No way it’s been a year already since I was bles No way it’s been a year already since I was blessed to capture my first wedding! I used to say I’d never do weddings because there are so many moving parts and they’re probably so chaotic. BUT when my friend, Grant, asked me to photograph his special day, I was honored to give it my best shot! And I was shocked at how easy it was photographically, and how much it fed my own energy to interact with all the best people. I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to serve that day! And what do you know, they’ve added to their ranks, and were recently blessed with the cutest little baby girl! 

Happy Anniversary, Lexi & Grant! Congratulations again on your new addition to the VanZanten Ohana!
It’s just so great to be in Hampton Roads again! It’s just so great to be in Hampton Roads again! As a military family we don’t often get to come back to a duty station but we were so blessed on this assignment to return! 

We love visiting our old hangouts and seeing how much our adventures are different (or not) from when we were last here. We believe God has brought us to every location and that we should make the most of every place we live, so that when it’s time to pack up again we know we have thoroughly enjoyed it! 

Is there anything in your life that you need this perspective shift on? What do you feel you should take time to enjoy in the current situation you find yourself in?!
I am so grateful for a job that can work around th I am so grateful for a job that can work around the greatest joys in my life. And my son gets to tag along on and learn what it’s like to be an entrepreneur as I gather my licenses, location scout, and get my headshots updated. He gets to be right there for all of it and it has sparked a little entrepreneur dream of his own! 

You never know what your kids might be encouraged by as you include them in your life outside of being “just a mom”. I’m grateful the Lord has given me a passion for photography AND homeschool. 

Also, does anyone else’s dining table look like this after a day of homeschool??
I still can’t believe this was a year ago! Yall I still can’t believe this was a year ago! Yall I used to say I’d never do weddings because it seems like so much work, but this engagement session was my start in the direction of photographing weddings. 
It was so magical to photograph and then to be there as a fellow brother and sister in Christ were taking such a momentous step in their lives! It really set a fire in my soul to want to photograph the sacred stories of who God brings together. Thanks @just_keira and @curtis.kealoha for trusting me with your engagement session last year! I’m still praying for you both and wishing we could be on that beach again for more of God’s glorious sunsets!
So grateful for all the clients the Lord has given So grateful for all the clients the Lord has given me in the last three years of business! In July I’ll be going into year FOUR!!! Since the move it’s been slow, but God always brings me the best clients in the world! So I’m excited to see what the rest of the year will look like!
I’m currently working on a website remodel in the background which, for the first time in three years, will include an increase in prices.
So if you book with me before I’m finished in the next month (your session can be beyond that), I’ll honor the current price on my website!

Also!! I’ve invested in more education in the slow season and I’m making the jump to OFFICIALLY INCLUDE WEDDINGS in my services!! Who will be the next #ilabride💍 ?!
