I am beyond grateful for yet another incredible opportunity I was given this month…RuffleButts & RuggedButts Photo shoot for some additional Fall items this year!! And super excited to say our next big shoot is in October for their Spring 2014 line! I am honored that they contacted me and I am so excited to be working with such a fantastic company. (and Family too!)
Honestly we had the cutest models EVER, plus some of the cutest ruffled clothing EVER…mixed in with a little attitude and a whole lot of fun. It was perfect! Here are a few teasers….
a fun game of catch up…

Charlotte, NC Family, Seniors, Newborn and Child Photography
This summer has been so so busy with amazing families and so many fun memories captured forever…but I have been working so many hours trying to get everyone their images as quickly as possible that I haven’t spent my normal amount of time on email, facebook updates and blogging. oops. I decided to stop stressing about all the small stuff and try to do a quick blog post with some images from a few August sessions that I haven’t yet blogged. Here you go…a giant page of fun and beauty!!! I’ve been so so blessed to photograph every single one of these friends!
First up…
Sweet lil Sloan {hello world}
And now for lil Luke {hello world}…
Now for a gorgeous Mother & Father to be… Sarah & Grayson
Now for a fun morning lake session with a gorgeous family…The Webb Family (and their precious 3 blondies)
Moving on to Jennifer…2014 senior with the world at her fingertips! She’s beautiful and beyond sweet!
And last but not least…the Hall Family! beyond the obvious (gorgeous home, and family)- we had a gorgeous sunrise & a perfect day!
The Kastler Family

I could write a novel about this amazing family, but since I have about 4 minutes before my boys bust into my office and tackle me down to the kitchen for snacks…I will keep it short. Susan and Chris have been there for me since the very beginning of my photography journey, supporting me 100% all along the way. And even better…motivating me and lifting me up time and time again. They have constantly whispered in my ear that I have a talent and I should never sell myself for less then what I deserve. God knows, we all need more incredible people like the Kastlers in our lives. They are a beautiful family and have 3 precious little ones that keep growing up way too fast for me. I hope you enjoy their lil peek…
and last but not least…a quick shot of their Big Girl Sloan who is starting Kindergarten this year!! 🙂

A teeny tiny new little guy was born recently to some very excited parents, and I got to spend the afternoon with them all. Baby Bennett was older than my typical newborn session age, but he rocked it like a 5 day old nugget. I fell in love with his big brother Finley (their golden retriever) as well…and he added so much fun to their photos! Hope you enjoy!!
Landon is ONE

Landon may be the only lil boy that I have met that didn’t want cake for his birthday…so instead of the usual cake smash session, we decided to let him play and be the little boy that he is! Reggie and Shari have been wonderful friends of my husband and me for many many years now, and I can remember laughing about even the idea of filling their calm home with wild lil kiddo footsteps. Now, a year after we did newborn photos for their perfect bundle of joy, we are capturing his vibrant big kid personality for his 1st birthday! Landon is one handsome dude, and I get so excited every time I get to photograph him. He makes my “job” a piece of cake. Happy Birthday big boy! Enjoy!!!
Ellie Claire

I may have been a lil extra excited to meet Miss Ellie Claire, mainly because I had already been sucked in by her cuteness through the photos I had seen of her, and well, her parents are just gorgeous! Ellie Claire is 6 weeks and so cuddly and perfect. Emily and Jacob had two fur babies before they brought this lil princess into the world, so she came with 2 built in body guards…or best buddies. Ellie’s nursery is gorgeous and I have a great feeling that Miss Ellie will be loved and cherished to the max. Hope you enjoy their special moments…
The Ovitsky Family {summer fun}

I have fallen head over heels for this little Anthony over the past 11 months…really, it’s true. I could easily add him into my family of boys with no hesitation. Although I am quite certain his Mommy & Daddy won’t be so willing. Lauren and Troy are always so prepared for a fun session…which makes my life that more pleasant. 🙂 This session was extra special! Lauren’s father came up from Georgia to be a part of our golf course fun. What a proud Grandfather. I could see the joy in his eyes for his only lil Grandson. These were special moments that are forever recorded for their family to enjoy for generations. Little Anthony will cherish all of these when he grows older, I can be pretty sure of that. I have a feeling Anthony may grow up to have some rockstar golf skills as well…especially if he spends his weekends with his Dad on the course. I loved this session with this sweet family and I hope you enjoy it too!

Laura and Jacob are too precious…some of the sweetest people ever! They welcomed their lil teeny man into the world 14 days before our session…and wow is he perfect. Parker slept like a dream, and made it a photographer’s dreamy newborn session! I loved spending my morning with the three of them! I hope you enjoy their peek…
