My love of portrait photography started the moment my first child was born. Since then, I yearn to capture every little moment, preserved in a still photograph.
I love to share this desire and provide my clients with a collection of photographs that will provide years of memories. I always seek out the finest photographic products and offer treasured keepsakes you will be anxious to own.
Oh, don't forget to share your comments on the blog so I know you're out there enjoying my view... BeezEyeView.
Part 1 -Cherie had a different idea for her baby shower – a family BBQ with all their local close friends and church members. It was another typically hot Suffolk summer day and the afternoon was not short of laughter and love. The women enjoyed a brief massage to relax (so sorry the men missed out on that announcement! LOL), the kids enjoyed the neighborhood park, the men had their bonding session in the cool of the shade out back and a trip to the park. Aside from the gifts they were showered with, this family is surrounded by people who love and support them – and love is the best gift of all!
Here is a small collection of images to share this special afternoon with you.
Part 2 – Cherie had close family and relatives throw her a cozy baby shower at the Mosaics Cafe in downtown Suffolk, Virginia a few weeks later. Images coming soon!
Kids just want to have fun, right!? Well, a recent PhotoBooth session was a smashing success (ok, so maybe my opinion is biased, but I can say that *I* had a great time shooting it). Prior to and after the formal dinner for the NEYYAD Conference this weekend in Hampton, Virginia the guests had an opportunity to show their serious, silly, and just plain smiles for the camera. It was the perfect event to debut the PhotoBooth! Youth from tenth grade through young adult jumped into the frame and had a ball with posing and props. One shot we even managed to squeeze 17 beautiful women together!

This was a new concept to try and I am thankful to the NEYYAD Formal Committee for allowing me the opportunity to capture these images!
If you would like to view or purchase images from the PhotoBooth session, please send an email to photos@beezeyeview.net for instructions. Also, if you would like to request your image to be removed from the above slideshow, call me immediately and I will be happy to do so. All images are protected by copyright (images belong to the photographer and cannot be used in any manner without permission). Please purchase an image for its intended use.
My Macbook Pro is very happy and I suspect probably smiling as much as I am with its new “skin” this afternoon! I couldn’t wait to post a picture! The image options were numerous, but I narrowed down the choice to a group shot for now. I suspect I will order more and change the skin with the seasons or impulse. I may have discovered a new addiction – uh oh! I also have added protection for my computer with a Speck hardshell cover in clear plastic (which I highly recommend). Ok, so that might be overkill, but with four kids and a dog with a laptop I need all the protection I can get! (Yeah, my dog got her paws on the keyboard and destroyed two keys!)
You can look forward to a gorgeous image for your laptop too! If you desire a portrait session for yourself, a family portrait, newborn session, engagement session, or otherwise, please contact me for your photograph need. I travel the Hampton Roads area, including Suffolk, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, and Virginia Beach. Book a session and experience photography a whole new way and you can make your laptop happy with a gorgeous image too!
Okay, this is totally off-topic, but I found this to be intriguing and had to write. When I was in school I was required at some point to have an economics class. You know the content: setting up a budget, learning about consumer credit, buying vs. renting a home, and the like. Well, recently I came across this video that refers to socialnomics and it doesn’t appear to be anything new – if you consider a couple years or so as old these days – but the term wasn’t familiar to me. Have I been hiding under a rock? As a homeschool mother I considered whether or not I was in for a curriculum change in the coming months or years… economics to socialnomics?
What is the definition of socialnomics? Well, based on my searches, there isn’t an official definition (yet), but I did find this:
If Socialnomics was in Webster’s Dictionary, what would it say? Depending on if it were user generated content or not it would most likely state: The ability of social media to generate exponential returns for individuals and businesses. A subset of this is that in the future we will no longer search for products and services, rather they will find us via social media.
What does this have to do with photography? Everything as a business owner and for you, as a potential reader or client, everything. How did you find my website? How do you find products and services you need? How do I make myself and my photography viewable in this social stream across the internet? Long gone are the days of advertising in the newspaper, yellow pages, or mail flyers (although these do happen, yet I suspect on a decline). Today we have Facebook, Twitter, and Google.
This concept – socialnomics – has invaded the daily lives of millions around the world whether you realize it or not. Before today, I didn’t know “this” had a name or word for it. I am curious to see if it sticks and one day I will be teaching my kids socialnomics. Meanwhile, I plug along and do my best to be in the midst of this social stream. You can follow me on Twitter and Facebook…this fast-paced land of tweets and likes and such is where you’ll find me. Not in the yellow pages.
View the rather eye-opening data presented in this video (I muted the music) and you’ll see this in a whole new light….
The expected delivery date was April 19, but Baby A made her arrival a day early on Sunday, April 18. I am quite sure she was the most beautiful on the labor and delivery floor at Portsmouth Naval Hospital! My time with her was limited, but these are my favorite few I have decided to share. I know family and friends from far and near are anxious to lay their eyes on this beautiful baby girl. Welcome home Baby A and mommy!
The gallery for her images will be open soon if you want to order images – come back and visit!
Debbie-Gorgeous shots Bea of a very beautiful baby! I can’t wait to see what you get of her in the future! I am sure that her family will love your captures of her.
