Kellan is ONE

Lake Norman, NC  Child photographer

 

Kellan is a big ball of adorable love. Oh my.  I photographed him at 6 months and I’m pretty sure he’s twice as tall as he was 6 months ago. He was such a doll for his entire moment of fame…I love all his fun images and you will all want to squeeze him too!! Enjoy!!

The Beshears Family

Denver, NC  Family & Children Photography

 

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….

Baby Tate {hello world}

Huntersville, NC   Newborn & Child Photography

 

The Hemrick Family were so so welcoming and sweet to me when I came to their home to meet their newest addition—handsome Tate. Plus, they knocked out their session like pros—and I fell in love with their daughter, Tess!! Such a loving and sweet family!!! Tate was the biggest fan of squishing up for me, but he did stay asleep the whole time I played at their home. 🙂 perfect!! Hope you enjoy!!

Anthony is ONE

Charlotte, NC  Family & Child Photographer

 

soooooooooooo far behind on all my blog updates…thank you rain for ruining our parades weekend after weekend. All the rain caused so many sessions to be rescheduled…causing my good weather days to be PACKED with fun sessions! Either way, I’m behind- but they’re coming. promise.

{ps- all the next updates will probably be short and sweet–sorry friends!!}

 

The sweet Preusse Family met me in the Midwood Plaza area of Charlotte and we bopped around the streets having fun. Little Anthony is soon to be one, so we ended with his cake smash. Unfortunately, the monsoon couldn’t wait for us to finish. Anthony fought through the wind and some rain for that yummy cake of his! And we all were stranded 2 or 3 blocks from our cars…great stories though. We had a blast though…hope you enjoy!!

The Osborne Family

Cornelius, NC   Family & Children Photography

 

So, the good news is…I got to photograph an incredible family this past weekend. The bad news is…I had 5 others that are having to be rescheduled due to yet ANOTHER icky, rainy & cold weekend!!! Fingers crossed that tomorrow begins the new spring streak of sunshine, warm temps and happiness all around!!!

Oz, Kim and precious lil Eli (9 months old) were rocking the 40 and 50 degree temps early Saturday morning, and yes they were dressed for spring. duh. It should be warm, and it should be sunny.  Spring sessions aren’t suppose to look like a spring in Antarctica…thus we have the colorful and springy Osborne Family. We laughed and hung out…I love my fun chats with new friends, and I know that is deep down the real reason behind this so called “talent” of mine. One day if I were to lose interest in people, their stories, their dreams, and their loves then I would most likely go back to only photographing my own children. But as most people know…I can’t stop talking and asking questions. or a better way of saying it- I love to talk and I love to be curious to learn everything about how & why people tick. The Osborne’s adore their main man Eli- and I fell in love with him as well. He does this awesome little nose curl currently…and I want his Mommy & Daddy to remember it forever. I hope I captured the true beauty of this sweet sweet family!

The Howard Girls

Charlotte, NC  Children Photography

 

I am beyond blessed to be a part of the Howard Family’s world.  I am thankful I call each one of them my friend.  Lindsay and Matt are so dear.  I didn’t want to leave after we finished honestly…but for one, Matt ran out of beer and for two, he was starving- so they had to leave. But I am pretty sure we could have chatted the night away watching the sun set out in the fields. Good times for sure.   They have two absolutely gorgeous little girls. Ella is 5 and glows with happiness and love. She has the kindest soul. I adore her.  Kate just turned 3 and is just as beautiful. Her blonde hair and blue eyes melt me- and has a spice to her that will wrap anyone around her finger. The girls are precious together…always helping one another and doing what sisters are truly meant to do for each other.  Another fun addition to the family, is 10 month old Amos- their black lab puppy.  He is a charmer.  I cannot find one bad photo from all of their images…not one. So I hope you enjoy as much as I know Lindsay and Matt will 🙂

Haley {2013 SENIOR}

Denver, NC  Senior Photography

 

Starting off the new year with fun…Haley is a senior at Hough High and can’t wait to be a freshmen in August at ECU! We were frozen outside but she rocked the cute looks and somehow ignored the arctic tundra air!! I loved photographing Haley and she is such a beautiful & sweet girl! Enjoy!!

The Peterson Crew

Denver, NC  Family Photography

 

Getting 22 people all in the same place, at the same time and all happy (including 11 children) is no easy task…but the Peterson family somehow managed to do it, and perfectly at that.  The Peterson’s have a beautiful home on Lake Norman that is regularly filled with all their beautiful children (5 total) and grand children (11), so they wanted to have their entire group together for photos.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many gorgeous kiddies in one place at one time! Here is a quick peek at their big, beautiful family!

 

The Ferguson Family

Denver, NC  Family & Children Photography

 

Little fact about me…I usually don’t take any new clients that are not referred to me, and most people know this about me (lots of random reasons but #1 I love to keep all my clients and friends connected in relationships)–but this year I received so many wonderful emails from the Ferguson family that I decided to go ahead and photograph their sweet family.  I am so so THANKFUL that I did. I would’ve never had a chance to meet such a fabulous couple, that adore their daughter so much! For starters, Minta sewed all of her little girl’s gorgeous dresses…how awesome is that?! And Dave is completely smitten by his little BB and his wife! We had a great time and BB smiled almost non-stop! Enjoy!!

 

 

The Kester Crew

Denver, NC  Family Photography

 

So yes, I know I’m suppose to be keeping these blog entries quick but there is just so much I want to say sometimes. Thankfully my photos speak for themselves and explain these families perfectly! Kate & Doug are awesome (lame word, I know–but I couldn’t come up with anything better to describe them!), you can see their love and respect for one another within moments of seeing them together. They have three of the most handsome boys, 8, 6 and 2 1/2 years old…and they are all so much fun to hang out with. The outdoors and being real boys is their life!!  The entire time we were playing I was thinking “geez, I can only dream for my kids to be this well-behaved and well-rounded at these ages.”  Their family was such a delight to photograph and I hope you enjoy!
