Last call for Friday’s mini sessions!

I have one remaining slot for the October 23rd minis, please send me a note if you are interested!

Sneak Peek! | Raleigh Family Photographer

So I think this session may go down as the most interrupted session ever.  It was a (rare) warm and dry Saturday morning and it would seem that most of Raleigh joined us at the park and needed to be right.where.we.were.  What I thought was an access road for park rangers turned out to be a drag racing track for teenagers and the trail we chose was also the choice of the largest group of runners I have ever seen.  And of course with three little boys this cute many people just had to just stop and chat with us.  By the time we finally wrapped up I couldn’t remember what we had shot first and it was really a case of “make it work”.  But I’d say we did!  Thank you so much for your patience R family!

Sneak Peek! | North Carolina Children’s Photography

I thought I’d share some photos of a sweet little girl on a gorgeous, warm fall day in case you had forgotten that those actually do exist here in NC.  Although they did have to reschedule their original date and if I remember correctly there was a chance of rain for that evening but for those few moments - dryness!

I have been photographing this gorgeous girl for sometime now and this was the session where she had gone from a baby to a little girl.  Complete with running around, squealing and HAIR!  Gorgeous as ever, so glad to see you guys again!

Schedule for the remainder of the 2009 & a special offer!

I should have posted this before now but like everything else, it’s somewhat delayed!  I am booked through 2009 for full sessions. * I will try my very best to work in newborns because I know those just cant wait but please contact me asap if you’re expecting!* Unfortunately I had  to take less sessions than normal with all the rain reschedules that September and October brought us, which really makes me sad but there are only so many days on the calendar to squeeze people in.  (I can add you to a waiting list just in case anything comes open, and it doesn’t happen often but spots do sometimes come available - please let me know if you would like to be added.)

I do have mini sessions schedule for October 23rd and spaces are available. Please contact me for details, I know these won’t last long.

I also thought of something new for this year - because we all know I really, really, REALLY hate every having to turn down a session I thought I would offer a “rain check” so to speak (and that is oh so literal this year!) for sessions in the new year.  You don’t have to select a date yet but you can purchase a session for January, February, March and April 2010 at half off through the end of October.  I wish I could get everyone in before Christmas, I really really do.  But I actually love North Carolina winter sessions.  We wait for warmer days and they are usually much less chaotic and much more creative.  As much as I hate cold weather I really do love some winter accessories…

Ok, back to work for me - please send me an email if you have any questions at all or want to take advantage of the offer!

Lots of brothers this year!  I think 2009 was the year of the boys and I have had so much fun running and jumping and digging and doing all things boy!  These sweet boys helped me explore Duke Gardens and we had a great morning.  It was even a rare sunny day on the day we scheduled - go figure!  You have gorgeous boys Mom, I had a hard time choosing for the blog!

I just loved this little cutie!  Maybe one of the most expressive and precocious little girls I have worked with.  She kept me cracking up the entire time and her images really reflect her personality - a full range of expressions!  Thank you so much for sharing her for the morning Mom, I can’t wait to meet her little brother or sister!

Sneak Peek! | Raleigh Newborn and Child Portraits

I spent this morning with three beautiful ladies and one sweet little man.  It’s pretty clear he is going to have alot of sister love coming his way, he even stopped crying when the girls sang to him.  The weather was gorgeous and I had a great time, thanks for sharing your kids with me Mom!
