The Ridge Gang

October 16, 2011: Cornelius, NC ย {family session}

 

Such a fun family and handsome little men…we had a great early morning session today with the Ridges! These boys knew they looked so dapper and turned it on for the camera immediately! Jackson is 3 and “little” Evan is 7 months (but the size of an 18 month old for sure!). ย I couldn’t put my finger on it while I was with them this morning, but after loading their pictures onto my computer I realized Evan looks IDENTICAL to my favorite cabbage patch baby I had as a kid…he has cheeks I could squeeze and photograph all day long! I had a great time with their gang and hope you enjoy their pics…

 

The Maher Family

October 15, 2011: Cornelius, NC ย {Family session}

 

I met my match yesterday…little 2 year old Cailen tested my “kid-skills” like never before! Sweet and beautiful but does NOT like the camera and refused to look at me or smile for that matter. After I broke out my Yo Gabba Gabba horrible singing skills & dance moves, she became a little bit more of my buddy! ๐Ÿ™‚ I love how much her big personality shows up in almost all their photos…Hope you enjoy this cute family!

 

 

Nikki & Matt

October 14, 2011: Huntersville, NC ย {engagement/love session}

 

Another hilarious session that literally had me rolling on the ground last night…we bounced around to 3 different locations and Matt chugged a bottle of pink champagne (which did nothing for him!), Nikki was given a gift from a bird in the tree above them and I obviously can’t spell because I wrote a “G” instead of an “E” on Matt’s foot! Such funny stories and I loved laughing all night with them! They’re engaged and so excited for their Spring wedding at the Peninsula Club house~ can’t wait! ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope you enjoy the beautiful couple…

 

The McCord Family

October 13, 2011: Belmont, NC ย {family session}

 

The McCord family has always been close to my heart and I got to capture some fun & sweet moments with all of them last night in Belmont! Since Tiffany is a photographer herself, it makes my job a lot easier & a lot more difficult at the same time. Photographers are picky and know what they’re looking for…but they help with being at the right place at the right time and getting the fun shots! ๐Ÿ™‚ Tiffany and Chris have the sweetest 2 boys, Chace (21 months) & Walker (6 months) which made the photos much more fun! The trains were the highlight of the evening for Chace and I really loved every silly moment with this bunch! Photographing my kids and my ย friends is where it all began for me…and I will continue to love it always! Hope you enjoy their gorgeous family…

 

Senior Ally

October 12, 2011: Denver, NC ย {Senior & Family Fun}

Yet another fun and beautiful family hung out with me last night while I caught them having fun & doing what girls do! ๐Ÿ™‚ I am so lucky to get the chance to photograph such beautiful people all the time! I couldn’t feel more blessed! The Teeples ladies were so fun and hysterical when it came to spiders…which we did see & meet LOTS of them! some of my favorite shots are of them goofing off and just having a good time! Ally is a senior and loves photography herself…hope she enjoys her photos! ๐Ÿ™‚

The Spivey 5

October 9, 2011: Cornelius, NC ย  {family fun}

 

This isn’t my first rodeo with this adorable family…I did their newest little girl’s newborn photos just a short few months ago! And now I finally get to do their Fall family photos! We had such a fun time playing out in the field and their girls are beyond entertaining!! Chloe, Ella and Lily are going to give Mommy & Daddy a wild ride their whole lives! Their personalities shine ALL the time and they just want to be girls!! flowers, pink and pretty posing like princesses! ALMOST makes me wish I had a little girl! (almost!) ๐Ÿ˜‰ Enjoy their moments captured….

 

Clara’s Baby Bump

October 7, 2011: Charlotte, NC ย {Bump session}

 

I’ve known Clara for a long time and couldn’t be more excited for her and Daniel to welcome their first baby boy, AXLE into this world very soon! (she is 33 weeks) Clara is that pregnant woman that every pregnant lady hopes to be…skinny everywhere but that cute round belly! I love her style and energy…and shockingly she was so shy in front of the camera, I still can’t believe it! Daniel’s first 2 boys were also a part of their fun session and made it that more fun! Can’t wait to meet the handsome baby Axle and watch how much their world changes with a new level of unconditional love! Enjoy…

 

ZOEY 11 months

October 4, 2011: Huntersville, NC ย {family fun}

 

Such a fun family session yesterday…I truly am loving meeting all these new fun friends. ๐Ÿ™‚ The Long family were such an easy family to photograph and little Zoey was as cute as a button!! She got to wear her adorable Halloween costume too! The flowers are blooming right now and they made a beautiful backdrop! Hope you enjoy….

 

 

Baby Bump Ava

October 2, 2011: Lake Norman, NC ย {baby Bump session}

 

So excited for the Shapiro Family’s new addition…baby Ava! ๐Ÿ™‚ Coming hopefully in December, this is Lisa Marie & Jonathan’s first child! I loved meeting them and found out what a trooper Jonathan is. He injured his back in the past and threw it out again the morning before photos…so somehow he managed to get through the photos on both feet! They make a great team and that will come in handy very soon when she makes her arrival! Can’t wait to meet baby Ava very soon!! Enjoy the photos….

 

Ash + Craig = Beautiful Braelyn

October 1, 2011: Davidson, NC ย  {fun Fall session}

 

Not only did I get to spend some fun time with my amazing best friend, Ashley…I got to photograph her and her gorgeous family yesterday! ๐Ÿ™‚ Ashley and I were college roommates basically all through college and nothing will ever separate us…although living an hour and a half away makes it tough! I was there the day Braelyn came into this world…and had the camera going then 24/7. Now Braelyn is almost 4 and the most amazingly stunning little girl I have ever seen, but that’s the obvious! We had such a fun time “out on the farm”, and I captured some awesome laughs & moments to remember! Enjoy…
