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!

Photo Challenge : By the Book | Raleigh Cary Apex Durham Family Portrait Photographer

When I read the topic for this week’s photo challenge at I Heart Faces, I knew exactly which image I wanted to use!

This family session was a lot of fun because we worked together to somewhat stylize a picnic.  The Mom is SO talented, and her taste is impeccable!

I think it is so important for a couple to celebrate their relationship, as it is what keeps a family together & strong!  I was glad that these two allowed me to capture their love for each other.  So genuine.

Check out more ‘By the Book’ entries at I Heart Faces this week!

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 :)
