This sweet girl was so petite and dainty at our session! I adored every newborn detail and every snuggle we shared. I am constantly amazed at how perfect these tiny human beings are.  Thank you for letting me document this part of your baby’s journey S Family! It was wonderful to meet all of you!    

Sweet Ms. C, how I love all your facial expressions! You seriously kept me laughing with all your bubble eating and then bubble blowing with your nose.  Your amazement at a simple pinwheel was so fun to watch.  And that you did not even blink at the 200lb Great Dane and his 130lb friend that walked by us still blows me

This sweet family has 3 boys, which means lots of energy and movement! We thought Center City Park would be a great location for them to run and get a mixture of city backdrops and natural backdrops! We were right!  

This handsome little guy was so sleepy for our session. He was awake for about 5 minutes and then slept the rest of the time! I’m glad we got 1 awake shot for Mom though! Speaking of Mom…Mom was amazing with her son. She could calm him right down when he got a little fussy. This boy is very lucky

Both of these baby girls were blessed with some AMAZING hair! And they don’t lose it! Baby sister looks exactly like her sister did when she was born. What a beautiful family they are – on the outside and more importantly on the inside.  D Family, thank you for letting me document this special time in your lives.

These 4 beautiful girls are cousins. I loved seeing the older girls interacting with the younger ones. They were so sweet, patient and fun with them! We played some games together and then the girls had to end with pigtails in their hair because Grandpa loves them with pigtails! So cute!

Baby H, you are so sweet and were such a good boy for our session! You gave me tons of cuddles and though you decided to mess up our first blanket right from the start, you kept the rest clean! Thanks buddy! We photographed so many of your tiny newborn details…some of my favorite pieces to capture because they change so quickly!  

Miss A is so full of personality, just like Mom and Dad! I was laughing as much as A was! She was juuuuust about to take off walking during our photo session and now she is everywhere 🙂 She took some sweet steps to Mom and Dad during the session! I love capturing milestones like that! Here are some of

Baby A is so dainty and beautiful!  I loved staring at all her little features as I was rocking her to sleep.  She is so very blessed to have 2 amazing, entertaining big brothers and a wonderful Mom and Dad to take fantastic care of her.  I loved each minute with you A and I hope to see more of

Baby B was so precious with his platinum blond hair, perfect skin, squishy cheeks, newborn rolls and kissable lips.  I hope your hair stays that way forever for you B because it can get really expensive to keep hair looking as great as yours! 🙂

I adore capturing connection in families.  This family has a silly, sweet and adorable 2 year old boy and I loved my time with him.  He is so well spoken and tall! My son is so much shorter, so I kept thinking he was much older than he actually is, which Mom says is pretty common! We headed to Country

Baby H was 3 weeks old by the time I got to meet her and we were able to take beautiful images of her! She is the oldest newborn I have photographed so far and though she startled easily, she did so well once we got her into a deep sleep! She is so precious and I loved every second

I can’t explain how amazing this trip was for me.  My sweet husband listened to me talk one evening about my fav photographer, Audrey Woulard. I told him that she does workshops in CA and that I could fly out and see my best friend, stay with her and learn from Audrey….a master of natural light and shooting in full

  Miss S is a darling 8 month old and full of personality.  I can’t get over sibling love lately and I got to see a lot with Mr. F and Miss S!   I had the pleasure of doing Miss. S’s newborn photos as well.  My how things have changed in the last 8 months! She is even army

Sweet Baby Girl, you are so loved.  Thank you for letting me love on you and for being an amazing sleeper during our newborn session and for Mommy and Daddy at night 🙂 Your red hair and blue eyes are so different than your brothers, yet we can see the resemblance between you two so easily.  You are so precious and

I so wanted to take this little guy home with me! Mr. E came back for his 2nd session for his baby plan. He’s about 7 months and was just starting to sit up. I cannot believe how much he has changed since he was a newborn. He still has fabulous hair and is so handsome, but he is so

I am one of those weird people that LOVED being pregnant.  I was very fortunate to have 2 very uneventful, relatively easy pregnancies.  I did have some morning sickness with my son, but really, pregnancy was such a blessing for me.  So being with pregnant Momma’s gives me baby fever! This lovely Momma is pregnant with their 3rd child and

