{Hello World} lil Jennings

Huntersville, NC  Newborn Photography

 

It’s such a fun surprise when I am contacted by a family for photos and we figure out we actually know each other already…I went to high school with Adam, the daddy of precious Jennings. Emily and Adam are just the cutest, so laid back and easy going! (my type of people!) It makes a newborn session 100 times easier when everyone just goes with the flow. Jennings is their second lil peanut–Carson, the BIG sister is 19 months and full of spunk! Blonde and blue eyed doesn’t do her justice either–she is the blondest I’ve ever seen! Jennings is 8 days NEW and is an angel. Gorgeous features, fuzzy blonde hair and perfectly wrinkly!! I had such a blast with their beautiful family! Check them out…

ps- I love their splash of carolina blue and white representing their Alma mater: UNC 😉

 

 

 

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 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–

 

The Kugler Family

Lake Norman, North Carolina  Family Photography

 

I am so behind on my blog posts this week– I apologize!! It’s been a whirlwind week with tons of sessions and editing…and my three wild boys have been non-stop as well!

Loved meeting the Kugler Family! They made the trek up to the lake area from the other side of the city, lake Wylie. Petyon (2) gave made me work to break through to her silly side, and sweet Griffin (1) instantly smiled from ear to ear! We played, picked grapes off the vines and hunted for “farm cats” as Peyton would say! At the end of our session we let Griffin have his way with an awesome smash cake!! First birthdays are so much fun and make for fabulous, messy pictures!! Hope you enjoy their sneak peek…

 

OH I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS BEAUTY WE MET TOO…a writing spider!!!
