I was so delighted when this wonderful mom of twin boys contacted me to shoot their holiday card photos this year.
You may remember these twin boys from their newborn photos (here). I had the privilege of assisting the amazing Melissa of Melissa Devoe Photography with their newborn shoot.
Fast forward eleven months, and these boys have big smiles, teeth popping through and are crawling all over the place!!
Pure cuteness!!!
.
The boys responded well to my ‘peek-a-boos’ for the first few clicks …
.
Then we tried sitting and my ‘peek-a-boos’ didn’t work at all … these little guys wanted to move!
I still chuckle when I see this image – a funny moment …
Time to play!
Mom, you’re beautiful, and your love for your children shines like a star …
And off they go …
One of the extreme pleasures of my job is watching families and children grow. Life is amazing and wonderful 
Thank you for sharing your babies with me! I hope I see you next year, and will be sure to be wearing running shoes if so!

Meet Madeline and Ethan. Their Mom & I have been trying for quite some time to schedule this session. We’ve been having a mild fall here in NC, but wouldn’t you know it was quite chilly the morning of their session? I’m glad we kept our date, and it makes me smile to think back on our session. The kids were just so great!
Ethan is a child with special needs. Photographing a child with cerebral palsy was a little bit challenging, but with the help of big sister everything went very smoothly and we had a lot of chuckles! Madeline is the most amazing and patient big sister I have ever met. Both were truly a joy to photograph, but I just can’t get over the unending laughter grins of Ethan.
Just precious!
How can you NOT smile looking at this?
This is pure joy!
Madeline is in middle school, so we had a little fun creating some glam for her:)
So pretty!
Thanks again Jennifer for sharing your children with me !

You may remember Angela from her gorgeous boudoir session (HERE). As if she wasn’t in great enough shape, she decided to tackle a three month cross fit program to take her fitness and figure to the next level!
I met with her in her home to start her session. I brought my studio lighting gear, and we captured some of her awesomeness.
Lucky for me she had an assistant on hand … the cutest most energetic assistant I have ever had!
He helped me smooth my gray paper on the floor…
Now that’s a true set of baby blues…
.
Gorgeous fit momma …
Hard work pays off!
My assistant was busy supervising the shoot, but then decided he wanted to be a part of the action.
I’m SO glad he did!
.
We finished the fitness pictures, jumped in the car and headed to a local park to play & capture some fun images!
Thank you Angela for another great session & for sharing your amazing little man with me!

I was thrilled when my girlfriend of many years asked me to photograph her children this year. We used to hang out a lot when they lived in our neighborhood, but they’ve since moved away. We do our best to see each other as often as life allows, but sadly it’s just not often enough!
These children are super kind and you can tell from the pictures how much they really love each other!
This session was held at their house and I loved incorporating their beautiful home into their photos. There really is no place like home, especially this fabulous daybed on their screened in porch!

It was a perfect North Carolina fall day! The weather was simply divine – we stayed outside for the rest of the session and found lots of gorgeous color!

Thank you mother nature for the breeze that so perfectly arrived for this image…
