The Shait Family

Denver, NC Lifestyle Photography

 

I love that I have been photographing the Shait family long enough to go through so many special times in their lives…like this one currently–a baby BOY is on  his way!!! Big Sis Havens will be the perfect partner in crime for this new little man. Havens is my buddy and is in the “hopelessly in love with her Daddy” stage. She is beyond fun, so beautiful and extremely curious about the world around her. Can’t wait to meet the newest addition! 🙂 Enjoy!

 

 

 

Madeline {hi world}

Courtney, Rich and big brother Trey welcomed their precious little Madeline into the world just a short 8 days before I met her. She has the lips of a beauty queen, and is such a pretty peanut. And this little diva already has more bows awaiting her than I’ve had my entire life…love it. Hope you enjoy!!

 

 


The Switzer Family

Having three boys takes a family’s energy to the next level, I speak from experience…but I love it!  Had a great time capturing the Switzer family and all their energy! A beautiful family that I am proud to call friends.  Ryder, being the youngest was happy as long as he had a “weapon” in his hands at all times- yet again I can totally relate! Its so wonderful seeing how much the two older boys, Dax and Chance, love each other. (I remember the days of more tears then laughs.) We had awesome weather and gorgeous fall color…enjoy!!

Oh my, Jenna and Clay are awesome. Fun people, full of fun love & beautiful adoration for each other.  I had a great time hanging out with the two of them, and I’m sure they could see my craziness right away! Moments into picking up my camera, I mentioned that I smelled something nasty- only to realize I was kneeling in dog poo. awesome. These two are so easy going and fun…hope you enjoy!!

 

 

 

The Brockway Family

Davidson, NC  Family Lifestyle Photography

 

I cannot begin to explain how wonderful the Brockway Family is, but let’s just say I love them.  They have been a special part of my life since I was in 9th grade and I am so thankful to have them.  We took their photos at their home in Davidson, it is gorgeous and they have made it their happy haven, full of beauty. Aynsley has been a best friend since I can remember and her incredible parents have always been those loving, understanding & supportive parents for her and I both. Dr. Brockway has a calming strength when he’s near, strong love for his wife and daughter & wise beyond many human beings- on every level. Polly is beautiful and full of joyful love, the most incredible gardener I’ve ever known and all while taking care of her family.  Aynsley is beautiful inside and out, so smart and loyal. Some of the best memories I have are with Aynsley next to me! oh, and can’t forget Diesel, the handsome German Shepard that eats, sleeps and breaths for his Mommy, Ayns.  I enjoyed our evening so much…hope you enjoy their peek!!

 

 

 

{Hello World} Baby Kennedy

This has been a crazy busy couple of weeks, with all the new babies and fun family sessions- so I’m just now posting the recent session’s sneak peeks!
I spent a morning last week with a new family of four, David, Rachel, big sis Reagan, and the newest addition Kennedy! Kennedy decided she wasn’t going to nap the entire morning I was there- crazy for a 7 day old lil peanut.  She has piercing blue eyes and she wanted to show them off. Hope you enjoy her peek…

 

 

 

The Hammond Family

Once again, not shocking anyone that knows them, the Hammond family had another amazing session with me before I left town for the weekend. Mia, Anthony and Sophia are stunning along with their gorgeous parents, Missy & Gary. (aka- tan Barbie & Ken!) We have such fun stories from that evening of pics and I officially can say I will do a lot to get the great shot that I have dreamed up in my head. ha! 10,000 mosquito bites later, we have some GORGEOUS memories captured that are waiting to cover their walls! Enjoy…

The Mahaley’s welcomed sweet baby Ryder into this world 16 days ago, and I’m pretty sure they’re all still on cloud 9 with lil peanut. He looks identical to his big brother, Easton and I can’t wait to watch him grow up and change over the months and years! Hope you enjoy their peek…

 

 

The Peterson Family

Charlotte, NC Family & Children Photography

 

Loved spending my Sunday evening with the Peterson family–Ben & Gabe are such joys to be around. Ben is two, full of curiosity & fun. He was born blind, but spending 2 minutes with him you immediately notice that he is identical to all the other 2 year old little boys…rough, tough and ready to wrestle, yell and run around like crazy! His little brother, Gabe is 9 months and is trying hard to keep up with his big brother…he crawls crazy fast and I have a feeling he’ll be walking any day now. We had such a fun time hanging out and doing what toddlers do best–laughing & playing. Hope you enjoy…
