A Third Little Boy!

I first met the "F" family when their second little boy was born and I captured his newborn portraits. So ... I was so excited to meet their newest addition this past Sunday. I know baby "C" will be well loved and cared for by his super cute big brothers. From my experience, having a third little boy is so amazing and seeing the youngest morph into the middle child/big brother is sweet and special. I know this beautiful family has a lot to look forward to with these 3 boys, and I hope to have the opportunity to continue to document that for them!! 

Thank you guys so much for trusting me to capture your new little one ... especially during this crazy uncertain time. I loved the outdoor newborn session and hope you love your sneak peek of our time together!

5 Year Old Princess

Little H just turned the BIG 5 and joined me at the park in her princess dress for her birthday portraits. This little cutie brought the sass with her booty shaking, hip popping poses. It was super cute! She has definitely changed from the days when she had to be bribed with nerds and suckers :) I love when little girls get comfortable and let their inner super model out for their sessions! 

Thank you guys for choosing me year after year to document your beautiful family. You guys have some of the cutest kiddos ever and I'm thankful that I've been able to capture their lives for you!!! 

OK, so smoke bombs don't seem to be as easy as advertised and we had a little bit of a fail but we still got a few cool images!! 

Beautiful Birthday Girl

Our sweet friends' little girl is about to celebrate her first birthday so we met at the park to capture this sweet time. We were pulling out all the stops to get some smiles ... which were so worth it :) I could just eat this little cutie with a spoon.  I can't believe its been a year since I captured little R's newborn portraits. Time just passes way too quick.

Here is a sneak peek!

A 5th Birthday Boy

This little cutie just turned 5 and so we met for our annual photo session ... which I always look forward to! I've had the pleasure of photographing him since he was just a few days new so it is always special to spend some time with this sweet family and to see how much the kiddos have grown and changed. This little guy has definitely grown since I last saw him in the fall. We met up on some private property and it was fun to explore a new place ... especially this new place that had so many great portrait spots. I think a great background for family portraits is often times overlooked but it really helps to choose a location that is versatile, has great light, and is inspiring. This place definitely checked all of the boxes! 

Thank you V family ... It really was great (as always) catching up with you guys. Here is a sneak peek into our time ... I think these are some of my favorites of all time!

Making The Most of It

Schools across the country were closed due to corona virus ... no award ceremonies, no graduation, and no prom. You go to school for 13 years with this image in your head of the perfect senior year ... of all those final moments that make being a senior so special, so exciting ... and then it all comes to a crashing halt when school as you know it is cancelled. I think that for most, prom is one of those main events that most seniors look forward to and its unfortunate that so many didn't get to experience that this year. My niece, Kenley, was a senior at North Gaston this past year and was among those who were robbed of all those wonderful senior experiences. She already had the perfect prom dress so she decided to make the most of it and get all dressed up for a prom photo session and dinner with her boyfriend. Kenley looked absolutely gorgeous, and I was so happy to be able to capture her senior "prom" :)

Little "G" is Turning ONE!!

I first met this sweet family to capture their daughter's first birthday ... This past weekend I had the pleasure of capturing their precious little boy for his first birthday portraits. It reminded me that I have my own little man who will be one before I know it! This little guy is so super cute ... loved smiling for his Daddy ... and was just really about perfect for his whole session. And once that cake came out ... well, he didn't hesitate one little bit. He had green icing in places we weren't really sure how to explain :)

Thank you guys very much for trusting me to document this special time in your life! I enjoyed our time together and hope you love this sneak peek!!

Happy Happy Birthday

I met a cute new fella this past weekend to capture his 2 year portraits. I loved his shirt and matching hat ... perfect for a birthday photo session. Little "T" loved running around on the trail so he surely kept me on my toes. I love a workout while I work :) All kidding aside, this little guy was all boy - adventurous and energetic ... exactly how I love them!

Thank you guys for allowing me to capture this special time for you. It was great meeting you. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek into our time together.
