First Landing State Park


I LOVE Virginia Beach's First Landing State Park.

Honestly, I can't express enough how stunning this place is!

Beautiful woods, clean trails, a gorgeous wide-open beach - what more could you ask for?


Add in an amazing couple, and you have all the ingredients for a breath-taking session

01 / 02

Sheree contacted me about my Maternity & Newborn Bundle where you can save $$ on a newborn session when you book both a maternity and newborn at the same time. I really did create this for the busy mom who knows they want to capture these precious moments and not stress about it - I mean really, who wants to stress and not save money??


We got both booked and started planning her session! Once we got the date and time narrowed down, it was then time to figure out the hardest thing about a session:

THE OUTFITS


Sheree knew she wanted an elegant look in the woods and casual lace look at the beach.

Doesn't the juxtaposition sound amazing?? and it WAS!

She even braced the colder water!

Unfortunately...


The original dress she was going to wear in the woods didn't fit as she had wanted - gotta love and hate shopping online!

Luckily, she had given herself plenty of time between ordering and the session to ensure that she'd have the chance to find another outfit!


I gotta say, I love the way she looks in the one she wore! She has such a beautiful glow!
