Leigh Skaggs Photography

I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Hampton Roads Virginia.

June 16, 2011

{Children’s Photographer} Virginia Beach, Virginia ~Ms. Lyla is 1!!!~

I met Lyla’s Mom when she was helping her friend, Christie, hire her wedding photographer.   She was only a few months pregnant at the time and looked great.  We weren’t able to do her maternity session because her Hubby, Shawn, was deployed, but when Lyla was born they brought her to me to do her photos.  She was a gorgeous little baby…huge brown eyes and a head full of hair.  You all know how much I love to watch the kids I photograph grow and reach milestones, so I was so excited when they called me to photograph her first birthday party.  I can’t believe how much she has grown, and she is even more adorable (if that is possible).  She gives great big wet kisses and loves the story that her Dad reads to her at night.  Thanks Ginny and Shawn for letting me be a part of her special day!  It was nice to meet your friends and family members!  🙂