Baby Boy D is the third child of this sweet family and he is surely adored by all. He was so laid back for his newborn photos and hardly made a peep! He was even an older baby- 3 weeks old! We stuffed him full of Mommy’s milk and had the house really warm, so he stayed cozy and sleepy for

3 years old is so much fun! I can understand most of what the kids are talking about at this point and can joke around with them a bit to get them smiling, laughing and having fun! Mr. F is so sweet and was full of smiles for his 3 year old portraits. We had a great time laughing about

Baby C is a lucky little lady to be born into a house with so much love! Her big sisters are just about the cutest and sweetest little girls I have ever met and they love their baby sister! Baby C was a great baby for her newborn session and after her second bottle, she slept like a champion! I love

  This maternity portrait session was filled with laughter and sweet moments… Dad pretty much keeps Mom laughing all the time and it was a delight to be around such a happy and entertaining couple. Their love for one another is so clear and they are such an amazing family.   This will be the second baby girl for this

18 months old. What a fun age! Kids start talking, are usually running around and just love to laugh. This little one, my son, is obsessed with vehicles of any kind. He points at planes as they fly by and makes his plane noise, he drives cars and trucks around the house making noises and he loves school buses. If

There is so much excitement, love and hope during maternity photo sessions.  The parents are over the moon excited about their baby on the way. Their love for each other and their baby is so evident in all their expressions and caresses. The Mom’s are always stunningly beautiful, carrying God’s creation, and this Mom was no exception.   I really

If you missed Part 1 or Part 2, please start there! This post is going to focus on shutter speed. I feel like shutter speed is a lot easier to understand than aperture, so hopefully this post will be quick and easy to understand! Shutter speed is exactly what it sounds like… how fast your shutter opens and closes. The

This is my sweet Nora and this kid loves some snow.  Actually, she just loves eating snow. From the breakfast table this morning, I saw some beautiful light coming in the back yard. A rare treat for me! I asked if she would like to get some portraits taken and she said, “Yes! Anything to go outside in the snow!”

If you haven’t read Part 1, please do so! This post will be a continuation of the first post on aperture priority mode. I hope everyone took their cameras off AUTO and turned the dial to A after my last post! If not, you have to try it! I am assuming most of you are using a kit zoom lens

I realized a few weeks ago that Mr E. never got a big blog post! I posted one photo of him earlier where he was laid on his Dad’s Marine gear. Dad was not able to be home for the birth of Mr. E, but I heard that he was able to come home just a few weeks later. What

I’m going to do a series on my blog about how to take better photos with your nice cameras! Please feel free to comment with any questions you have and I will respond back! So here we go….   I remember absolutely loving my photos when I got my first dSLR. I thought they were SO much better than my

I have a few photos on my photography “bucket list” and one of them is of snowflakes. Well so far we have not had snowflakes that work for photographs, so when I heard about photographing frozen bubbles, I got really excited!  It is sooooo cold in Greensboro right now! I have been wearing a coat and gloves on inside! 🙂 I

I have been photographing a lot of families and toddlers lately, so doing this engagement session was such a nice change of pace! Emily and Mark are a sweet, loving couple and they brought me back to what it’s like to be in “new” love. I know you can see it in their photos below, but they just adore each

We really had to work to get this session in! Originally we were going to do an outdoor session at Oak Ridge Military Academy, but the weather and the kids health would not cooperate. So we had to change our plans and head indoors due to the cold weather and wind blowing all the leaves off the trees! We went

It was so fun to be part of two pregnancy announcements this fall! I love pregnant Mommas 🙂 This photo session was especially sweet for me because my husband and I went to school with the Dad in this family. He married such a wonderful, kind and creative woman. Now they have this sweet, energetic boy and a baby on

I have been too busy lately to keep up with blogging. Can anyone else relate? Whew! Time is flying and there are very few moments of down time lately! Also, a lot of people were taking their Christmas photos with me, so I had to keep them off the blog until those cards went out 🙂 This soon to be
