Are you one of those folks that get emotional at weddings?
I am raising my hand. It's me. I do. I get emotional at them! 
When Kajohnna and Trevelle asked me to come to their super intimate backyard wedding and document their vows, I immediately crossed my fingers and prayed as I looked at my calendar that I could be their photographer and that I wasn't already booked!
(as you can see, I wasn't and I was able to be their photographer!)
​

The bride and groom envisioned a small, intimate gathering in their backyard. They wanted it simple and elegant, all while reflecting their values- their love of their family, their love of each other, celebrating the life they have built together, and being in touch with nature. It was truly every bit of that. 

I think there is something so incredibly special about a couple choosing a small wedding. It's just about their love and nothing else. 
Speaking of which... their vows? The sweetest I've ever heard.

Oh sweet little baby, your arrival has been much anticipated. 
Your family is overjoyed that you are here and your sweet little house in Norfolk is bursting with love for you. 
Your siblings even fight over who gets to hold you and cuddle you first. 

I was invited to photograph this sweet little bundle of joy in their Norfolk, Virginia home while her grandmother and cousin was there visiting. 
I can't stress enough how important I think it is to include grandparents in your sessions. (you can read my thoughts on this topic on this post) 
Her session was just what I expected it to be, with her coming into a home with 3 older siblings. It was beautifully loud and at times, a little chaotic...and her peacefully sleeping through it all. Gently stirring when she wanted a little comfort and milk from mama, then drifting back off into slumber. Waking again only when I wanted to get a few solo snaps of her...such is the life of a photographer. ha! It's a good thing that I am a firm believer that real life moments are the best. This is just the kind of home I feel welcome in.
