I was excited to shoot in the midwood plaza area, and to play with the sweet Peterson boys…and all those ingredients together made AWESOMENESS!  Ben & Gabe are so precious and I love how different they are!! But they’re both equally gorgeous!! Check out their cuteness!!

The Ray Family

The Ray Family is fabulous. period. I love their beautiful, large family.  All 5 of their kiddos were so incredibly behaved…even after they opened up and relaxed. They are such a joy to photograph and have such a deep love for one another.  This Mom & Dad are doing something right! 🙂  I hope to see them all again soon…and I am sure I did quite the abdominal workout that evening from all the laughing!! Enjoy their peek!!!

The Koster Family

Cornelius, NC   Family photography, Child Photography

 

Can you imagine having 4 beautiful children all with stunningly blonde hair and bright blue eyes??? WOW!!! The Koster Family has to get looks everywhere they go, because in all the years I’ve photographed families I had never seen four toeheads until now! The Kosters were incredible to photograph…beyond the obvious (being gorgeous), they were so so fun and laid back.  Their children were so well behaved but still played and enjoyed themselves. I adore how they seem to take care of one another and love each other so much! I am so blessed to get the opportunity to photograph and become friends with such awesome families!!  Enjoy their lil peek!!

oh and ps- their baby Emmy just turned 1 so we had a fabulous cake smash to celebrate!!! enjoy!!

The Rheault Family

Charlotte, NC    Family Photography, Child Photography

 

Nothing is more thrilling for me then a large and fun family. Yes, I know, I sound crazy. But it’s my truth. I enjoy the challenge and all the high energy.  I am driven by people and their energy so it’s 100% up my alley. It brings so much joy to me to watch a large family playing and interacting together.  In my heart I feel like it is what makes this world go round.  The Rheault Family succeeded in all these things in my eyes! Their handsome twin boys slept on their way to meet me, so in the beginning we were trying to wrangle them into a happy place…but their precious littlest man, Bentley made up for that with his happiness. I loved how peaceful & loving their Mom, Suzie was and how fun and loving their Dad, Matt was! Henry and Carson eventually woke up all the way and were ready to show me their fabulous sides of fun. The sun was breath-takingly gorgeous and our final product makes me smile from ear to ear.

Enjoy their family joy.

The Sink Family

Denver, NC    Family Photography, Children Photography

 

How could you not adore the Sink family?? I wanted to hang out at their house all night! We had rescheduled their session too many times to count (lovely summer weather) so we were determined to make it work this time!!! We quickly figured out that staying inside their home was NOT the answer to happy and fun kiddos!!! Outside we went…and the fun began! Their girls are to die for and I would easily keep them as my own. Such a fun family to photograph and you can see it in all their images!! Enjoy!!

Kolton {hello world}

Huntersville, NC    Newborn Photography, Family Photography

 

What a wonderful little surprise it was to meet the beautiful Kiser family recently, and their brand new addition- Kolton.  I met them at a friend of their family’s home for their fun outdoor session- and quickly realized how small of a world it really is.  My Daddy grew up with the sweet man that allowed us to use his property and fabulous “toys” for our session. I love living so close to the town that I grew up in…it will always be home. 🙂 Good southern gentlemen are priceless.

Kolton was absolutely a dream for his entire session. He almost slept the whole 2-3 hours we played and let his sister snuggle all over him.  He is such a handsome baby boy. all 10lbs of him! 🙂 I loved their session, and their precious family!! Hope you enjoy it too!!

The Preslar Family

Charlotte, NC   Family and Child Photography

I had such a fun (and hot too) morning with the Preslar Family!  Their precious girls Claire & Ella Grace are 6 months old now, and it seems like we were just doing their newborn session a few weeks ago! They are an incredibly sweet family with so much love for their little girls, and I am 100% positive it is all teamwork all day and night long to master life!  Although it got hot fast (thank you summer for finally showing up), we still got a bunch of fun captured.  Humor has kept these 4 going so strong…and I love it!

Enjoy!!

a QUICK personal hi

Charlotte, NC   Child Photography

 

One evening when my three lil trouble makers were driving me to the crazy house…I decided to load them into the car, grabbing their shoes,  jeans, swords, and my camera and head to ANYWHERE to let them run and be wild. (almost forgot to mention it was 90 degrees and I added our two 4-legged children into the car as well) Within 7 mins from exiting the car, we were already done and ready to go home for water, cortisone cream and water. Let’s just say. the least number of mosquito bites on any of us was 19—and that was me for some odd reason. But I did grab a couple fun shots of the little men to wrap up our fun summer of 2013.  They are still crazy about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers for now, and just hoped on the Skylanders crazy train recently. joy. Cade just turned five (WHAT? I cannot believe I am actually writing that), Jax just turned 3 and Kolt is 20 months! These boys grow and change so much…it’s so bittersweet. We are truly blessed and I am grateful for every single moment I get to spend with them!! Hope you enjoy!!
