I’ve shared just a sweet taste of the session with this beautiful family and here are a few more. I would love to write more about how gorgeous the entire family is – but since this week is off-the-hook busy, I will let the photos speak for themselves. And there are more coming soon to finish up their peek!

Beautiful!!! Can’t wait to see the rest.
What a gorgeous family!
You guys look absolutely adorable. I miss you guys and GOD Bless you and the family. xoxoxox
From a recent newborn session – showed you a few from his session earlier but wanted to share the adorable little newborn details. Love his biggg yawn – he definitely thought he might not sleep, but alas, we worked some magic and he went to sleep. Love his little lips and those teeny, flaky fingers. That is the thing about newborns, sometimes they’re perfect in their inperfections – the little red blotches and sucking blisters and flaky skin are part of their sweet, milky-smelling charm! Then we’ve got the sausage toes with mom and dad’s beautiful wedding rings and finally…you can’t deny the soft, downy hair. Newborns, I love their little details.
As a reminder, I’m still going to give away a free mini portrait session to a deserving person, couple, family, etc. when I reach 600 fans on Facebook. The numbers are growing and we need you to join us! Come “fan” my Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/amysandovalphotography
Okay – I admit it, the first one is really just ’cause I love it so. The hat, oh, that hat!

I love living in Southern Virginia Beach. I relish long drives through the winding roads of Pungo, Creeds and Blackwater. And I love that there is a tiny cotton field just at the entrance of my neighborhood. The Virginian-Pilot actually did a story on the field a couple of years ago, noting how rare it is to see cotton growing in Virginia Beach. Suffolk, sure, Eastern Shore, of course, but here in Virginia Beach it’s a rarity.
We’ve lived in this neighborhood for over five years and each year I say I’m going to photograph that field. I’m always looking for new spots to photograph Olivia, our daughter. And now that she’s getting older, she looks forward to the new locations and adventures, too. This weekend seemed like the right time. So Olivia and I prepared. For her this means picking the right clothes. For me it’s loading the lenses in a bag. And putting on flip flops. Which may or may not have been a good idea, but if you know me, you know I prefer to do everything in my flip flops! To get to the field we had to park in a church parking lot, walk through some pretty muddy woods and finally, hurdle a ditch full of rotting leaves and muddy water. And once we got to the other side, it was totally worth it!
The sun was starting to set as we began to explore the field. Olivia, who is 7-years-old now, kept saying, “It really is cotton, you could make clothes with this!” While we were taking photos, one of the largest deer I’ve seen in real life appeared in the field a ways down from us. I have to admit, flashes of “angry deer attacks” did go through my head as he stared at us unflinchingly. But just a minute or so later, another smaller deer leaped over the ditch, and we watched in amazement as another five or six deer joined “Big Papa” for their evening meal. He meant no harm; he was just making sure it was safe for his “ladies” to join him.
We’re already talking about going back again to stay longer. It was an adventure for the two of us – and worth every muddy, scratchy step! I’m also looking forward to getting an enlargement of the last photo made and giving it to the people who own the farmland. Just feels like they should have a copy!

Amy – what beautiful photos. Olivia is so sweet and quite photogenic. You are truly talented!
Thank you! I appreciate your comments tons! Hi Lisa!
There once was a girl who always wanted to get married on July 4. And that girl met a boy whose grandparents were married on July 4. And so, when the time came, that boy and that girl married one another on July 4, 2009, in an intimate ceremony on the beach at Dam Neck Naval Base.
Nikki and Tom’s ceremony included all the key ingredients: beauty, meaning and fun. Nikki’s dress was gorgeous and the men rolled up their pants and got comfortable! I particularly appreciate the way they included Tom’s son by giving him a special gift during the ceremony – shown in the photos below. And yes, Tom even got a small “goose” of Nikki’s tush in while we captured a few photos of the two of them alone together on the beach. I love it when the bride and groom’s personality shows up on “film.”
We were preparing to walk over the dune and head back around sunset and that’s when we spotted a visitor, also seen below. This little guy was not even slightly irritated by our presence. He even stood calmly while I took his photo. One of Nikki’s family members whispered to me that it was a relative who had passed away in recent years who had come to watch over the ceremony and marriage. Married on a special day and celebrated with a special visitor. Two very meaningful ways to begin their lives together. Congratulations to you both!
