Awaiting baby sister | Wake Forest maternity photographer
Let’s just start by saying I loved this session. I already knew it would be a great session because this is such a sweet family I’ve had the pleasure of photographing and getting to know. Then add a beautiful spring evening and gorgeous light and it was just perfect. Mom and I have been talking about this session for a little while. I knew she was not crazy about typical maternity pictures but still wanted to capture this important time in their lives. So I really wanted to capture some pictures that would not only do that, but that she might actually love. This also really gave me the opportunity to shoot images that I like to shoot, or that I would love for myself. After taking them on a little walk off the beaten path and into a not so pretty looking field, we captured some amazing images. I cannot thank this family enough for not even questioning me but just trusting me. Big sister “AK” was such a trooper. She didn’t complain at all and was her usual happy self. You can tell she is excited about her new baby sister and is going to be so good with her. Thank you “G” family for another great session and for getting me excited about shooting again. I can not wait to meet your new addition!
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!
Sisters and sunshine | Raleigh child photographer
I spent a beautiful January afternoon with these cuties! Big sister “N” just celebrated her 3rd birthday and “L” is already 9 months old. Time is sure flying by! From the moment I pulled up sweet “N” was full of energy and had lots to tell me about her birthday last week. We laughed, we sang songs, we ran, and climbed and ran some more. The best part for me were all the smiles. The best part for “N” was no doubt the lollipop she got at the end of the session. She literally savored every second of unwrapping it until the first lick. She is growing up so fast and at times it felt like she was 13 vs. 3. Thanks for coming out to see me “G” family, it was a pleasure as always. You have such a beautiful family!
Raleigh fall mini-sessions – The “J” family
My streak of adorable little girls continues with the “J” family and their two beauties. I cannot believe that baby “C” is already almost 8 months old. It feels like I just did her newborn pictures! Don’t even get me started on big sister “M” either. She is growing up so fast, and turning into such a big girl. She was full of smiles and sweet innocence today. She was a great helper with her little sister and quite a little poser for me. Our session flew by and was full of so many great images. I wish I could share them all! Hopefully these will help with the wait for the full gallery – I think they are ADORABLE!! So good to see you again “J” family! I hope you have an amazing holiday season!
