Never, ever short of a ton of fun with this family!
Silly, uninhibited fun
I love this family as my own, and I am honored to capture their joy every year!
Happy Monday everyone!

I was thrilled when contacted by Sam’s Mom to shoot his senior session. You see, our daughters have been great friends since Kindergarten.
I didn’t really know Sam, except for chance meetings at their house. He was always smiling, listening to music or playing his guitar.
A cool dude!
Our session proved to be an easy going & fun afternoon. We started in downtown Raleigh, and rode around together stopping wherever we thought would be a choice spot to shoot. I LOVE sessions like this!
I had a spot in mind with blue brick, but then we found THIS brick.
Yes, live music while photographing is a huge perk
I think this session became a colored brick mission!
If you can remember a few years ago, I had my ‘colored wall’ that everyone wanted to be photographed by. They tore it down and now stand apartments.
I practically screamed ‘pull over here!’ when I saw this wall.
And look at that rock star, eh?!
The guy who loves Raleigh.
He had to have this pic. Rocked the end of day light.

Just wanted to pop in and share my good mood today!
The sun is finally shining, I had a great run this morning & feeling good. And tonight I have the image reveal for THIS beauty portrait shoot from a few weeks ago, and yes, there will be bubbly poured!!
I don’t think I shared this image yet, because I wasn’t sure how I wanted to edit it. You may remember the images this beautiful girl & her adorable siblings blogged HERE.
The background isn’t my favorite, but I added a texture and just love it now!
This image is also the inspiration for a project I am working on, that includes an adult sized version of this skirt and yet another lovely subject (I am so lucky) to bring the skirt alive.
I am creating the skirt based upon a recent workshop I viewed, and will be documenting the steps of my process & blogging it all (eventually!).
I am VERY excited & the shoot is a week from Sunday.
Have a great rest of your day~

I have known this family for a while, through school & summer swim team. The Mom is amazing and one of those super-volunteers that makes everything happen beautifully and effortlessly!
Sadly they moved out of our school district, so we don’t get to see them as much.
I have always had a fondness for these sweet & polite children, so when I booked this session I knew I was in for a real treat.
But I really had no idea!
This family is the epitome of a strong & loving family. And the kids, oh my goodness I honestly left this session wanting more! Wanting to take them with me!
We had so much fun and they all brought their best to this session.
I will start with my favorite shot of the session.
“All you need is love …”
.
A close second favorite, so genuine, so happy …

Mom & I met up to shop for the outfits for this session. We had a great time picking and choosing the fresh colors of Spring clothing.
Now I have to say, she is a bit of a black & white ‘junkie’ like me. However, we designed two wall displays for her home, and they are ALL color images!
(I will share her choices & designs in the next blog post – awesome!)
.
Beautiful Miss E. The big sister. So bright, so smart and very sweet
.
Mr. N. Stole my heart. A kind soul & huge amounts of positive energy!
What a Q.T. Pie
.
If you are my fan on Facebook, you have seen this pic.
I just can’t get enough of it! I want to hang it in my own home!
(If you want to be a fan & follow my page, click HERE. I’d love to see you there!)
.
And the baby of the family. Sweet, spunky, and a little heart breaker! (She told me she has two boyfriends at this time lol!)
.
And the icing on the cake… three siblings that truly love each other, although they may not admit it in public
Great job Mom & Dad!
.
Thank you again Lund family for a truly enjoyable session!

I am sorry it’s been over a week since I’ve blogged. No real excuse except this busy life! I have been shooting a lot, and do have several sessions to share with you, hoping to blog at least one today. Spring break is here and we are headed down to Florida for a week! Packing up my family & errand running may trump blogging, we’ll see
I’ve been wanting to write this post for a while. A few weeks ago I was invited to my friend Dawn’s house for an oyster roast. You may remember her gorgeous children from this blog post HERE.
We were hanging out, eating oysters & drinking a cold one, when Dawn introduced me to her friend. Her friend said, “Oh my gosh, are you that fun confetti photographer?” I laughed because first of all, I still get excited when people call me a photographer And secondly, the fun confetti photographer. Loved it. Yes, I want to be that person. Wait, I AM that person! Sweet!
The whole confetti fun started with my daughter’s 14th birthday, and it trickled down into several sessions from there.
Here are some of my favorites from my fun confetti journey. Hope it brings a smile to your day!
And where it all started, with my girl…
And a favorite short video clip of my youngest to end this post …

Be back soon!
