 on Saturday, I went to a friend’s home. She has a 1 month old, who I just didn’t think would enjoy Duke Gardens as much as the other families I met with. Little Miss S is such a sweet little baby. She even did some sleeping for us so that we could get some semi-newborn shots. Big brother Mr. D was as busy as usual! He showed off his soccer skills in the back yard for me!

A shout out to my Tar Heels! Ha!

On Sunday, I got together with an old friend.. from both high school and college. She had the most precious little girl. Miss C is a spitfire! I seriously had trouble keeping up with her. As an added bonus, she provided me with my workout for the day. We met a one of the most beautiful houses I’ve ever seen! The landscaping was to die for!

After several requests and the urging from friends, I decided to head down to my home state of North Carolina to hold a couple of photography sessions. Several of my fellow photographer friends down in NC recommended the Duke Gardens (on the Duke University campus) as a wonderful place to hold sessions! Let me just tell you.. the gardens were breath-taking! I swear I must have run into atleast 15 photographers there.. photographing anything from plants to wildlife to weddings! In there midst of all the other sessions, as well as garden visitors, I had a beautiful (& muggy) day of sessions! It was great to catch up with some old friends as well as make some new ones! Thanks to everyone that came out. I enjoyed working with all of you!

First up.. busy Mr. T! This little man was a nature lover. He had a blast chasing rabbits & ducks!

The other great news… he is going to be a big brother!

During my 2nd session, I got to catch up with a UNC friend of mine! She has two totally cute little boys who cracked me up the whole time. They were so happy to hug and show off for the camera. Mr. J, despite having a broken arm, brought his A game. On a side note, sometimes I do pull out potty humor to get smiles from little ones.. most of the time it works, but Mr. J informed me that I was using potty words and that isn’t nice! This little man totally cracks me up! I think he made me smile more that I made him smile!

For my 3rd session, I got a little break in that I didn’t have to chase any kids around. I did a “love shoot” for another friend of mine from UNC. She actually got married last year, but I missed the wedding b/c I had just had Josie! It was fun to hang out with my friend and her husband & I enjoyed getting to see another side to their relationship!

Got to meet with this mom expecting twins last week. She is expecting girls and I cannot wait to meet the 2 sweet little peanuts! She has some great friends that bought her a gift certificate for both maternity and newborn pictures. This is one of the things I love about my job.. getting to see the wonder & excitement from 1st time Moms!! What a lucky gal… great friends & twins! I’m looking forward to our next session!!

Meet Alex. She is Angie Brement Photography’s Senior Rep for Monticello High School. We met last night for a fun urban session downtown. The weather was amazing (especially great after 2 reschedules due to the never-ending rain around here!!) It was great to meet you Alex & good luck with your Senior year!!

Met with Little Miss L and Little Miss C this weekend for a fun session. We gave both studio & outdoors a go! Miss L was wonderful & loved, loved, loved the camera. Mommy said that she hadn’t done pictures since she was 2, but you would never know! I would’ve bet that she does this all the time! She also showed up in Matilda Jane… my favorite place to find awesome little girl dresses. Little Miss C didn’t quite know what to make of all the excitement, but she gave us some cute poses anyway! Glad to meet you M family!

I just got back from an amazing week in the Outer Banks. One of my best friends from college got married, so we took the family down for a week full of festivities. One of the best parts…. I got to shoot the beautiful bride on the beach! Kristin & Scott.. Congrats to you both! I love you guys!

How beautiful does she look??

And, a little peek at the wedding. They had the fabulous ladies from White Box Weddings there to shoot the wedding & I can’t wait to see their pics! I had to keep Josie from running into the water for most of the night, but I did find a little time for a couple of pics!
