We had the perfect evening in Virginia Beach for Lauren and Nick’s maternity portraits! It had been a gorgeous week of unexpectedly cool weather in Virginia – it was seriously like 78 degrees that day, in August! Of course the heat was back the next day, but at least we got their portraits done in time!

Lauren and Nick’s session was fun from the beginning – both were fellow JMU Dukes so we had lots to talk about! They were also really into enjoying the session, which made it all the more fun and allowed my creativity to really come through!



There were a few people out enjoying the beach while we were taking photos, but can you even tell?! We had a little photobomb from a seagull – but I didn’t mind!





I snapped a few shots on 35mm Kodak Gold 200 film – the light was so dreamy!

The lighting was so perfect in the park. At one point, some passersby wished the couple congratulations and Nick busted out a hilarious joke. I was so caught off guard I almost fell over laughing!

Despite all the fun we had, there were some serious moments, too! Nick wanted to try a smolder – I think he nailed it!
