Photographing for family can be difficult because they don’t hold back their opinions. I was a little nervous getting ready for this classy downtown family session, because I really wanted to do a great job for my brother and his family. Creating memories for other people is so important to me, and I wanted to give them photos they would be proud to hang in their new house.

Taking pictures together was a blast! We explored historic Norfolk, the girls opened a squirrel food diner, and we traded embarrassingly bad jokes. (no for real, I’m a terrible joke teller!) All that, and we were able to create some of the sweetest photos for this little family.

Classy Downtown Family Session

We are definitely a summer time crew and love to stretch the season out as long as possible. We take advantage of every warm day and the fact that we live a mile from the beach, 5 miles from Ocean Breeze and around the corner from our neighborhood pool. From the months of May through October our laundry consist heavily of beach towels and swimsuits lol. When we aren’t playing in the sun at home we LOVE to travel and both our girls picked that as the #1 thing they love doing together as a family.

Our perfect Saturday is any one where we have Brooke AND I am off of work, so they don’t come around often. We really enjoy just hanging out together and making memories. I try to find new things to do as a family together whenever possible. Right now we are really into painting rocks and hiding them in the community for people to randomly find. We are also enjoying our memberships to the Botanical Gardens and the Va Aquarium….each year my Mom & I each buy memberships to somewhere new for our family to enjoy and experience.
