Baby WALT {hi new world}

Charlotte, NC   Newborn & Child Photography

 

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this little peanut! Baby Walt is so tiny and precious. Oh, and so loved. And his gorgeous big sister is super excited…she danced, sang and kept a close watch on her new lil buddy. Bri and Matt are so happy to have their new addition to their family…and I just know the chaos of being parents has just begun! Not to mention the fact that Matt is back in school (full time) and working full time as well. hello busy family. I am so glad I got to enjoy an afternoon with these precious people…and cannot wait to watch their love continue to grow as a family of four! Enjoy their beauty and their handsome addition, Mr. Walt.

Justin {hello world}

Denver, NC  Newborn Photography

 

I am excited to post these photos of this adorable new family…The Bennett Family. Precious little Justin was 8 days brand new when we got to play baby dolls with him. He was an angel and slept wonderfully- and even gave us some fun time with him wide awake. We had lots of laughs and captured his new little squishy self. Hope you enjoy!!

The Valentine Family

Charlotte, NC   Family and Lifestyle Photography

I am so lucky to have met yet another incredible family last weekend, the Valentine Family. {such a perfect name for this exciting Valentine’s day!} Jessica, Brandon and lil William welcomed a new member to their family about a month ago- John David.  William and I became best buds by the end of my session, and I could easily slip him into my purse and steal him away to my home! Such a fun family with lots of happy times ahead with these 2 handsome little boys! Hope you enjoy…

Duncan + Chelsea

Davidson, NC  Lifestyle Photography

 

Chelsea and I chatted quite a few months back about setting up a session for her engagement photos with her fiance Duncan…and many months later (crazy fall & Christmas sessions had already filled the books), we finally meet!! Of course we had great weather for a few days, then the day of our session it was freezing and gloomy! But they rocked it and were such troopers the entire time.  These two have such a beautiful life ahead of them, and I am so happy to share some of their love with you! Their wedding is this Fall up in New York…I look forward to seeing lots of gorgeous photos from their big day! Enjoy!!!!

Braelyn Grace

Cornelius, NC  {Children Photography}

I will never forget the day {actually the exact moment} when my best friend & college roommate called me to tell me she was pregnant…I never would have imagined that 6 years later I would be photographing this beautiful blessing completely awestruck. Braelyn entered this world with me in the room next door and I am quite sure I had about the same amount of sleep as her mother, but my world was changed forever. I knew I would love this lil angel as if she were my own, and I did. I do. Braelyn Grace is a photographer’s dream. She is not only the most stunningly beautiful child I have ever seen, she is just as sweet, kind, & brilliant. She is a precious jewel. I would photograph her every day if I had her close by. In other words, she will leave you speechless and wondering why she isn’t famous yet.

Lovely Sophia {9 months}

Denver, NC  {watch me grow} Children Photography

 

Sweet Sophia is already 9 months old, and more stunning every time I see her. It was so so cold on the day of her session, so most of our pics were indoors. (happy faces for all of us!) She is so so cute, I could just squeeze her! Enjoy!

Maleena {Hello World}

Cornelius, NC  Newborn Photography

 

Well friends, this is it for 2012…my final session (or so I think, currently). I have tried cutting myself off prior to the 16th of December, but with no luck. But I am so glad I hadn’t stopped yet, this lil Maleena rocked her first photoshoot. She slept like an angel and her big brother and sister got an extra chance to snuggle her. She is 12 days new and is absolutely perfect!!! I had such a great time with her and her family…and I am so happy for them! Welcome to the world of a family of 5!! Enjoy!

 

ps- and no, this won’t be my final post of 2012…I’ll post a few personals before long! 🙂

The Monastra Kiddies

Charlotte, NC  Children Photography

 

I am so glad I was able to squeeze in the Monastra family before Christmas this year…I was worried we were running out of time!! They have 4 beautiful children and I was so happy to get to hang out with them for the afternoon!  Jason (the oldest) is close to that “I’m too cool to smile” age but handsome, Taylor (the older daughter) is beautiful and just glows, Evan (the youngest son) is just precious…I could pinch him and lil miss Maggie is their gorgeous little 4 month old peanut, who steals the show—as lil princess babies should. 🙂 Hope you enjoy!!
