baby Edith

Charlotte, NC   Newborn photography, child photography

I loved meeting the brand new Sheedy family of three, and capturing their perfect lil bundle- Edith!! And just like most of the newborns, Edith decided to have her first big day of NOT wanting to sleep when I arrived. 🙂 Luckily after some sweet love, full belly & warmth she could no longer fight it, and passed out perfectly for us! Hope you enjoy a peek at their special memories!

Chance + Pierceson

Denver, NC     Family Photography, Child Photography

 

I am beginning to think I may just stay forever behind on the blog.  Blogger FAIL. Or maybe that will be my new stylishly late flow.  Either way…let’s not judge my friends. 🙂 (who has time for that anyways!!) Instead enjoy a few gorgeous families that grabbed a spot on my calendar in this CRAZY season of Autumn!

Chance is extraordinary. She is beyond talented. seriously. I don’t know anyone with a better party planning skill set for starters. But if I went on and on about this beauty I would run out of time to post all these fab sessions! I love Chance and her handsome lil man Pierceson!  The moment she called me and asked what I had up my sleeve this year for their session, it came to me instantly…THE FAIR!!!  I just knew her style would be glowing at a fair, plus what 5 1/2 year old boy doesn’t ADORE the fair! The lights, the colors, the movement and textures, cotton candy, fried oreos (what?), ok funnel cakes and candy apples…I could not wait!!! Their fun session was even more special to me because I got to have my oldest little mini me tag along so as soon as we finished up with all our pics- we all got to enjoy the fair together!!! Making memories for sure! SO SO SO MUCH FUN!!! Hope you get to see a glimpse  of what an incredible Mother Chance is and the love/bond these two share. Moms go to the end of the earth for their babies, and no one ever has to ask. 🙂 Enjoy!!!

The Bailey Family

Huntersville, NC/ Lake Norman, NC    Family Photography, Child Photography

 

As I pulled up to meet the adorable Bailey Family, I couldn’t help but giggle.  A Christmas tree covered in lights (yep, a full size tree) was parked in the middle of the road, while 2 precious little girls twirled around it with pink cowboy boots on.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? My heart jumped with excitement. I knew right away that the Bailey family was going to be fun…and willing to be themselves even with my crazy self & giant camera smashed all in their personal space!  I was spot on. They rocked it. Their girls were beyond sweet, and I am quite sure they’re both extremely brilliant as well.  They were a blast and I hope you see that in all their photos!! Enjoy!!

The Ray Family

Charlotte, NC    Family photography, Child Photography

 

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 Koster Family

Cornelius, NC   Family photography, Child Photography

 

Can you imagine having 4 beautiful children all with stunningly blonde hair and bright blue eyes??? WOW!!! The Koster Family has to get looks everywhere they go, because in all the years I’ve photographed families I had never seen four toeheads until now! The Kosters were incredible to photograph…beyond the obvious (being gorgeous), they were so so fun and laid back.  Their children were so well behaved but still played and enjoyed themselves. I adore how they seem to take care of one another and love each other so much! I am so blessed to get the opportunity to photograph and become friends with such awesome families!!  Enjoy their lil peek!!

oh and ps- their baby Emmy just turned 1 so we had a fabulous cake smash to celebrate!!! enjoy!!

Cameron {hello world}

Charlotte, NC    Newborn Photography,  Family Photography 

 

What man enjoys giving up his football Sunday for family photos??? Yep, I hear crickets. No one that I know.  So I knew when we scheduled a morning session for the Mayes Family it couldn’t last hours and hours. 🙂 Robert and Megan were awesome. And their new little man, Cam ROCKED it. I couldn’t believe how perfect and tiny he was for being a month old already. I had hopes of getting a few “newborn” shots of him, but assumed he would be too old to squish up into gooey perfection for us.  I was wrong…being a month early, gave us an extra month of newborn shots! YAY!  I loved hanging out with the Mayes’ and cuddling their precious Cam.

Enjoy!!!

Lyla {hello world}

Denver, NC    Newborn Photography, Family Photography

 

Oh sweet Lyla…her mommy and daddy so badly wanted her to sleep for her newborn session, but already knew before we started that if she had other plans then she would win. 🙂 She won.  She has been putting her foot down since in the womb. She does it her way. End of story. And that sometimes happens with newborns, so we go to plan B…capture them happy and wide awake.  We made it work and we had a gorgeous sunset to top it off! I loved spending my evening with the Alexander’s beautiful new addition…hope you enjoy!!

sweet Peyton

 Charlotte, NC   Family and Child Photography

 

Tracy & Ron have such a cool story, {not that all my families don’t…} but it’s yet one more thing I adore about my job. I get to tell the love story of Tracy and Ron… which equals the precious Peyton. The Singer Family is the real life Brady Bunch…both having 2 children prior, and now with their newest addition! We decided to have their first session mainly focused on Peyton (since she is still so new), and our next session soon with all the kiddos! I loved my time with them and we had tons and tons of laughs hanging outside on their gorgeous farm.  Peyton wasn’t into the whole “sleep” thing as we had hoped, but I am so happy I was able to capture her gorgeous eyes! I hope you enjoy a few sneak peeks of their lovely family!!

I love spending my morning with the Burton family!! They are seriously some of the kindest people…you just feel it the moment you meet them. All their kiddos were incredible and we’ve got some awesome memories for their walls to prove it! Hope you enjoy!!!
