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.

This photo. I am so PROUD of it: Avery is a cute little boy who marches to the beat of his own drum. If I’m lucky, he’ll pay attention to me, and maybe even smile! 💜

Thinking about my next styled shoot. I enjoy doing those because I get to work with some of my fav vendors, and get to see come to life ideas that I had 💜

I’ve known Morgan for several years, she is someone who is beautiful inside out. So I was so happy that she found the love of her life, and that I get to capture such a milestone in their lives 💜

I’m longing for a getaway... beach or mountain, I don’t care! I just need a break. Preferably with electricity so I can keep on editing photos 😬

Now that Beth @bandblair officially announced it, i can share my excitement for her and Brendon as they’re expecting their first child! They’re going to be great parents, I just know it! And can we talk about how cute Beth’s maternity fashion is?

Today I delivered a gallery for a maternity session, but I can’t share yet as the couple didn’t make it official on social media. Meanwhile, here’s a photo from 1 of my favorite maternity sessions. I love Sonia @icelandfamilylife and Ingimar’s session because they’re great people (and the location was pretty impressive as well)!

@icelandfamilylife commented on how Christmas was just 10 weeks away. That really took me by surprise, I didn’t grasp how quickly it was coming up. I’ve been SO busy between work, shooting weddings and sessions. I literally schedule some time off here and there, to avoid getting burnt out. If you have any tips to help me take it easy, I’m open to it! 📷 @instantdeviephotography / Event: @thefilmgathering / Styling: @mwrightevents / Dress: @alexandragrecco / Jewelry: @lindsaymariedesign / Hair & makeup: @beautybyalaina / Film scans: @photovisionprints

It’s cute how my husband thought I was kidding when I said I needed to go back to Iceland, because there was 1 shot I really wanted to take... 😉

Brendon @bandblair easily figures among the most stylish grooms I got to photograph!
