Little man “H” turns 1! | Raleigh child & family photographer
Another one of my sweet newborns has just turned one! It seems like time is just flying by lately. Look at this handsome little fellow and his beautiful family. I used to work with his Dad and love the opportunity to get to catch up with him during our photo shoots together. They are such a fun family and I’ve loved getting the opportunity to watch their family grow. We spent a gorgeous Saturday morning down at Yates Mill park to capture this important milestone. This little man has just learned to walk so trying to capture him still was a bit of a challenge, but when I did he was always flashing the biggest, sweetest smile. I could feel myself smiling behind the camera just looking at him. It’s contagious! Of course big sister has a beautiful smile as well, it just took a little while for her to warm up to me. She was a great helper though getting her brother to laugh and help him walk around. She is definitely enjoying being a big sister. Thanks so much for coming to see me “H” family. It was great getting to see you all again and see how big the little ones have gotten. Enjoy your sneak peek!
Happy 1st Birthday “JF” | Raleigh child photographer
So bittersweet! I love getting to see my newborns grow up, but that means time is just flying by! I spent a gorgeous Saturday afternoon with “JF” and his parents. They are such a sweet family and I have truly enjoyed getting to know them over the last year. This sweet boy is so stinking cute and has the most amazing blue eyes. He was so relaxed and quiet during out session. I think he was just enjoying the nice weather and maybe wondering what the crazy singing and dancing lady with the camera was all about. Thank you for sharing the past year with me and honoring me with capturing “JF’s” first year milestones.
Happy 1st Birthday! | Raleigh child and family photographer
Look who’s already turning 1! This sweet baby girl! Time has flown by, I feel like we just did her 9 month session and now she is 1. She’s also mobile now, not only walking – but running. Needless to say this photo session wasn’t as easy as she just wanted to go, go, go. She’s still just as happy and smiley. Big sister is growing so fast as well, and looked so beautiful in her Easter finest and beautiful hair.
Easter mini-sessions – “M” & “C” – Raleigh child photographer
Look at these two beauties. “M” & “C” are both celebrating birthdays. “C” just turned 1 and “M” will be turning 4 soon. We took the opportunity to take some pictures to help mark the occasion. The weather wasn’t exactly pleasant, and poor “C” was not feeling well. We made the best of it though. “M” was so great with the bunny. She was quite, and gentle and loving – enough so that the bunny just fell asleep in her lap. She took such good care of it. She also helped try to get smiles out her baby sister. Such sweet girls!
Easter Mini’s – “J” – Raleigh child photographer
This little boy has been coming to see me since he was in his mommy’s tummy. They are one of my very first clients and I am so thankful to be able to watch their little boy grow up. While his session didn’t go quite as planned, it did go like a typical 18 month old boy session would go. Mom was out of town for the first time so dad and “J” came to see me yesterday. At first I thought the session might be a complete disaster. “J” was not exactly thrilled to see me (thank you 18 month separation anxiety). So I decided to pull out the bunny to get him to come over to me. I was hoping to save the bunny for later so I could get a few regular shots first, but so much for my plan. While he was interested enough to come see the bunny, as soon as we put it down he lost it. Poor little guy, he looked traumatized. So we put bunny back in his cage. That’s when he got REALLY interested. Cages have doors – that open and close and well, 18 month old boys are fascinated by these things. So open and close we did. Again. and Again. and Again. Finally towards the end of the session I thought I’d give it one last shot to see if he wanted to see the bunny – and he did! He even gave the bunny hugs and held him. Success, mostly =) I know it didn’t go how we envisioned, but I still think we did great. It was at least great to get to see you guys again! Happy Easter!
