Yates Mill Park
Sweet Sisters | Raleigh child and family photographer
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!
The “G” family – Raleigh family photographer
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 =)
I love this family! Not only are they great friends with our family but they are great neighbors as well. I of course was more than happy to capture some updated family photos for them. I wasn’t sure how it would go since the little ones know me so well. I figured they would be more interested in playing and checking things out, but boy they surprised me. They did great! I’ll have to admit the out takes are my favorites, but I’ll save those for mom and dad first and then do a blog post later on. It’s funny to see how kids wear exactly how they are feeling right there on their faces, no hiding it. You can easily see at what point in the shoot they were done with it!
