Last night was Karen and Peter’s beautiful wedding! Stay tuned for a preview from that this week…but for now, enjoy Karen’s gorgeous bridals that I have been saving for a few months! You were stunning, Karen! Congratulations! : ) P.S. That last one is my favorite. Just love it.
These guys invited us over for dinner right after Devin and I got married (nearly 7 years ago!) and we’ve been good friends ever since. Is there a more photogenic family out there? I doubt it. Ainsley also happens to be one of my daughter’s best friends, which is fun! : )
Thank you so much for having me photograph you guys at the beach…it was a blast!
Kristin and I have been friends for many years. I love her, and her insanely cute little red-head daughter, Annabelle. I wish Ben could’ve been there for the session, but we’ll just have to do more family pictures—with the whole family-- next year. Still, you can’t beat some mother-child pictures, since moms are usually the ones behind the camera anyway : )
Thanks Kristin and Annabelle! Miss you already!
…Could they be any cuter? I was so excited to get to photograph our dear friends, the Bargers, at Topsail Island recently. They have two cute boys, who I envision someday marrying my two cute girls haha…it’s perfect : )
Thanks guys! …I wish we were still at the beach!
(I’m really backed up blogging, so these next few entries may be shorter than normal.)
JUST LOOK at this adorable little gal who just recently turned two years old! She was so adorable and I really enjoyed photographing her and her sweet family. Her parents brought along lots of books because Miss Ella loves to read, and she was so cute sitting there as they read to her. Thanks for a wonderful session Craven family, and Happy Birthday Ella! : )
I had so much fun spending the morning with the Pratt family this weekend. We met up bright and early at a park that they frequent often, and I couldn’t have picked a better spot. Lots of green grass, tall trees and plenty of room to run! And I have to say, I was loving the outfit combinations that Jessica chose. It’s okay not to match…I thought the stripes, together with the boys’ outfits looked fabulous together!
Anyways, big brother Payton(2 yrs.) was adorable and energetic…not particularly interested in being photographed haha, but you’d never know it…we still managed to capture some great moments with him. We wore little Luke (3 months) out…by the end he had fallen asleep in Daddy’s arms…adorable!
Pratts, it was so fun to see you guys again and photograph your cute family. I can’t wait to send you your disc…there are so many cute images! : )
I had a fabulous time photographing the adorable Karras family this week. These two little boys were absolutely adorable, and although we didn’t shoot for very long, we still got some great shots! It’s hard to want to take pictures when you’ve just turned one…I have a one year old—I know : ) Still, I couldn’t have asked for better weather, better location (their gorgeous family farm in Cary) or a more darling family. And afterwards the boys got to see/help feed the cows…hooray!
Thanks so much for a fun session you guys! Stay tuned for your disc in the next few weeks! : )
(love this mother-daughter shot)
I was so excited to be able to photograph perfect little Sarabeth at just nine days old. She was an absolute angel and slept through it all. She even slept through big brother Palmer crawling all around her : ) Sarabeth and Palmer (16 months) are so lucky to have each other and be so close in age…I know they will be the best of friends! We had a little trouble getting a shot with Palmer holding her, but I actually loved this last image of him crawling beside her, because it’s so…real. Palmer, the busy toddler, and Sarabeth, the sleeping newborn. That is what' it’s really like now…and I love it when photographs remind us of what is real.
McWilliams family, thank you for having me over to photograph your perfect baby girl. I can’t wait to look through the rest of the images! : )
One of the most beautiful doctrines of my faith is that we believe that marriage does not have to end at death. When preformed under proper authority in the Temple, families can be united throughout eternity! I am always excited when people choose to be sealed in the Temple, and so when I first received an email from Julie about photographing her and Morgan after their Sealing, I was thrilled! I usually photograph families with little kids (which I love, obviously) but it was fun to photograph people my own age today…and in this heat, it was nice not to have to chase anyone around! : )
Julie and Morgan are so in love and were so much fun to photograph! Collectively they have a pretty large family, so I was happy that my sister-in-law Jenna was able to assist me today, and help us work through their shot list. (Thank you Jenna!) Even though it was over 100 degrees today AND their pictures were at 12 noon (ahh, noon day sun…a photographer’s nightmare!) Julie, Morgan, and their family and friends were so incredibly nice and didn’t complain at all…they were all such troopers!
I have a TON of pictures still to look through, but I wanted to post a small preview for the newlyweds before we head off for vacation. Julie & Morgan—CONGRATULATIONS on your beautiful wedding, and I hope you guys have a blast in Belize! Thank you so much for having me photograph you on this most special day!
