Mini Session Fabulousness

Charlotte, NC     Family & Child Photography

Enjoy some shots of many of the gorgeous families that I am grateful to have shot this Fall/Winter despite my crazy arm issues!! We had a blast and I loved seeing so many familiar faces, and many new ones too! I plan on doing many weekends of mini sessions in the Fall and Winter of 2014!!  I will planning those dates in the beginning of the new year and will fill them on a first come, first serve basis! Can’t wait!!! Enjoy!!!

Oh what a light a new little puppy can bring into a family…the beautiful Accetta Family added a new member and I got to meet him!! Chip. They have had a crazy 2013 (like many of us) and I am so glad I was able to capture some memories for them!!! I could take all 3 of their kiddies home with me- so precious!!

Enjoy!!

The Wise Family

 Davidson, NC    Family & Child  Photography

I absolutely adore this beautiful family. I loved every second of their last shoot by the lake, and this time it was just as much fun at this gorgeous farm in Davidson! Taylor and Daniel have 2 of the cutest kiddos around and we were laughing so hard my tummy actually hurt by the end of the session! Avery feeding the donkeys was a fav moment of my photography lifespan.  She is one hell of an animal lover. Complete Bliss. Hope you enjoy this family’s really really late peek!! PS- If only I had a little girl, I would dress her in Avery’s perfect lil wardrobe!!! 🙂

Matilda Jane rocks our world!!

December 2013      {child photography}     Charlotte, North Carolina

All you Moms & ladies out there get ready to start shopping…Matilda Jane has done it again, they have revealed the second release to their Paint by Numbers collection! They never cease to amaze me. I seem to only wish for a little girl when I see their clothing. I want every single piece in every single collection. So I have to settle for second best…buying it for myself ( YES– they make adult sizes too!) and all my sweet friend’s little girls!

Matilda Jane has the most unique, stylish, mix n match clothing line for little girls I have ever seen, and beyond well-made to top it off.

Last week when we received our MJ products in their fancy & fun packaging we immediately felt special (it was like opening Christmas a couple weeks early!) and could tell the quality was as superior as each time before. We adore what they sent us…and love that you can mix and match the pieces with tons and tons of other items they sell as well. As a photographer, I appreciate the parents that spend the time to put their little girls in clothing that photographs well. Matilda Jane Clothing does just that, plus more. (As I sit here typing, I keep thinking to myself…maybe I should be working for MJ with this much love for their clothing! Or just suck it up and add a little girl to our three wild boys!)

Here is the Turtle Dove Knot Top paired with the Strippling Tee and Gallery Leggings from the second release of the Paint by Numbers Collection. Our precious little model Kallyn shines in these pieces.  I love all the detail with each piece, and how soft and fun it is for a 3 year old to play around in!  The colors are STUNNING in this collection. Distinct vibrant jewel tones, with classic prints mixed in make these pieces blend perfectly for Fall or Winter!

Hope you enjoy a peek at this magical world of Matilda Jane Clothing!!

The Ridge Family

Davidson, NC   Family Photography, Child Photography

 

Have I mentioned before that Fall is by far my favorite season to photograph families in? Or have I ever mentioned how lucky I am to have such GORGEOUS clients? This time of year family means so much to so many- and I am so grateful to have a little part in all these incredible family’s lives.

 

The Ridge Family takes the phrase “awesome photograph” to the next level. Their session was a blast. I love Davidson for many reasons, but this time of the year I love it that much more!  Darcy & Brandon cannot take a bad photo, and their sweet boys have followed in their footsteps as well! I almost want to order giant prints of their family for my own walls! (Sad but true!!) 🙂 Hope you enjoy their peek!!

Madi is ONE

Cherryville, NC   Child photographer

 

I can’t handle this lil pumpkin’s cuteness. Madeline was so fantastic.  Her mama rocked the tunes in the car loud enough that Madi was able to dance throughout her entire 1st birthday session! I can’t believe it was a year ago that I was doing her newborn shots…and now she is wide open and happy as a peach!! Enjoy a peek t this fun session!!

The Peterson Family

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 Maher Family

Charlotte, NC    Family photography

 

The Maher Family started off on the wrong foot (literally)– I felt terrible, Heather (the precious Mommy) was attacked by a giant pile of ants! 😦  That is never good, but I am grateful it wasn’t one of their precious lil ones!! They were fun to photograph and Kaylan, their daughter has an incredible imagination that entertained us all the whole time!! Hope you enjoy their (very late) peek!!!
