Welcoming a new baby into the family is such a special time, and documenting the Sturgill family’s Hampton Roads newborn session as they became a family of four was pure joy. This beautiful family recently welcomed their second baby girl, and big sister couldn’t be more thrilled. Watching her interact with “her baby” was heartwarming—she was so nurturing and loving, already stepping into her role as the best big sister.

As a mom of two girls, there’s something about seeing sisters together that always tugs at my heart. The bond they share is so unique, and it’s a privilege to photograph those early connections. Seeing big sister gently hold her baby sister and look at her with so much pride and curiosity made this session so special.

I love photographing babies in my simple white studio, focusing on the family’s love and connection. The neutral tones of the studio allowed their emotions and interactions to shine through in every image. Whether it was mom and dad cuddling their new baby girl or the tender moments shared between sisters, each photograph radiated warmth and love.

These early days of adjusting to life as a family of four are so fleeting, and it’s my greatest joy to preserve them for families to look back on for years to come.

There’s something so special about photographing friends who feel like family, and the Enriquez family is just that for me. Living right across the street, we’ve shared countless moments together over the last 4 years, and it was an absolute honor to document their newest little blessing—a sweet baby girl who has completed their beautiful family.

This session was a blend of cozy studio magic and golden-hour spring garden. If you’re planning your family, I highly recommend timing your due date to peony season! Kidding of course, but it was so fun to incorporate this incredible bouquet of peonies from my garden into Baby A’s photos! 

After the studio portion, we planned to head to the Botanical Gardens for a dreamy outdoor family session, but life had other plans! While I made it to the gardens smoothly, the Enriquez family got caught in unexpected interstate traffic due to an accident. Despite leaving only five minutes after me, they were stuck for a frustrating 45 minutes, and the setting sun was slipping away fast.

In true Enriquez fashion, they took it all in stride, and we quickly pivoted to a new, closer location that turned out to be perfect. This spot mimicked the lush, garden-like feel we’d envisioned perfectly. As the golden light filtered through the trees, we captured some of the sweetest moments—big brother’s playful giggles, tender family snuggles, and the look of pure joy on my dear friend’s face as she held her precious baby girl.

This session filled my heart to the brim. Seeing my sweet friend with her now-complete family was such a gift, especially since the military moved them across the country just a few short weeks later. Being able to preserve these fleeting, magical days for families is the best part of my job.
