Welcome

I am that girl, who from my tween years on, carried a camera in my back pocket and took photos everywhere I went. I was counted on by my co-workers, friends and family to get the shots and send prints to them later. I can't remember a time where that wasn't me. So naturally in my early twenties I began photographing friends and family for their portraits, engagements and weddings. I am a lifestyle photographer living in Europe. Our family joined the Navy in 2010 and decided to travel the world, one duty station at a time. We are currently stationed in Rota Spain. We were just a hop skip and a jump from our beautiful Capital, Washington DC at our last duty station and before that we were in Chicago. We have been so blessed to see such beautiful places and meet such wonderful people. In 2014 my husband, Jonathan and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary, our daughter's 11th birthday and will celebrate our son's 3rd birthday soon. It has been such a wonderful year. I am getting my feet planted firmly on the ground here in Spain and I would love to hear from you! We strive to give back to our community, we offer a military discount(see pricing), and for referrals and reviews we give free prints. We love our clients. Please don't hesitate to email us if ever you think our services are needed for our Hero's and Survivors.

Miss Tiffany | Maternity Photographer| Upper Northern Neck VA Family Photographer

This gorgeous mama and sweet little man were my second session of the day, last weekend. Little man had such a good time blowing bubbles, playing hide-n-seek in the local giant trees, and I even got serenaded to while he played his guitar.  He is going to be a great big brother I can already tell.
 Now did I mention how easy it was to work with his mama? She was so laid back and easy going. I had such a relaxing time working with them. I look forward to the opportunity to meet the rest of their family soon. She is waiting until the baby is born to find out, which is exactly what we did the last go around. It is such a exciting feeling on top of meeting the baby for the first time. I applaud her and her husband, family members tried every which way to convince us that we really wanted to find out before hand. It is really one of the only things in life that you can plan to surprise yourself with. So why not? Either way it will be a bundle of joy. Congrats Tiffany! I'm praying for a easy delivery and quick recovery. Good Luck!

My Family | Personal | Upper Northern Neck VA Family Photographer

Welcome Spring and Cherry Blossom season.
I hope your family enjoyed the day in DC as much as mine did. We arrived around 945 found parking and toted our props, bench and kids to "the spot" and didn't leave to head for home until 8:15 that night. I am telling you it was worth it all a thousand times over. I have been looking forward to this time since last year when I took my kids and closest friend to go scouting for "the spot".  See some of our shots from last year here
I love all the looks we got that morning as we trudged our way to "the spot". I am sure people were wondering why we had a suitcase, a stroller with a bench on top and then why we were all dressed up pulling all this stuff.  I really wanted to just put a sign on my back that read "photographer", but alas I didn't have time to make a sign.

Again thanks so much for all your patience in waiting for mother nature to finally decide to let the blossoms bloom. Our original date of March 15 quickly got bumped to a few weekends later. Finally on April 13th this is what we were waiting for.



 I can tell you I am just finished recovering from our big weekend and spring break trip to Baltimore as of today. I can not wait to show you the rest, until then here is just one more.


 I will be posting a few more each day. Keep an eye out for many more.

Browley Children | Children Photographer | Upper Northern Neck VA Family Photographer

 I am so glad that these kiddos mommy decided to get her kids photos taken before they left for their next duty station. They were moving across the country with-in 2 weeks of our session so we were on a tight schedule. The weather couldn't have been any more perfect, especially for the end of November in Virginia.  The rain had ceased and the cold was at bay and I had found the perfect spot to get many different looks without leaving the area. Mr A was a bit nervous at first, with his sweet big sister C to guide him along and a friendly neighborhood dog coming into the picture, we had the perfect scene for some wonderful shots.
Enjoy California, I sure hope our paths cross again in our Navy lives.
Best Wishes~ Simona

The Miller's | Family Photographer | Upper Northern Neck VA Family Photographer

Loved meeting this little family. A mutual friend sent them our way, so glad that she did. I can't wait to see them in the spring for our D.C. Cherry Blossom shoot. The kids sat down with me in the beginning and just talked my socks off (okay maybe he just talked my socks off- she just grinned at me the entire time). This family sure knows how to have fun. Until next time...Thank you!

Trains and Boys | Children Photographer | Upper Northern Neck VA Children's Photographer

I had such a good time with these little guys! The oldest really was a camera hog! Every chance he got he was asking me to shoot him. What fun! Thanks to their mom, Stephanie, for finding the awesome location! I really never would have found it, EVER! I sure hope you cherish these photos for years to come!
