When families book mini sessions, it usually means I get to see them twice every year! I love watching these littles grow! I love capturing each stage, see their smiles come alive, their relationships with one another deepen. It warms my heart to be able to spend a little time that lasts a lifetime <3
Not all children show up ready to be photographed. I am a new person, and not all kids adjust well to a new person with a big ol camera in her face :) But, when you book a full session, you get a full session. We stop, slow down, have a snack, play a game. We let mom nurse the baby, dad play with big brother. We walk and run around, all the while I am capturing these moments, the true moments of parenthood. You would never know it from this session that baby girl was mad, and that big brother wanted nothing to do with me. I could tell mom was nervous but I kept reminding her that I was capturing magic. To date, their gallery was the largest I have ever delivered, well over 100 images. I never promise this amount, nor do I ever plan on delivering this many. But it was just SO GOOD. Relaxed, quiet, no one shouting for smiles or attention. I just walked them though the evening and this is what we got, well a fraction of it. Full sessions are golden.
I am one lucky photographer to have know this family since big sister was just shy of two years old. I LOVE seeing them every year! This gorgeous summer session happened just as the rain passed through leaving us with the most beautiful farmhouse light!
What a sweet and wonderful way to meet a neighbor! Such a sweet little family of four. The love in this house can be felt the minute you walk through the door <3<3
I watched this peanut grow since she was a little bean in her mama’s tummy! It has been so fun to watch her grow into the most beautiful, curious, and loving little girl!
I hope I get to see this sweet face every fall until she graduates…college! Such a darling girl with the most beautiful eyes!
This sweet little New Yorker got spend some time with the trees and grass on his visit to Raleigh! Such a handsome little man <3<3
These two. What a pair! Loved playing with them at their favorite family hangout <3<3
I have had the honor of photographing this little beauty for two years in a row. She has the sweetest smile and the best belly laugh. She is simply irresistible and I look forward to her session every year! This is a very tiny peak into the last 15 minutes of her session <3<3
