Today my Nana would have been 101. She made this blanket for me when I was a little girl. She and my great-grandfather lived next door to my grandparents, and every Christmas when we visited them, I stayed at her house so my brother and I could have separate bedrooms. We watched TV and crocheted together and ate ice cream before bed. Her house was filled with music boxes and china dolls, beautiful things that she didn't have growing up during the Great Depression. . She moved to Pennsylvania in 2003 after my great-grandfather died and we started writing letters. For about a decade, I wrote her almost weekly. This is one of the letters she sent me when I was in college. She always spelled my name wrong and her handwriting was very difficult to read, but I didn't care. . Last year, she had a big party for her 100th birthday. I was 37 weeks pregnant and I couldn't go, but I sent her lots of pictures after Darcy was born. 29 days ago she passed away in her sleep. She was a really special lady. Someday I'll see her again. 💜
Sometimes I like to compare our wedding timelines to the timestamps of my photos to see how they compare. On a good day, we're only about 15 minutes behind (or rarely, a few minutes ahead of schedule) for part of the day. . For our most recent wedding, we had 45 minutes scheduled for the first look and bride and groom portraits. We were running 15 minutes behind and ended up with only 19 minutes of portraits after the first look was done. (Don't worry... they are going to get LOTS of photos from that 19 minutes!) . We had 45 minutes scheduled for the bridal party too, but only had 11 minutes outside before it started to rain! Thank goodness we can work fast! . You never know what the hold-up is going to be on a wedding day, so we plan a few extra minutes here and there throughout the day to make sure our couple has a fantastic, beautiful, and stress-free wedding day! And it never hurts when you're working with an awesome wedding planner like @sterlingdawn!
Whenever people ask if I do head shots, I have a few follow up questions before I give them an answer. They usually mean photos of a business executive in a suit taken in front of a fabric backdrop. I tell those people no. But when I get the opportunity to do something feminine, creative, or whimsical, I always say YES! Especially when it's for a sweet wedding industry friend. Kaci, your new blog @lavishandlaceevents is gorgeous! Thank you for asking me to be part of it! I love seeing your new head shots popping up in my feed!
We've heard it many times over the past 6 years. Maybe you've heard it too. Worn and weary parents complaining, often on Facebook, about how hard it is. Some even go so far as to say "don't have children." I know it's the heat of the moment talking. I know they love their babies. But it still hurts my heart. . They're not completely wrong. Motherhood is hard. It's hard to comfort a fussy baby when you're sleep deprived. It's hard to patiently spoon feed your child when your stomach is growling and you haven't had a chance to grab something from the pantry. It's hard to put aside the things that need to get done and snuggle a child who just threw up all over both of you. It's hard to put yourself last, over and over again. . But our lives are not all about us. And when I'm 75, I want to be sitting in a rocking chair on my back porch, hand in hand with Ryan, with our children and grandchildren all around us. . That's why I share so many good stories from our lives. Not because my marriage and motherhood is always perfect. Because there are too many people sharing the negative. Telling you your marriage is doomed and that your family is going to suck you dry. Don't listen to them. . It won't be easy. But it will be worth it.

Love in the Little Moments

Love in the Little Moments ~ Virginia Wedding Photographer
Serving the Hampton Roads area and beyond.

I want to capture love in the little moments of everyday life. The way you look at each other. The way he makes you laugh. The way you feel when you’re together. I want to create romantic images that connect emotionally with the bride and groom and to help them remember their wedding day: the love, the details, the special moments.
