Valentine’s Day Mini-Sessions 2012! | Raleigh Cary Apex Family Child Photographer

This mild winter weather makes me want to take pictures!

Not only are mini-sessions are a great way to try out custom photography, they are an easy & economical way to update your chil and/or family photos.  Think about how happy Grandma will be to get a new photo of your little darling!  Think about how thrilled your little darling will be to hand out a valentine with his or her PHOTO on it!  Simply attach to a gift bag of candy and they’ll be the star of the classroom :)

2011: A (Spectacular!) Year in Review | Raleigh Cary Apex Photographer

Wow.  I am somewhat speechless at this moment.  I just spent the last few hours viewing my image galleries from 2011, and reflecting upon every session that I was lucky enough to be a part of.  My heart is so full of thankfulness, and my eyes are full of disbelief that I met and photographed so many fun & fabulous people!  Seriously, someone pinch me already!

These images are only a very small representation of what I adore & what I am proud of this year.

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me to capture your precious smiles & memories.

Looking forward to seeing many of you again in 2012!

The J Twins ~ Sweet Angels | Raleigh Durham Cary Apex Child Newborn Photographer

 

A few weeks ago a fellow photographer friend of mine was looking for an assistant for her newborn twin photo shoot.  Lucky for me, I was available.  I’ve only done one newborn shoot, and it was almost two years ago, so I was ready to get my feet wet again.  Nothing compares to hands on experience!

These two little miracles were so good for us.  They only fussed when they were hungry, and responded well to our patting and shushing :)  It took a whole lot of patience to get them to stay in these poses, but was it ever so worth it!

I was hoping for a newborn smile … definitely a favorite image from this year:

This blanket is extra special because their recently passed Grandmother made it for them before they were born:

We played with one while the other was being fed.  Look at how GOOD he is … just staring at me, and dare I say he smiled for me too! (Cute little wrinkly forehead – loved it)

Dashing in this hat, don’t you think?

Many special blankets made for these sugar plums :

I love this last shot because I love to think that throughout their entire lives, they will always have each other.

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I did!

I Believe

We met the most incredible Santa this past week.   He was a storybook Santa, not only in looks, but the way he smiled and interacted with my daughter.

I’m not kidding when I say I believe – just look at him – it’s the REAL Santa!

I was tearing up behind the lens for this image … my last child to truly 100% believe in Santa.  Where does the time go?  Enjoy every moment, that’s for sure!

Oh, and not only did we meet the real Santa, but my Elf on a Shelf has come to life too …

Ha ha ha!

Images from a newborn twin shoot coming up next…

Monday Favorite | Raleigh Cary Durham Apex Family Photographer

The holiday orders are flowing and the Christmas shopping is going … the crickets are chirping here on the site, but I do have lots to share with you soon!

Here’s a recent favorite that makes my heart smile :

I am so glad this client went with the black & white – to me it enhances the spirit of the moment.

Have a great week … hopefully I’ll see you before the end of it!
