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.
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 “K” family
Look at these little cuties! From the moment I saw them get out of the car, I knew we were going to have a good session. Mom picked out some super cute outfits for them and the girls rocked them! They were so cooperative and great during their session, I had so much fun with them!
