Things that go perfectly together – warm sunlight, green grass and leaves that are starting to fall and a family portrait session to bring everything together – sounds like a perfect day to me.

I love the closeness and playfulness of this adorable brother and sister. You can tell that they adore each other and are truly best friends.

While I love images of giggly little ones (and we had a bunch of these), sometimes I am absolutely drawn to the simplicity of a quiet image like that the close-up of their sweet little girl. The combination of her beautiful eyelashes and gorgeous little curls sparkling in the afternoon sunshine is mesmerizing. Makes you want to linger in a peaceful, quiet moment.

Enjoy!

Could you imagine a better gift for a 40th wedding anniversary? Three thoughtful sisters wanted to provide their parents with beautiful images of the entire family together – parents, children and grandchildren all together. I love these sessions, because this is what family is all about. It is so important to have these images. While Grandma and her girls will treasure these images today, they will also create beautiful treasured gifts for the three little ones in front in another 40 years.

You have to love a family that loves their pets. Meet Whiskey and Moonshine. They came from a rescue home in Tennessee. They may be fully grown, but they are still just puppies at one year old. They are beautiful and sweet dogs and are treasured members of their family. When asked if we could include them in the session, I absolutely agreed.

We had a gorgeous afternoon at their home and in Watchung Reservation. Hope these adorable puppies bring a smile to your day.

Enjoy!

Weddington, North Carolina Child Photographer | Growing

A few weeks ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph one of my 2012 newborn clients for his first birthday! I just love watching my little clients grow and photographing them with their families. This one year old man was just adorable and astounded us with all his words and we loved watching him walk, giggle, and play with his parents. And seriously, how adorable is his tuxedo shirt?

Enjoy!
