Sneak Peek! | Raleigh Children’s Photographer

I don’t know if you noticed or not, but … IT GOT WARM THIS WEEK!  I know I have a pretty subtle personality so you may not have noticed, but I’m not a big big fan of winter (especially cold, harsh ones that don’t cut us even a little slack for running around outdoors and taking pictures!) so I was jumping for joy when I saw this week’s forecast.  We made up a few sessions that had been rescheduled due to cold and this little sweetie was even able to wear a sleeveless dress.  Ahhhh warm, I had forgotten what you felt like!

We had such a fun time and even convinced her (very funny) big brother to get in a few pictures, until he threatened to beat me up unless I stopped.  This is a tough job I have, I tell ya! ;)

Sneak Peek! | Wake Forest Family Portraits

A quick note before the cuteness - the Moore children have gotten hold of the lovely stomach virus going around and while I thought we were in the clear days later the Moore daddy was down last night.  I’m the last man standing and I have to say, Lysol in hand I still do not feel my odds are good.  I am trying to stay on top of my schedule but if there is a delay I do apologize.  I am holding tight to the thought of SPRING around the corner!

This sweet family braved a cold wind for our session and one member was a little less than thrilled to be there (which is not unusual for certain ages, cold wind or not!).  But they are such a fun bunch and I always enjoy our sessions.  Watching all these sweet kids grow up and being just a small part of their life is such a blessing to me!

2009 Premier Baby Cover & Survivor Themed Baby Shower | Raleigh Magazine Photographer

In 2009 I had the pleasure of photographing the sweet little model for Premier Baby and Child Magazine.  Below is the shot we chose for the cover, his eyes are absolutely AMAZING!  I also photographed a baby shower with a “Survivor” theme.  The shower took place on a hot, hot, HOT summer day - so much so that the gorgeous food by Premiere Catering was melting before we could get the shots we needed.  Everything was gorgeous and just so creative, see all of the photos on my Facebook page here (and hey, become a fan while you’re there! ;-).

Sneak Peek! | Fearrington Portraits

My last regular sessions of 2009 were private mini sessions set up by a group of friends and neighbors on the beautiful Fearrington grounds.  Let me tell you, this is one gorgeous neighborhood!  The weather was gorgeous and the kids were as well.  It was a FANTASTIC way to wrap up the year!

Sneak Peek! | Wake Forest Family Portraits

So, this Mom is a photographer that has lots of photos of her sweet girls.  What she is lacking is what so many Mom’s are lacking - photos of themselves with their sweet kids.  I think it’s easy to find a million reasons why we don’t want to be in photos and forget that years from now these are going to be precious memories.  The weather was a little damp, and a little chilly and oddly foggy but I hope I captured what she was after!

Sneak Peek! | Elizabethtown, NC portraits

I just love these sweet boys and I love that I am getting the chance to watch them grow up even thought they don’t live in the Triangle.  We managed to sneak this session on the only sunny day last week gave us (thank goodness!) and it’s one of the last few from 09 that I will be sharing this year!  Absolutely gorgeous boys, in every way.  It’s not hard to get great shots of them!
