Sneak Peek | Christmas cuties!

It was another cold morning but the girls toughed it out! We shot at their home so they could take turns running inside to thaw. But we had a blast, despite the chill and their portraits couldn’t be any cuter. They even slipped into their gowns from the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World for a few shots at the end. Thanks for a fun morning girls!

Sneak Peek | Blue eyed beauty

(A quick side note - I was supposed to be in Philedelphia wast weekend but instead we got a family stomach bug so the trip was delayed.  I will be in Philly THIS weekend, God willing!)

I love this little cutie, and it’s not just because she’s a photographer’s dream with big pale blue eyes.  She is just so sweet and spunky and full of spark that it’s a joy just to spend a few hours playing!  And she breaks out into dance at any given time, with no music necessary.  I mean come on, that’s just awesome!

Sneak Peek | Teens and kiddos in downtown Durham

(Just a reminder that I am out of town until Monday)

This session was such a nice change of pace!  Mixing a big range of ages can be challenging so Mom had the great idea of going urban which worked just perfectly.  We had to get creative and in the end they look like the belong on a cd cover.  Love it!

Sneak Peek! | Child portraits in Raleigh

I have just been a shooting machine lately, and everyone is getting “peeked” which I hate!  But the shooting is the important part and let me tell you, I have a camera in my hands more waking hours than not these days!  The exhaustion is setting in, but we’re just one week away from finishing up the normal holiday shooting.  Weather permitting anyway, no more rain!

But back to the peek.  Some fun brothers came to enjoy a gorgeous break from the chilly weather in Raleigh.  It was a lovely day and we had fun!

Sneak Peek | October Mini Session event

Just a peek of the faces that braved a cold, cold morning to shoot mini sessions with me!  It was a fun day despite the slight frost bite :-)

Sneak Peek! | Urban family photography in Raleigh

I hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween, I have to admit I love it way more than the kids even do.  But this year has sped by even faster than the others and we were left hanging our cobwebs and other decorations about 20 minutes before the trick or treaters arrived.  I shoot 2-3 times more in the fall than I do any other time of year and when you add in all the kid’s activities and necessary family outings (like the fair and the pumpkin patch, you know, the important things) it leaves me going just about every minute of every day.  But I do love it, even on the days I think I just can’t drag myself out of bed and it helps that I get to meet amazing families and sweet children just about every day!

This was an urban session which I absolutely love to do even though I don’t get to do them all that often.  It’s a great alternative to a garden session and you never know what might find exploring the city streets.   Such sweet little kiddos!

Sneak Peek! | Child portraits in Cary

We have had our fair share of less than ideal weather this October and this session happened to be on one of those days.  It was gray, windy and quite chilly but this little one sparkles despite the gloomy weather!  She was an absolute doll and full of spunk and personality.  We had the most fun playing and looking back through her images I can see her little spirit shining through.  And hey, she has great hair to boot!
