In the NIC of Time {Cottie & Cake}

Charlotte, NC Event Photographer

June 1, 2012 at the Duke Mansion

 

Cottie & Cake and the Hampton Family hosted an incredible event last night, and I am so thankful I was able to be a part of it. The charity event raised money for the Charlotte Levine Children’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.  They are doing some amazing things there and growing better every day. Meghan & Steve Hampton spent a lot of time in the NICU and have been touched by it tremendously. Here are a few shots from the incredible night…

 

The Elliot Family

Love Dana, Rob and lil Clara…and we had fun as usual!!! We ran into a few minor road bumps this session…mainly ticks! YUCK!!! I hate ticks! And so did they! There was also a lovely population of poison ivy covering the entire property, so we were jumping all over the place to avoid it! Clara is 18 months now and is full throttle…wants to go off on adventures and loves her Mommy & Daddy bunches!! Hope you enjoy their photos…

 

Amanda {Senior 2012}

Denver, NC photographer  {Senior Lifestyle Session}

Amanda is soon to be graduating from Mooresville High School and is super excited to be starting college at UNC Greensboro this Fall…and playing golf too! Amanda and I had fun making her the superstar…and I also had a blast laughing with her parents! Great great people and I wish Amanda the best of luck next year! Hope you enjoy her peek…

Lindsey + Drew = CARTER

Tega Cay, South Carolina Children’s Photographer

 

{Newborn Session}

 

Loved getting to know Lindsey and Drew this morning, and meeting their squishy & handsome new baby boy, Carter. He arrived into this world 3 weeks early and is 8 days new today. Such a precious little guy.  He was a superstar too…slept most of the time, pooed on his Daddy and showed off his strength by getting his arms out of his swaddle blanket. Guess it’s all in a day’s work for a rockstar baby. I couldn’t believe how big my teeny Kolty looked next to their little one…made me miss his newborn days. Hope you enjoy their sneak peek…

 

Baby Reynolds

 

Shelby, North Carolina Maternity Photographer

 

Caroline and Joe are expecting their first little bundle of joy in 5 weeks and I know they just can’t wait to meet him. Throughout the pregnancy they were told they were having a little girl, well- up until a week ago, when they discovered their little miracle is actually a handsome little boy. I can’t even imagine the shock they’ve been through in the past week. But both Mommy & Daddy are super-model tall…so they may have the next NBA star in their future. 🙂 I met them out on their 400 acre farm near Shelby and had such a great time playing with their horses…I didn’t want to leave. Caroline & Joe are going to be awesome parents very soon! Enjoy…

 

The Spivey Divas

{Lifestyle Session}

 

These cute lil Spivey girls made my afternoon (as usual). They always have the cutest outfits and the best lil diva poses! I keep having to remind them to play…not to pose like supermodels the entire time! Ella is about to be FOUR so she had her own fashion photo shoot, and Lily just turned ONE so she had an adorable outfit change as well. We had a ball and I could probably photograph these girls all day everyday…so much fun! Hope you enjoy…

 

The Beach vs The Romanos

May 27, 2012: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina photographer

{Lifestyle/Family Session}

 

So, my little secret is I have been at the beach for a week, doing no laundry, no dishes, no cooking and no editing…it has been somewhat heavenly. But no worries, I did not leave my camera at home…it came with me and so do the Romano Family! The Romanos packed it up and met us at the beach so we could get some spectacular beach photos to add to their walls of portraits! They are fun and will show their wild spirits in all their pictures…makes my heart smile. Hope you see the love I see…

 

 

Cousin FUN!

May 27, 2012: Huntersville, NC photographer  {Lifestyle session}

 

Photographing 5 children is a difficult task…but oh so much fun. I was sweating and I know everywhere with us was too! These 5 cousins are so sweet though. Flowers, fields and a gorgeous setting sun added to their beauty…and their Mimi is hopelessly in love with all of them too. She seemed to want to be their best friends for life- love that!! Hope you enjoy a few of their fun pictures!!

 

Spencer & Lydia

May 12, 2012: Huntersville, NC  {Lifestyle/Family session}

 

I went to high school with these sweet kiddie’s Mom & Dad…great people, and awesome kids! Can’t get enough of fun, adventurous red heads! 🙂 We did a morning session in the bright sunshine in a field of wet buttercups…I had a great time and the kids loved climbing everything in sight! Matthew should be an inspiration to all Dad’s out there- he got the kids up and dressed (nicely too) all by 8:30am, rock star in my books for sure! Hope you enjoy their peek…

 

The Camp Family

May 11, 2012: Fort Mill, SC  {Lifestyle/Family Session}

 

The Camp family met us yesterday at the beautiful Dairy Barn in South Carolina, and we had a fun time strolling around and learning all about their blonde kiddies! Annabel and Lily enjoyed their time running around and searching for horses, and to end off our session—we found some! I love a horse-loving family! Hope you enjoy their sneak peek…
