Farewell Summer Break | Raleigh Portrait Photography

August 25, 2013 0 Comment A Slice of Life, Portraits

We concluded over the family dinner table tonight that we had the best summer ever.

As the years pass (and too quickly they are), I find myself longing for more summer break. More time to laugh, lay around & read, swim, travel, play & just BE. No schedules.

I had big dreams of portrait series of my babes this summer, but slimmed that down and stepped away from my camera more than ever. I watched with my two eyes instead of my lens. Happy!

But of course I did get a few pics, so I will always remember these sweet faces at these stages in our lives.

Elementary school. 5th grade, Age 10

Middle School. 7th grade, Age 11

High School. 9th grade, Age 14

If you’d like to see my simple light set-up for these portraits, you can read about it HERE.

Hope everyone has a great week!

P.S> My mini-sessions (click HERE for details) & full session calendar are aabout full for 2013, please message me asap if you are interested in a session this fall. Would love to ‘shoot’ you

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge | Jump!

August 6, 2013 6 Comments I Heart Faces

Although I love to spectate these fun contests run at I Heart Faces ,

it’s been a while since I’ve entered one. Call it lack of time, or laziness … !

When I read this theme I knew exactly which image I would enter, which is the other half of the battle.

I had just received these prop skirts in the mail, and my daughter was wearing them around the house begging to be photographed. So we headed outside in the rain and I captured my aspiring ballerina jumping a puddle.

Check out more fun jumping shots at I Heart Faces today!

Wow this summer is literally flying by! Hard to believe it’s August already (and has been for almost a week lol!) Took a little trip with my husband and youngest this past weekend, the beautiful city that is Chicago & a side road trip to Iowa City for a wedding.

We had an amazing time – it’s always nice to get away, and especially to focus on one child
