Beach Portraits ~ Ft. Fisher, NC

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

A couple of weeks ago I went to the beach for the Beach Portraits event! This was my second event and boy was it fun. What’s better than doing your work ON THE BEACH! It was a wonderfully sunny day and not too hot. All the kids did such a great job for me posing and doing whatever I asked them to do…even the younger ones. I know my kids would have run straight for the water but no one did that! I need some pointers from these moms on how they get their kids to behave so well at the beach haha!

I’m so happy for a second successful event! I hope to do many of these in the future.

Spring Event at the Park ~ Charlotte, NC Photographer

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

I had my first “event” on May 8 at Freedom Park. This was so much fun and it was really nice seeing some old faces I had not seen in a long time and meeting some new faces as well. Thanks to everyone for making this a success. I will be doing more of these in the future!!

A Holiday Treat | Cornelius, NC Photographer

Monday, December 7th, 2009

“D” is B-A-C-K! And as usual a treat to photograph! Really I don’t have to do much and he even comes up with poses all on his own. Now how many 4 year olds can you say do this!? Not many take it from me. Maybe he knows I always have a special treat at the end haha.

These pictures are really getting me excited for Christmas. I love the PJs and the Santa hat

Just My Kids | Cornelius, NC Photographer

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

‘Tis the season and so I have attempted to get some holiday pictures of my own children. This is no easy task; you can ask any photographer with small children. After lots of bribes and little cooperation, I’m happy to have these. I may try one of them together in the next week or so, after I build my energy again

The “P” Family | Cornelius, NC Photographer

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Such a beautiful family!! I photographed little “S” and “L” about 8 months ago and “L” sure has changed a lot! He still is not too crazy about me taking his pictures, but this time he was full of so much energy and curiosity and kept me and mommy on our toes. His big sis was so awesome for me. She did poses and laughed and told me all kinds of stories. This family was truly a treat to photograph!!

Enjoy!

Four Year Old “D” | Cornelius, NC Photographer

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

“D” (aka Buzz Lightyear) is always a joy to photograph. It’s not every day I have a child younger than 5 in my studio who willingly takes pictures without much of the candy bribery. “D” always poses just like I ask him to…and even does some of his own. It’s so AWESOME!! H also has such a great little personality and was talking non-stop from the time he stepped through the door until he left. He only paused to eat some candy towards the end!

I really had a good day last Saturday with my two fun subjects (”S” from my previous post and “D”). I hope this continues for a long time!!

Enjoy!

Miss “S” is 5!!!!! | Cornelius, NC Photographer

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Where did the time go!? I met little “S” when she was about 16 months old and still trying to figure out that walking business. I can’t believe she is now turning 5 and going to Kindergarten next fall! Seriously that means I’m getting OLD! haha

This session was fun. “S” was really playful and loved for me to pretend to be the big bad wolf and blow the house (or in this case to blow “S”) down. Mom even brought her Halloween costume and it was a lot of fun to dress her like a cowgirl. She loved my handcuffs too (an old prop I used when my Eli was about 7 months old).

Enjoy! Lots of smiles here

Abby is THREE! | Charlotte, NC Photographer

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

I’ve been taking pictures of Abby since she was 2 months old. I love this little girl like she’s my own. She’s so smart and funny and loves to do everything!

The day we did these photos it was 40 degrees outside (middle of October is normally much warmer here) and everyone was freezing including me. Abby however ran around like it didn’t even bother her, but she did want some hot cocoa…which we did get after walking a few blocks and finding a Starbucks.

After the cocoa we were supposed to get a few family pictures but it just didn’t work out. The wind really started blowing and everyone was pretty miserable. Next time for sure!

These were in uptown Charlotte. I love this location for big kids!!

Uptown 3 Year Old Twins | Charlotte, NC Photographer

Friday, September 11th, 2009

We went uptown for a shoot of these cute twins. They were so curious about everything going on. There were buses going by, a festival taking over the block, and even a mime. What an interesting and fun day for them! I must say uptown is one of my favorite spots to take pictures! Not only is the lighting usually GREAT, but also there’s just lots to see and do while you are having a session.

I hope mom and dad enjoy these pictures as much as I do!

Sweet Family!! | Charlotte, NC Photographer

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

This family has wanted pictures with me for about a year now! And finally both of our schedules have lined up to make this happen. Mostly it was my fault and I’ve appologized to Mommy “T” a bunch already. Hopefully her pictures will make up for all the delays. I know she has been very excited for this for a long time.

The day we took these was one of the hottest of the year. Even at 9:00 AM we were all melting. You have to love NC weather. But in the end everything turned out great!
