You Are My Sunshine - Knight Baby Shower | Chesapeake Event Photographer

On a Saturday in late April 2021, we threw a baby shower for the mama and daddy to be. My sister Bree wanted to incorporate her second favorite color, yellow. And immediately loved the sunshine and sunflowers idea, so the sisters (Jami and I) planned an epic baby shower for their siblings!

Games ranged from Diaper Pong (which was a hit with everyone) to the typical games like guess the amount of candies in a bottle, baby emoji pictionary and guess when baby Alaina will arrive. Just a few of my favorites from the day!

The Knights - Married | Chesapeake Wedding Photographer

My little sister is a married woman. Let me repeat that. My LITTLE sister is MARRIED! My sister Bree married the love of her life on February 1st, 2021. Keith has been a part of her and Aliyah’s lives since what feels forever. Keith and Bree first met in 2015 while in Ocean City, Maryland for H2Oi, a car rally where thousands of car enthusiasts from across the country gather during the last weekend of September.

Fast forward to 2021, Bree and Keith were married in our parents home, in front of a handful of family and friends (thanks COVID), and live streamed on Facebook for family and friends that were unable to make it.

We all ventured to Sushi King in Downtown Norfolk for their reception.

All I Can Say Is.... WOW. | Personal

WOW. The only word that comes to mind after the whirlwind called 2020. As it has already been a long time since I last posted in the blog, 2020 made that even worse. Personal trips canceled, many events and weddings rescheduled, downsized or completely canceled, needless to say, 2020 was not a nice year for the wedding and event industry. We thank those that still proceeded with their event or wedding. Although things are still crazy today, it breaks my heart seeing so many of my fellow wedding professionals struggling with these regulations and guidelines that continue to affect our industry.

COVID has definitely made me sit back and reevaluate my business as a whole. Thanks to my friend and fellow vendor Kristine French of That Skin Lady , Kiyomi Photography is slowly shifting to elopements and intimate events. So, stay tuned as we revamp the site and change gears!
