When my middle son was little, he was (and let's be honest, he still is) obsessed with monster trucks. My husband has taken him to many Moster Jam shows at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia and it's always been a core memory experience for him! He loved the Megalodon truck. LOVED IT. A family friend had convinced my son that HE was the Megalodon driver. He used to get him Megalodon toy trucks and play with him, tell him stories about driving the truck, and the adventures he had in the truck. All of this magic storytelling fueled my son's love for this specific truck. So, my husband surprised him with pit passes to a show once and he lost his mind. He was so excited! He had the best time ever and still talks about it to this day. It was such a great experience! You may be wondering what happened when he met the real Megalodon driver though and got his autograph... well, we just told him that our family friend had the day off! Ha! The magic is still alive to this day! Wanna chance to win a family 4 pack of tickets to the Friday, September 22, 2023 Monster Jam show at Hampton Coliseum? Keep reading!

When I arrived at this couple's home, we had a roundabout idea of what the day would hold for us. But I never knew it would take us all over Hampton Roads, exploring the ins and outs, and back home! But boy, did we have a good time. We first arrived in Portsmouth and browsed the Farmer's Market. We saw lots of local vendors and artisans, picked up some fresh fruits and vegetables, and even found some new eco-friendly kitchen products to use. From there we took the scenic route- the ferry across the Elizabeth River- to the Waterside District of Norfolk. We enjoyed some wings before heading out to explore Slover Library (this place is incredible, a true Norfolk GEM!), Prince Books, and Selden Market- all must do's when visiting Norfolk! The ferry back was just as beautiful as the way there. The breeze off the water was amazingly welcome. We went home and hung out for a bit, grabbed up their perfect furry sidekick and headed off to the dog agility course in Chesapeake for a little training session.... and if you're wondering, the pup was pretty amazing. She clearly loved being there and doing all of her exercises. Your Day in the Life Session can reflect you. It can be all home, all adventure, or a little of both. It's all up to you what you want to do.
Wanna talk about what a Day in the Life session can look like for you? Schedule a call with me! We can have a zero pressure chat about what your needs are and how I can best help you tell your story. Click here to schedule a call or send me a message. Here in Hampton Roads, we (most of us) go back to school the day after Labor Day. When we first moved here, I thought it was a bit odd because back in Georgia, we always got out in May and went back to school the first week of August.
Well, I absolutely LOVE our kids going back to school after Labor Day. I can't really explain why, but it just feels like summer in August! I feel like there's so much left to enjoy! Anyways, I have always brought out the camera and kept it handy the first day of school. It's a big day in my book and we need alllll the pictures. So, I thought it would be fun to make a little photo challenge/guide to documenting your first day of school. Now, if you've already had your first day of school, feel free to adapt this to your normal routine, because there's lots of beauty and memorable moments happening in our day to day life. And to make it even more fun, don't be so literal. Don't take a picture of just a lunchbox. Be brainstorming ways to make the photo feel more interesting and visually compelling. Have fun and don't forget to tag me on socials so I can see what you've created! IG: @jess.nicole.photography |
