A few weeks ago I met with this adorable family to capture Aubrey’s 4th birthday and photograph some fun memories of a special Mommy-daughter time we never get back. (they grow up way too quickly) Ilana is such an incredible Mother, and Aubrey is for sure the center of her world. When we first started to “play” I noticed some dark clouds but we just kept going…hoping they’d just pass over quickly. {Little did I know it was going to be the craziest stormy night of my life.} They danced. They laughed. and I loved it just as much as they did. But within 20 minutes of starting, the skies opened up and let out all they had. Lightning was darting through the skies, with the thunder shaking us immediately after. We ran for cover, and again, hoped it would pass quickly. Not so much. So instead of ending there, we pushed through the rain and danced. The light was incredible…top 3 best lighting I’ve ever shot in for sure. We may have been insane to keep going in such a wild storm, but the outcome of images (and no injuries) was totally worth it this time to me! I hope they agree!! I loved spending the evening with them and can’t wait to watch beautiful Aubrey grow up! Hope you enjoy their moments…
ps- we watched people being saved from cars that were stuck in the flooding on the way home that night. Just so you really understand how ridiculous this storm really was.
While we waited for the rain to slow down or stop…precious Aubrey played in the drips off the roof. She watched with such wonder….
Turner {hello world}

I had such a wonderful morning with the Jakielski Family…meeting their newest addition, little Turner and their adorable doggies as well. Michael and Shannon welcomed their first little guy into the world almost 3 weeks before I got to meet him…so I was a tad nervous that he wouldn’t want to squish up like a brand new muffin- but to our surprise he was ready and willing. Their home is absolutely gorgeous…and had some of the coolest designs I’d ever seen. I loved all their fun colors and just the overall flow of their home. I have a slight love for textures, and their home fulfilled my texture craving for the day for sure! 🙂 They are the sweetest family and hopelessly in love with their lil Turner! (even their doggies) I hope you enjoy a few images from their session!

A family near and dear to my heart added another beautiful little girl to their growing family just recently…and I had been counting down the days to finally meet her! I love surprises, and none of us knew if this little muffin was a girl or a boy until she entered this world- so fun!! Little Miss Ellie is just perfect! She reminds me of her big sister, Mary Caroline. Since Christy and Trey didn’t do formal “newborn” photos with their first two little ones, they decided that it wouldn’t be fair to give little miss Ellie her own supermodel session either…so we captured the essence of their whole family. The kids are so excited to have a new sister…and that always makes me happy inside! And no, it is not normal to look this amazing after just delivering your 3rd baby- so don’t feel discouraged when you see how put together Christy is! 🙂 That’s just how Christy rolls…always pulled together perfectly and just as sweet as a peach. {yet another reason why we love her so much} The Williams Family truly radiate the love for each other that all families deserve to have…and those 3 little ones have a lifetime of fun and love ahead of them!! Enjoy…. xo
Remington {hello world}

Another gorgeous session is about to fill your hearts…The Bandy Family added a beautiful new little girl to their family, precious Remington. Remi was 6 days brand new when I finally got to meet her perfect little self. Meredith has been a sweet friend of mine since college {yes, lots of awesome & crazy memories attached with us!} and I just met Kirk for the first time when we did our session. Kirk is awesome. And seriously a perfect Daddy of all girls! It takes a special man to deal with all us women! They were so laid back and easy to photograph! We laughed at plenty of “outtakes” involving newborn bodily functions (typical), and big sister’s Peyton and Maddi were the best helpers EVER! I loved our time together…hope you enjoy their sweet moments as a new family!!!

We finally made our schedules work together to fit in a quick 3 month session for little Keira and her sweet family. Plus, I got to see Miss Lola on her preschool graduation day to top it off!! I miss seeing this family, but I am so grateful to have them in my life! Lola is turning 5 this month, Liam is 2 and baby Keira is 3 months now! Beautiful family and I hope you enjoy their peek!!!

I absolutely felt blessed to have captured this fabulous family’s sweet moments recently. The Rhyne Family actually won my session in a silent auction at the Yvette W. Ferris Foundation last year- so I know this session meant even more than the normal family session. Every penny went to a fantastic cause. Yvette is another extraordinary client of mine, not to mention inspirational on so many levels. If you’d like to know more about her foundation please visit http://www.ywff.org.
Back to the Rhyne’s…they were a blast to shoot. We laughed deep belly laughs and chatted non-stop. Davis and Katie are gorgeous blondies- that are just as well mannered and loving as they are beautiful. In the end, while saying goodbyes- Katie went into her car and came back with a little note that said “I love U” and on the other side it said “I love U a lot lot lot lot”. She made my week. I love what I do. I hope you enjoy their moments!!
PS- they couldn’t have picked a more perfect setting either. spectacular farm. 🙂

I am desperately trying to catch back up with all my blog entries…so bare with me on all these short write ups. I could talk about every session for hours, but I will keep it short and sweet for now! 🙂
Gianna (age 4) and Graham (these were taken 2 days before his 1st birthday!) were such happy and fun kiddos! Gianna wanted to dance and play and it was just a plus that her little brother got to come along as her partner too. They were so fun, beautiful and seriously full of life. I love real emotions, and children do not hide theirs at all. 🙂 Hope you enjoy!!
Stella 6 months

I am so happy that I finally got to see the happy & healthy Stella…our first session, at 3 months old, was rough for the lil peanut. Stella was a rockstar this time and happy as a little clam. She is such a cutie pie and her big baby blues suck you in!! I am so grateful that Meghan allows me to capture her precious stages and makes the hike up from Columbia, SC as well. I love watching babies grow up and change in front of my lens!! Hope you enjoy!!!

The Fallon Family invited me over to their family home up in Mooresville for a gorgeous morning session with their beautiful family. I enjoyed meeting them and capturing their precious little ones! Wyatt is a big boy but is only 8 months and Macy is 4! We had a great time and they were angels!! Enjoy!!

Linda, Brian and lil Boston are such a fun family to photograph. They are always ready to play with their cutie pie–which equals lots of happiness and tons of awesome pics! As usual I’ve had a hard time narrowing down all my favorites but I tried my best. Little Boston is almost two and FULL of personality. If I told her to do something or told her that I was going to come tickle her- she’d look straight at me, pointing a finger and say “no.” LOVE her and the lil diva inside!!! Hope you enjoy!!!
