A maternity shoot in Fredericksburg, Virginia /April 18, 2017 by Thuy Minh Hussey

I have actually known this BEAUTIFUL mom-to-be for over 10 years! Ann used to be my boss at the photo studio where we worked at. She had desired a child for so long, so it was very exciting to learn that she was expecting!

Congrats Ann! I can't wait to meet Eva!

I am a French expat living in the USA, more precisely
in beautiful Virginia.
I took 8 years of Spanish but can't speak it. I love pretty stationery, real books and purple is my favorite color. I love photography because I love telling stories.

The countdown to my trip to Iceland has started! I’m SO EXCITED! It is such a gorgeous country with an incredible energy. And there’s a juice there that I can’t find anywhere else (so guess what I’ll be drinking all day long)! #reykjavik #iceland #ig_iceland #film #travel

At home sessions are among my favorite (link to this blog post in my bio!). What type of sessions do you prefer?

I photographed Catherine in the most beautiful gowns, with her hair and makeup professionally done... and yet, I find her to be the most beautiful when she is with her children ❤️

As Easter 🐰🐣 is just a few days away, I’m looking back at this picnic done just a year ago, and I can’t help but thinking how much has happened since ❤️ Styling: @davisandmainstyle | Venue: Salubria | Clothing: @anthropologi @littleposhco @xariaandco @joyjoy | Toys: La Lovie and @moulin_roty

I find tattoos fascinating, but I just can’t make the commitment. How do you feel about them?

I loved this country style kitchen at @thefilmgathering last year. I found it peaceful and simple, even if it’s the complete opposite of my own kitchen. Scan and development @photovisionprints .

This post is not going to be romantic, but informative 😊Do you know why diamond is the most popular gemstone for engagement ring? Truly, it’s due to the marketing genius of De Beers. Also, from a practical viewpoint, diamonds are the hardest gemstone, so they are the perfect choice for jewelry worn on a daily basis. Personally, I love diamonds for their high dispersion. How about you, what is your favorite gemstone?

Part of the fun with film photography is to try new kind! This time, I tried Pan 100 that @brent.d_lvs had given me. I found it less contrasty and less grainy than what I usually shoot, and I actually loved it! Have you tried some film that you normally don’t shoot with, and come to find out, you ended up loving it? Or got the opposite reaction?
Here’s a #portrait of sweet baby Kate and her dad keeping her warm.
