Cousins in Raleigh | Extended Family Portraits

It felt right to share some precious cousins on the blog today. I had a hard time making yesterday a productive afternoon. The day started great with a headshot and marketing photo shoot for Gladwell Orthodontics at Lafayette Village on a really beautiful fall morning but being a busy morning I hadn’t checked my phone or watched the news. A person’s hate has hurt and killed so many (again) and it’s heartbreaking and discouraging and frankly just makes me want to crawl in a hole and hide. But of course we don’t hide, we don’t give in or let hate win and we definitely don’t crawl in a hole to hide (even when it seems like the bad news comes every.single.day.). We get up the next day, we hug our family (and I hug a client or two!) and we do it all over again. And I’m lucky enough to have a little joy and beauty to share.

These precious little cousins came with their very fun and very amazing grandparents for a photo session. I met the big brothers a few years ago and now it was the girl’s turn and we ring around the rosie until we couldn’t ring around anymore!

Hey guys: Fall photo session availability is very limited at this point but there is still time! Upcoming mini sessions are listed on this page. Availability for half and full sessions are listed here but feel free to send me a message to get on the calendar more quickly. It’s hard to believe it is already October, every year I am surprised at just how fast the fall flies by – every year! The clock is ticking on Raleigh fall portraits!
