Farewell Summer Break | Raleigh Portrait Photography

We concluded over the family dinner table tonight that we had the best summer ever.

As the years pass (and too quickly they are), I find myself longing for more summer break.  More time to laugh, lay around & read, swim, travel, play & just BE.  No schedules.

.

I had big dreams of portrait series of my babes this summer, but slimmed that down and stepped away from my camera more than ever.  I watched with my two eyes instead of my lens.  Happy!

But of course I did get a few pics, so I will always remember these sweet faces at these stages in our lives.

Mr. P | Preview | Raleigh Family Photography

Today was so amazing. Although I am stepping away from work a bit this summer, I just had to say yes this opportunity to photograph the newborn of a recent client.

It is such a joy to have clients come back to me to photograph the milestones in their lives.  I feel like my friendship and family circle never stops growing and that makes my heart so  happy 🙂

The love & happiness I felt today was overwhelming, and little Mr. P was one of the sweetest and most mellow little men I’ve met lately.

The George Family | Raleigh Family Portrait Photography

What a pleasure to photograph this beautiful family.

Kind, outgoing & just plain happy together!

I first met Mom & the oldest daughter Miss H. when I photographed her Cotillion pictures.  You may remember some of those fun images HERE.

We started this session at their home, and then headed downtown to capture some images that included some gorgeous doors.

When I met with Mom at home for the pre-session consultation, I noticed she had several framed door images hanging on her walls.  We both decided it would be a fun way to keep her theme going!

.

How sweet are these sisters?

I just love our color choices for this session, and how they complimented the scenery so perfectly!

We hopped in the car and headed downtown for some more brilliant color & a lot of fun shots!

We found this freshly painted blue brick and had some with it …

My favorite image from the session…doesn’t look like NC, does it!

.

Thank you George family for a fantastic afternoon!

.

Stay tuned for a post coming up spotlighting the wall displays we created with their images.

These colorful images on a metal print = stunning!
