We all know how much we love getting our kiddos photographed! Dressing them up in cutesy costumes and snapping pics to send them off to our loved ones – I am so guilty of that! A very good friend of ours, Virginia, is a wonderful photographer. She has mastered the skills of photography and truly puts together beautiful works of art. I was one of those pregnant women who honestly didn’t like pictures taken with a big ol belly poking out. I don’t know why, and I wish I had taken more, but the pictures I do have I absolutely love, and that’s thanks to Virginia who talked me into taking pregnancy photos with my husband at a local park. We flew down while I was about 6 months pregnant for a week vacation and to have my baby shower with all my friends, and scheduled a photo shoot the day before the shower. At the shower, she showed up with printed photos in a beautiful album, framed photos, and a CD with all my pictures, all edited and perfected! I fell completely in love with them and was so happy I let her capture these memories.

When we moved back down to Florida, when Shaughn was about a month old, I was stressing out because I had to get out birth announcements, but it was already October…and then November came. December snuck up on us fast and I thought I might as well snap a picture and mail out holiday themed cards with his birth information. Some sites are crazy expensive, my goodness! However Virginia, once again, suggested she take photos and see what she could do. We went over to her place with a rather fussy baby, but she captured my all time favorite picture of him during her shoot. On our way home, literally less than 15 minutes away, she did her digital miracles and had a perfect 5×7 Christmas card/Birth Announcement waiting in my inbox! She has saved me so much worrying and stress with her gift of photography and I’m so blessed to have her be a part of our lives, especially to capture Shaughn grow through her lens. I definitely will be scheduling his Christmas session with her. I recommend her to anyone in the Southeastern FL area, and you can see her great work at http://www.virginiahartman.com/
