I Heart Faces Photo Challenge | Hey Girl! | Raleigh Cary Family Portrait Photographer

This month’s contest features photos of the female type!  Being that I have two daughters, I knew I had to participate.  (Although this image is not of my own daughter!)

I have an abundance of photos of my own girls that I just love.  But I found this one of my sweet-as-peaches nine month old niece, & our puppy.  She loves animals, and I just can’t help but laugh every time I see this picture – I just love her expression!  I knew I had to share this.

Head over to I Heart Faces to see more lovely girls!

A Morning with the Nikolichs | Greensboro Raleigh Family Portrait Photographer

Many moons ago, the Momma of this awesome family & I were roommates.

 A little history : Just out of college we had placed an ad in the paper for a fourth roommate (yes, we were broke), and she answered.  We became fast & fabulous friends.  A few years later she moved to another state, and I think I have seen her once or twice in the past 20 or so  years!  You know how some people you can just pick up where you left off?  Well, she’s definitely one of those people.  I am SO excited they are back in NC, and she has a truly awesome family.  Handsome & kind as can be hubby, and two active & adorable boys.  Life is good!

She asked me if I’d travel her way to capture some moments of their day, and I happily obliged.  It was a super fun (and slightly exhausting – all that young energy !) morning.  I love those boys and can’t wait to spend more time with them this summer!

This is not a park, but their backyard!  What an amazing landscape we had to work with.

All of these pictures make me smile, but this one really gets me every time!

A perfect pair :)

I LOVE this one, how you can see the edge of her smiling face.

Sweet fun on Daddy’s shoulders :)

Snack time … oh those eyes!  I just had to pick up my camera and take this shot.

.

Time to play out front – they were excited to ride their bikes!

.

Ooops, someone ran over Mommy’s foot and got a time out … I couldn’t resist :)

.

Beautiful Momma and her boys – I think this pictures says it all!

One more place we wanted to visit, the neighborhood park just around the corner …

Hello little toes :)

The were pretty over pictures at this point, so I had them playing peek out from behind Mom & Dad for this shot!

Your gorgeous J & I love you!

Last weekend I traveled to Greensboro to see an dear old friend of mine, that has recently moved to NC.  We go waaayyyyyyy back, and although we really didn’t keep in touch very often through the years, I am so glad that she & her family are back in my life!

We had a fun & very active session – the boys were just the sweetest!

I just had to pop in and share these with you …here are two of the cutest faces you’ve seen lately!

When I saw the subject of this month’s contest, I knew I had to enter.  If you didn’t know (or couldn’t tell!), I love love black & white.  Every image on the walls in my room at this moment is black and white!

I decided not to agonize over which image, and literally pick the first one I came across while skimming my image folders.

Ahhh, my sweet niece that visited my last month.  LOVE her.

Head over to I Heart Faces to see lots of black & white beauties this month!

Last night was the grand finale of the year of Cotillion for my son and his two buddies, the Cotillion ball.  I’ve seen my son in a tux one other time, and I’ll be honest, it gives me goose bumps and tears at the same time!  We did a session together, which I will most definitely write about.  For now, here’s one of the three of them that makes me smile a LOT!

Have a great Friday!
