• WENDY ZIPPWALD PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOW SERVING NORFOLK, VIRGINIA!!

    Welcome to the blogsite for Wendy Zippwald Photography. Thank you so much for stopping by. I have recently settled into my new home in Norfolk, Virginia. I can't wait to start capturing memories for the families in this area.

    I am booking my calendar for August through November 2010 right now. If you are in the Norfolk, Virginia area... BOOK NOW, especially for the holiday season. I will not be taking any holiday sessions after December 1st, so that I can return your images in a timely manner for those holiday cards and gifts.

My Nephew…Part 2! | Norfolk, Virginia Children’s Photographer

Here are the rest of my darling little nephew.   He was so much fun to photograph.  He is full of life and always on the move…unless playing Mario Kart:)   

My sister absolutely loved the images of him reading.  He’s reading!  I am so proud of him. 

I love the image with the apple on his head!  So cute!  I got that right before he took a bite.

We did this whole photoshoot in my front yard.   I’m telling you this because clients always want to go somewhere to photograph their family.  When choosing a location, think of your own home.  Your children will feel relaxed and comfortable in their own surroundings which makes it is easier on the family as a whole.   And in case you haven’t noticed, I don’t get much of the background in many images:)

My Nephew! | Norfolk Children’s Photographer

It felt so great to get behind the camera again with my adorable little nephew in front of it! Here is a peek. I will post more tomorrow.

Hey there Miss Dori! | Norfolk, Virginia Photographer

Last but not least of my PhotoGals…Miss Dori!  I also met Dori at Me Ra Koh’s workshop in April of 2008.  So fun, she lights up a room by just walking into it.  She is “in the moment”, has a great sense of humor and her laugh is always inviting!  She came with her new little munchkin and what do you think a room full of women photographers did?   That’s right, we positioned him this way and that, and he had no idea what was coming.  He was a trooper though.  More pics on that tomorrow.

Dori, you are an amazing mother and friend.  Thanks sharing in my photography journey!

Sharon + Jeramy= TRUE LOVE! | Norfolk, VA Family Photography

Continuing on with my week of PhotoGals…

Meet my lovely friend Sharon.  I don’t know where to begin with Sharon.  She is one of the most caring individuals I have ever met.  She is infectious in so many good ways.  People gravitate to her because of her kind heart and her great laugh.  When she smiles, it is with her whole body and soul.  When she photographs people, it is to capture the connections between them.  Wow, I am tearing up because I miss her so!  This gal is all about goodness! 

She will probably be out of commission for a little while, as her and Jeramy just added to their family, but if you need a photographer in the Vacaville, Fairfield, Suisun City area, check her work at Homegrown Photography.

Sharon you are magnificent!  I love you!

Now Jeramy, I could go on and on about you also.  You and Sharon are the meaning of LOVE.  I know it is an old saying and way overused, but…You and Sharon totally complete each other!  Thank you for joining us on portions of our “PhotoGAL” weekend.  You added a great perspective to things.  Girls just don’t think like Boys, oh, you already know that:)   It was so much fun to photograph you and Sharon alone.  Love you too Jeramy…I know that you will always have my back and be there if I need anything.  That is a true friend!  Sniff, Sniff!

 Stay tuned…Dori and Andrew then some action shots  round out my PhotoGals Week of Posts!  Have a great weekend everyone!

Amanda | Norfolk, Virginia Portrait Photographer

Miss Amanda Mays hails from Seattle!  I asked her to come down before I moved to Virginia and she said “when”.  The next thing I knew I had an airline itinerary in my email.  I love that kind of friend.

I have only known Amanda since April of 2008.  Although she is one of those friends that you feel like you have known forever and if you don’t talk for a while, you can pick up the phone and have a conversation that feels like you talk everyday.   YEP…that’s her!  She is a genuine, loyal friend.  No doubt about it!  And… Uber-creative!   Folks, she plans parties and events down to the last little favor, of course which she hand makes herself.   She is the whole package, she could plan your event and then photograph it as well.  If only we lived closer to each other.  Maybe one day!

So these shots are again from our PhotoGals Weekend.  Isn’t she stunning?  Amanda, love ya girl!
