What a beautiful fall morning to spend with a beautiful family! Baby “M” just celebrated her first birthday recently. I was honored to be able to capture some one year portraits for her, and now to capture some family portraits for the holiday season. Even though “M” had a cold, she was so sweet and full of smiles! I loved watching those big, baby blue eyes light up every time she smiled – which was often!
I woke up today and could not speak – at all. I completely lost my voice. Great for my kids, not so much for my session! How was I going to get the attention of a 2 year old and 2 month old with no voice?? To say I was nervous about this session was an understatement but with a full calendar I didn’t have room to reschedule so I braved it. To my amazement my hoarse, barely there whisper did not scare off big sister “S”. In fact by the end of the session we were off by ourselves playing Simon Says, although it was more like charades =) Needless to say the session went well and we got some great shots. Mom and dad were super understanding and helped me with getting everyone situated since I couldn’t communicate very well. You have such a sweet and beautiful family, and I’m sorry I wasn’t 100 percent today. I enjoyed getting to know you and capture this time in your lives for you, and I hope you enjoy your pictures!
I got to spend my morning with this handsome fella today! I can’t believe he is 6 months old already. It seems like I just took his newborn photos. Isn’t he just ADORABLE! He’s got the most beautiful blue eyes and smile. He’s just learning to sit up and actually loved lying on his back for me. Most babies at this age try to roll over or worm away from me, but not “JF”. He just lied there and gave me the cutest little faces and smiles. He made my job easy today! It was so nice to see him again, and mom and dad. I love to see my families, you can tell how much they are loving watching their little baby grow up!
I got to spend a beautiful fall morning with the “G” family. Grandma and Grandpa are visiting from out of state and baby “L” recently turned 6 months so it was the perfect time to go take some pictures. Mom had seen pictures from Yates Mill and thought that would be the perfect location. It had rained earlier in the morning so things were a bit wet, but it actually worked to our favor since there was plenty of water coming over the falls. Both big sister and little sister were very cooperative and gave us plenty of smiles. Normally having 6 people in a picture can be hard as someone is almost always looking the other way, or blinking but this family did great and we got plenty of great shots. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek “G” family, and thank you for coming to see me again. I love getting to see your girls grow up =)
It seems like I just had a session with this blue eyed beauty. The last 6 months have flown by and now she is turning one next weekend. She still has those amazing baby blues, and now she has two cute little bottom teeth to add to her adorable smile. We met at the Raleigh rose garden to enjoy some beautiful fall weather and blooms. Mom brought along some balloons to celebrate the occasion and then we took some fall themed pictures with some pumpkins and an adorable smocked dress. She looked so cute in everything it was hard to narrow down her images! Here’s your sneak peek mom and dad! I’ll see you in a few weeks for your holiday session =)
