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!

Sneak Peek! | Cary Newborn Photos

I love this family, we had such a good time during a newborn session that included a little bit of sleeplessness from the star.  She didn’t want to dose when there was clearly a party going on! An absolutely perfect little doll, much like her big sister.  Thanks guys for sharing your sweet babies with me!

Sneak Peek! | Durham Baby Portraits

Brrrr!  This winter has not been so kind to us down here in the south (although I am so so glad it’s been more kind that up in DC right now!) with the coldest winter we have had in quite some time.  We have been rescheduling many sessions but sometimes they just have to go on, despite the chilly temps.  This little beauty was only in town for a short while from Las Vegas so we made the best of a “brisk” (aka COLD) morning and did some playing.  Last time I saw her she was an adorable, chubby baby just sitting up on her own.  In just the blink of an eye she is a gorgeous toddler right on the way to being a little girl.  Loved the pigtails, she is such a doll baby.  Thanks for braving the cold girls!

Sneak Peek | Twin Newborns

I have been a bit under the weather with a mystery virus and fever but today seemed to be the end of it so tomorrow I will be returning emails and voicemails.  If you don’t hear from me and you need to, please send me a note!

These sweet newborns were a month old when I got my hands on them and by that stage babies are often very alert and not as willing to play along with all of my ideas (can you blame them?).  We were able to get one settled in and comfy right away, but brother would wake.  So we would get brother settled into sweet slumber and then yes, the other would wake right up.  The best part was how they would wake each other up, sometimes a little slap to the face or even better a little wet spot on the blanket - ha!  They kept me on my toes and completely entertained these two!

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!
