My goodness! I didn’t realize it had been quite so long since I updated my portfolio!! I only had galleries up for my children’s work and my couples/engagement work and both of those were woefully out of date. I just added galleries for families, teens/seniors and my OpLove sessions. I still have one OpLove session to finish up and add, but other than that, I think everything’s up to date now! Just click the portfolio link in the top menu and select your favorite session type!

This family is so dear to me as the mama and I go back to our teen years! We were in a band together in high school. =) She was a dear friend to me back then and she is again now. I’m so lucky to have someone in my life that has known me for so long. There’s just something special about friendships that span decades. There’s a realness to them that only comes with time, I think. And now our kids play together! It’s amazing. And so is the C family. =)
Check out these goodies from our shoot.
This is one of my favorite shots of all time!!
This session is from several months ago, but I somehow forgot to post it! These girls are just ADORABLE, aren’t they? It was a fun session; we waltzed around Olde Towne, taking detours into people’s bushes and stairs! [Z], the elder, was more interested in exploring than having her picture taken, but I think we got some really sweet shots anyway! [T], the younger, was just as cute as she could be. She was up for anything! I love the looks of pure wonder that comes with that age. =) I had a great time meeting and hanging out with the [G] family!
Hey all. I’m so excited to announce my first Holiday Mini-Sessions! Just in time to get those holiday cards made and sent out with a recent photo of your gorgeous family. =)
You have two times of day (morning and late afternoon), two weekends (October 23/24 and November 6/7) and two settings (urban and beach) to choose from, so there’s something for everyone! There are only a very limited number of sessions available, so please be sure to book as soon as possible to secure your session. Here’s the breakdown of the sessions:
- Saturday, October 23rd – Urban session in Olde Towne, Portsmouth – 8am, 8:30am, 9am, 9:30am for the morning sessions and 3pm, 3:30pm, 4pm, 4:30pm, 5pm for the late afternoon sessions
- Sunday, October 24th – Beach session in Norfolk or Virginia Beach (TBD…let me know if you have a preference!) – 4pm, 4:30pm, 5pm for the late afternoon sessions
- Saturday, November 6th – Urban session in Olde Towne, Portsmouth – 8am, 8:30am, 9am, 9:30am for the morning sessions and 3pm, 3:30pm, 4pm, 4:30pm, 5pm for the late afternoon sessions
- Sunday, November 7th – Beach session in Norfolk or Virginia Beach (TBD…let me know if you have a preference!) – 4pm, 4:30pm, 5pm for the late afternoon sessions
Each session includes 20 minutes of shooting time, 8+ proofs in a private, online gallery to choose from and either 24 custom holiday cards or 1 low-resolution image (printable up to 5×7) for making your own holiday card. Upgrade to your package to include 24 holiday cards AND 1-3 medium-resolution images (printable up to 8×10). Add-ons are also available, including additional holiday cards, beautiful pocket-sized accordion albums (perfect brag books for grandparents!), gift prints (8×10 and smaller) and gorgeous mounted prints, ready to frame or display on easels.
Many of you know that our family is adopting a little boy from Ethiopia. Our case has been submitted to court in Ethiopia and we’re just waiting to hear when our court date will be. We’re hoping for a December or January court date, so fingers crossed! We have to travel for court, so we’ll be meeting our little guy for the first time in just a matter of weeks! ALL of the profits from these sessions will go directly to our travel fund. Our travel costs will be substantial as both Stephen and I have to travel for the court trip and we’re hoping to bring Eliza with us for the visa/pick-up trip a few weeks after court. With round-trip airfare being $1200-1900 per person (depending on the time of year), it adds up VERY quickly!
To book your session, just go to http://leilawylie.bookmonline.com, select your preferred package, date and time. You’ll then be prompted for your contact info. After that’s all filled out, you can choose to pay your session fee online via PayPal (you do NOT need a PayPal account to pay via PayPal), you can mail a check or you can call me with your credit card number. Whatever works best for you!
Of course, full sessions are always available as well. If you’re thinking about a mini-session and think you’d like to go with a full session instead (1-2 hours of shooting), I’d be happy to offer you some special deals on holiday cards, accordion albums and medium-resolution images.
Please let me know if you have any questions at all. I’m here to help! I can’t wait to see y’all. =)
I had the opportunity to take a few more pictures of the C children, which was a ton of fun! So we get another sneak peek! Yay!
