Mr. Adorable

Isn't Thomas adorable?  I have been photographing Thomas since he was two weeks old and I couldn't believe today how much he has grown!  Today was all about running...though we did a have a few moments of stillness to contemplate the fall leaves.  I did receive some amazing hugs and kisses from Thomas and I am head over heals in love.  I even received an open mouth kiss with some teeth and a burp. I love my job!

You may or may not know that Thomas is the son of my associate, Ryall.  She is an amazing asset to my business and has allowed me to focus on the art of my photography and give you imagery you will truly cherish forever. I am so grateful she and her beautiful family are in my life.  She is definitely a vital part of the JRP team and a dear friend.

Cheers,

A Rocking Downtown Norfolk Session

This was an awesome session with the crazy Milton Family!  They love the camera and we had so much fun walking around downtown Norfolk with their beautiful Airedale, who's name has been sent to the back of my brain.

My favorite part of this session was when the kids starting singing "Mommy and Daddy were sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g..." They were singing at the top of their lungs and I almost fell over laughing because they had their own version that included having them and some other interesting stuff I can't remember.

I have many favorites from this session, but one image that just makes me smile is over their puppy with his head turned away from me. He refused to look at me for a few moments, like he knew he was a rock star and I had to wait for just the right moment to photograph him.

Enjoy!

The Bradleys

Oh, what a marvelous family the Bradleys are. I loved photographing them, though I think we chose a rather cold and windy day, but who noticed?  These kids are so wonderful, they love each other and were happy to be photographed together.

We went out to First Landing State Park and had the beach almost completely to our sleves to enjoy this little bit of time together.  This session was so much fun and with so many awesome personalities, how could I help but to fall in love?

Cheers,
Jessica
