Sales Tax & Availability

Just a quick note to mention that the NC sales tax goes up on September 1st, so if you were planning on booking a session or ordering prints or cards or other items now is the time to do it!  Also, my fall calendar is getting extremely limited so please take a peek if you’re wanting a fall holiday session.  As of today:

September - 1 remaining weekday session date

October - 4 remaining weekday session dates

November - 1 remaining session date

I am so looking forward to those cooler sessions!

Sneak Peek! | Apex Children’s Photographer

The cuteness continues!  This little guy was an absolute joy for me to photograph.  He was just full of smiles and kept me entertained the entire time we played.  Thank you Mom and Dad for sharing him with me!

Sneak Peek! | Raleigh Quadruplet Portraits!

Yes, quadruplets!  Meet Melanie Osborne, real estate extraordinaire (that just sold our home in two weeks time and sold our first house back in 2002) and her five gorgeous girls including two year old quadruplets.  I was so glad to get my hands on all these cuties and we had a great time just playing in their backyard (well, until I put my hand on bee and it stung my palm half way through!) and was just amazed at how sweet and smart and beautiful and perfect all the girls are.  Melanie is a super mom to work full time and manage her family - I hope you love your portraits!

Sneak Peek! | Raleigh Baby Portraits

She showed up in a white dress picked out by her daddy for an upcoming wedding and if she didn’t already look like an angel this tipped the scale!  Just a gorgeous little girl with an absolutely precious personality to go along with it.  It was another hot, hot day but while Mom and I melted into a puddle she just kept smiling and hamming it up.  Thanks you for a gorgeous morning!

Sneak Peek! | Raleigh Senior Portraits

I don’t remember exactly but I am pretty sure it was 387 degrees the day we shot this session, give or take a degree.  We stayed close to home and ran in and out to keep our beautiful model as cool as possible and you would never know by looking at her that she was the least bit uncomfortable!  Thanks so much for a fun morning C, I hope you love your images!

Sneak Peek! | Morrisville Baby Photographer

I last saw this little sweetie since his newborn session (remember the shot of the newborn smiling at daddy on my site?)  and it was so great to see him and his parents now as he reaches his first birthday.  Just a gorgeous baby with big eyes and big curls and the sweetest little personality.  It was nap time when we played which is such a hard time for a 1 year old but he was just a perfect little model.  Thanks for sharing him with me again Mom!
