Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's on a SATURDAY?!?!?! What awesome wedding potential! This year I am blessed to have multiple Valentine's....a group of great friends, my husband, and my three munchkins. Glenn and I will be sharing the day together, but we'll be busy shooting a wedding with a good friend of ours. He better reserve some energy for after the wedding though - I'm expecting a romantic dessert by candle light ;) Have a great V-day...I hope it's filled with the people you love most!

...better late than never!

I know I have been a total slacker when it comes to updating my blog. I am happy to announce that we are finally settled in our amazing new home and I am back on track and in the "groove". The coffee pot is brewing around 7:30 every morning and I am at the top of my game! (huge baseball stadium cheer)

We hosted our first of many 'breakfast in your jammies' on the first of February. The morning was filled with plenty of great food and some of the best friends anyone could ask for. (And, I must say that even with all the little munchkins running around, we didn't get a single stain on the brand spankin' new carpet! woo who!) Here's a glimpse of the morning..........

Megan is all smiles in her maroon jannmie top, eating my awesome breakfast casserole!

Kyle even came with his best morning hair! If we had a contest, he would have won for sure!
Jackie and Kevin (with baby #2 in the oven! yay!)

Christina - and her best pose for my camera ;) hahaha She's so fun!

The boys (minus Chance), looking GQ.

...and the entire munchkin gang. There was not one whine! They all had a blast!

Next planned theme...an 80's bbq this spring!

Breathe in, breathe out. AH.

On top of re-vamping my website, MOVING, designing albums and the stress of every day life dilemmas - Chance is teething and waking up at least three times a night, just wanting to be held.  I think my eyes are almost swollen shut from being soooooooo tired!  hahaha  Oh, the joys of motherhood!  I wouldn't trade it for the world though.

The next two weeks are going to be insane, but I promise to get a handle on this blog once we move into the new house on February 1st!  (huge baseball stadium cheer)  We're hosting a 'breakfast in your jammies' on our first morning, so if you want to join us - let me know!  =)  Pictures will definitely be posted ;)

Calling all 2010 SENIORS!!!!

YAY!!!!!!  I have decided to take on senior portrait season this year!  Unfortunately I don't have a lot to show for a portfolio.  SO, to fix this dilemma, I will be shooting FIVE senior's portraits for FREE.  That's right, up to two hours of my time, all the edits and a high resolution disc with print release...all for free.  No joke.

If you have a senior, are a senior, or know a senior in Hampton Roads...please pass this on and have them e-mail me at...likeadreamphotography@gmail.com.

Will + Katie=husband + wife

Back in December 2007 I got an e-mail from an old friend in North Carolina, saying she was sending a bride my way. Referrals are my absolute favorites, so I was more than excited to say the least! The next day, Katie (the bride) called and I was mailing out her contract before I knew it...without ever meeting! In fact, we never met in person until her wedding day!

Let me tell you - this girl is STUNNING, the ceremony was romantic, and the reception was ROCKIN'! See for yourself......

the groom (Will) and all of his handsome groomsmen!

Don't they look great?!

The gorgeous bride and all of her bridesmaids (I LOVE the dresses she chose!!)

Will anxiously awaiting 'the moment'...

Katie, just outside the church waiting for the doors to open!

Some of the cutest flower girls I've seen.

I had to stay in the far back of the church, but I still managed some gorgeous shots =)

After they said "I do." we walked across the street for some photos. (The little town was so cute!)

i love this moment.

Katie's dad sang to them while they danced!

the party went strong all the way to the end. It truly was a night to remember!

Congratulations Katie and Will!

20 month old Adrianna

Isn't she just a doll?!?!?! The day before Christmas eve I met Adrianna, her mommy and her great aunt Antonella for a last minute session. I arrived just before naptime, but Adrianna took my breath away with every shot, nonetheless! Here's a peak at one of my favorites....

so frustrated...grrrrr.

SO, my ad was flagged on craigslist :( bizarre. I was trying to give back?????? Any ideas?
