These sweet angelic sisters make my job very easy; their blond curls and innocent blue eyes look beautiful at any angle. When I look at these images, it’s as if I’m peaking through a window in their house. Their graceful, playful and lovable personalities come through so clearly. I feel like I can hear their giggles and laughter as they twirl through the grass and share an afternoon picnic.

Having an older sister is a gift – she’s a friend, a partner in crime, a teacher and sometimes a second mom. This big sister is not only a confident young lady but she has a fun, silly side which allows her to be that quintessential big sister. This younger brother is so lucky to have her to look up to and one day their roles will reverse and he’ll return the favor. Siblings, what a gift!
Throughout our lives we wish for different things. As children it’s typically a toy, as we get older it’s a car, then as we become adults, it’s a family. Family is where we feel the safest and can truly be ourselves. I was honored to capture these special moments where mother and son could let loose, be themselves. There is such a special bond between these two, and I enjoyed watching them have fun together – isn’t that what family is all about?
Thanksgiving is about eating, laughing and most importantly spending time with your loved ones. It’s a time to GIVE THANKS for all that we have. Life is busy and sometimes we forget our greatest treasures are the people right in front of us. During this session, this beautiful family of four took the time to celebrate their family and give thanks for each other.
Today, I’m so thankful for my amazing family and friends that support me, even through the busiest of seasons, and also thankful for every moment that I get to spend doing something I love. Thank you to my husband, children, parents, sister, sister-in-law, my entire family and all of my friends and clients!
Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels to be with the ones you love!
Feet are funny! In those first few years they are so adorable and cute. I love how babies and toddlers are always fascinated by their feet but what makes me smile about these twins is how he seems more interested in his sister’s feet than his own! It was just instinct for him to grab his sister’s foot as soon as she kicked it forward. It speaks to the connection between them, and I really I hope that connection simply grows, as they grow up together.
No matter who I’m photographing my wish is always the same, to take images that will make you smile and remember! Sometimes it’s hard to remember how things once were so my hope is that your family portraits will transport you back in time where you can relive some of those happy memories. Family photo sessions are special because it can include everyone – even your pets. And these images aren’t just about the moments when you are smiling for the camera, but it’s the interactions and special moments you share as a family that you will treasure for years to come. It’s the secret a daughter tells her Mom, or the airplane ride a child gets from Dad, or the giggles that are shared between siblings. And sometimes, I can just step back into the distance to capture those precious moments of a family together.
This vintage Charlotte, North Carolina extended family session is special for two reasons. First, I love when extended families get together and share the love and second, I absolutely love and appreciate when they bring props!!! Working with props is always fun, it not only helps me understand their personality but it just brings a great energy to the session. These hats are the perfect example! The kids had such a great time and their own creativity just shined through as well. One of my favorite images is the tango, and it’s even better because it was THEIR idea!!! I love when the kids join in and help plan the photographs, because then their smiles are just that much bigger in the images!
Toddlers are special little people, they notice everything and are so easily amused by the littlest things. I love how the fall background enhances the warmth and love of this young family. This session reminds me of when my kids were toddlers, they were very much like this sweet girl and had to examine each and every leaf! We, too, would spend warm fall days taking long walks and creating special family memories.
Moms have the hardest job on the planet. We are constantly pulled in different directions and feel such pressure to be great at every role we are given. We strive to give our children everything and as a result our lives become one big complicated schedule. As I look back on this misty, rainy, cold day what I remember most is not the pink beach, the wet sand or the deserted boardwalk but this special mom and her strong bond with her adorable son. She’s raised a boy who loves to play, explore and be free! I love how we put those schedules aside and just enjoyed the day and each other!
It is so important to teach our children the how lucky they are to live in the United States. We live in a place of opportunity and freedom. I doubt this little girl realizes or understands what our flag represents that but I love how her parents have embedded their patrioism in their family photos. I’d be very curious to see how the meaning of this photo changes for her as she grows up; something tells me our flag will be as important to her and it should be to all of us!
There’s nothing like a photograph of a newborn baby. This young family gave me the privilege of photographing their sweet baby girl. What struck me about her was her expression, it is so peaceful and angelic. I can already see her personality shining through. I predict she will be a calm, laid back, happy child – one who will just go with the flow. As a photographer, what more can you ask for?
Little boys are just awesome! I don’t know if it’s the animation in their face or the inhibitions they display, but I just love it when they let loose and wear their personality on their sleeve. This little dude did not disappoint, he came to the session with his game face on!
It must have been contagious because his brother and sister played right along with him. And I can’t forget to send a special thank you to mother nature for supplying us with the leaves.
This session was filled with all kinds of family moments and I loved every moment of it – from photographing the family to preparing the slideshow, I couldn’t stop smiling. I was even a bit giddy as I placed the order for a few beautiful canvas prints with my lab, because I just know the awesome folks at my lab are going to love these as much as I do!
Enjoy!

It’s true, when a child enters your life, everything changes! Sure there are 3 a.m. feedings and countless diaper changes but it’s all worth it and these photos capture the essence of a young family. I just love the tender moments they share together not only between the three of them but especially between mom and dad – you can feel the love and connection they share. I think it’s so important to remember where all the love started and this young couple certainly took that time to focus on that too!
What does the color “red” mean to you? For some it means love, for others it means fire or power, but for me it means “redhead” as in this sweet little boy! How cute is he? I just love how his red hair compliments the background and brings out the warm colors. I had such a fun time with this family – the kids played in the grass and traded leaves and we enjoyed the last few days of summer. It tickles my heart to see how much this big girl loves her lil’ brother, and you can just see how much he absolutely adores his big sister. And you can’t miss the last photo at the end – it’s one of my absolute favorite sibling photographs!
