Hampton Roads Studio and Garden Newborn Session

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.
