12 Sweet Smiles | Raleigh Child Portrait Photography

December 11, 2013 1 Comment Children, Mini-Sessions, Portraits

I am so thrilled with how my mini sessions went this year, the weather, the location and most of all the wonderful families I photographed!

(Everyone arrived on time which is a double bonus!)

Unfortunately it is still too soon to share the family portraits (don’t want to spoil any holiday card surprises), so I put together a collage of the beautiful smiling faces I captured that day!

Hope it puts a smile on your face today

Meet beautiful Briana. Aspiring model and all around beauty!

We met downtown for her session on a perfect late fall afternoon. I had a few locations in mind, and we had a blast walking around finding new ones too!

A big thanks her Mom who joined us, and who quickly became my assistant and reflector holder extraordinaire!

Rabbit Rabbit Welcome December | Raleigh Family Photography

December 1, 2013 0 Comment Family, Mini-Sessions, Portraits

Hello there! Hard to believe it is December, isn’t it?

We have a little tradition where upon the first day of every month we say “rabbit rabbit” to each other. This ensures good luck for the duration of the month!

It must work, because I feel so lucky and thankful for all of you & my clients. 2013 has been my best year yet!

I have LOTS to blog in the upcoming weeks from all of the fabulous sessions & mini-sessions this fall.

Today I cap off my 2013 shooting season with two more family sessions,

and then it’s time to focus on my family& this joyous time of year

Here’s a sneak peek from one of my mini sessions last week. Can you believe the luck with the foliage?!

Hope your holiday weekend was bountiful & restful!

In The Holiday Spirit! | A Slice of Life | Raleigh Family Photographer

November 27, 2013 0 Comment A Slice of Life

It finally hit me yesterday that the holidays are HERE!

I’ve been very busy with shoots this month, so much fun, such a great thing!

I picked up my kids from school yesterday and they were SO happy to be on break. We stopped by the craft store for foam cones, and the dollar store for candy, put Christmas music on Pandora and crafted the rainy afternoon away. Perfection.

These candy trees are one of our yearly traditions. They are not completed yet, and I will share when they are done.

Have a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Excited to be posting more from Bailey’s awesome senior session today!

I can’t begin to tell you how sweet & kind this gorgeous girl is… you can tell in each and every one of her images.

We had a blast walking around downtown Raleigh, shooting where the wind took us!
