Leigh Skaggs Photography

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

Va Family Portrait Photographer ~The Sampson Family, featuring Jaxson~ Virginia Tech Arboretum

I was so happy to hear from Kim.  I had met their family at a wedding I photographed in the beginning of the summer (see Brooklyn and Brett), and really thought her and her Husband Will were great people…and their Son, Jaxson, is adorable!!  He has gorgeous eyes, compliments of his Mother, and is a very sweet baby.  We decided to shoot at the Virginia Tech Arboretum, in Norfolk Virginia.  It is a beautiful little garden that I love to use, especially this time of the year. 

Jaxson, (LOVE that X), came ready to take pictures.  He is a curious baby, and it was fun to watch him play with his feet in the grass.  He absolutely adores his parents, and his thumb and was a great little guy to work with.
