I was excited to shoot in the midwood plaza area, and to play with the sweet Peterson boys…and all those ingredients together made AWESOMENESS!  Ben & Gabe are so precious and I love how different they are!! But they’re both equally gorgeous!! Check out their cuteness!!

The Ray Family

The Ray Family is fabulous. period. I love their beautiful, large family.  All 5 of their kiddos were so incredibly behaved…even after they opened up and relaxed. They are such a joy to photograph and have such a deep love for one another.  This Mom & Dad are doing something right! 🙂  I hope to see them all again soon…and I am sure I did quite the abdominal workout that evening from all the laughing!! Enjoy their peek!!!

The Rheault Family

Charlotte, NC    Family Photography, Child Photography

 

Nothing is more thrilling for me then a large and fun family. Yes, I know, I sound crazy. But it’s my truth. I enjoy the challenge and all the high energy.  I am driven by people and their energy so it’s 100% up my alley. It brings so much joy to me to watch a large family playing and interacting together.  In my heart I feel like it is what makes this world go round.  The Rheault Family succeeded in all these things in my eyes! Their handsome twin boys slept on their way to meet me, so in the beginning we were trying to wrangle them into a happy place…but their precious littlest man, Bentley made up for that with his happiness. I loved how peaceful & loving their Mom, Suzie was and how fun and loving their Dad, Matt was! Henry and Carson eventually woke up all the way and were ready to show me their fabulous sides of fun. The sun was breath-takingly gorgeous and our final product makes me smile from ear to ear.

Enjoy their family joy.

The Beshears ROCK. I don’t even have to write this…you will all see it plain as day in their photos. I captured the real Beshears…and that makes my life happy. (hopefully theirs too) Kathy and Ben are perfect for each other and seriously their two handsome little men are edible. And to top it off they have awesome names…Nash & Benji-Grant 🙂

Hope you enjoy….

3 BROTHERS + SNOW DAY

{personal}

Charlotte, NC  personal lifestyle photography

We rarely, if ever, get snow here in Charlotte but a few weeks ago we defied the odds and the snow fairy brought our three boys a pretty heavy snow storm! I had to post a few fun pics for everyone to enjoy! ps- I’m almost certain my husband had just as much fun as our 3 wild boys!

I walked outside and found these to fishy characters…needless to say, I was covered in snowballs very quickly.

The Mahaley Family {now 4}

Denver, NC  Newborn and Family Photography

 

The Mahaley’s welcomed sweet baby Ryder into this world 16 days ago, and I’m pretty sure they’re all still on cloud 9 with lil peanut. He looks identical to his big brother, Easton and I can’t wait to watch him grow up and change over the months and years! Hope you enjoy their peek…

 

 

The Minner Family

Cornelius, NC  Family & Children Photography

 

I love that we’re nearing the end of September and it is still hot during the day and cool in the night- makes for wonderful temps for families. (and myself!) The Minners are such a wonderful family, and I absolutely love being able to introduce families to a different style of family photography.  This is more common than not, a lot of my families are use to going to a studio for their family portraits (like the Minner Family) so changing it up and bringing them outside for some fun will get them a totally different look. Obviously I’m biased but I think moments captured being real represent this time in our lives better than a still shot with a backdrop. 🙂 Stacey and Jonathan are amazing parents and I hope their first experience with this was a good one. I loved watching all the fun interaction between all four of their blondies!! Hope you enjoy–
