The “W” five ~ Concord, NC Photographer

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

I’ve been really behind on updating my blog this summer but thought I should share pictures of this little cutie. I’ve been taking pictures of twins “A” and “B” since they were around 10 months old. Naturally, it was a pleasure to get to take pictures of baby “C”. This little girl made me work for these shots though. I can’t tell you how many times she pooped and peed. AND goodness she did not want to sleep! That doesn’t matter though I think we got some good shots of her wide eyed and bushy tailed…and even some “pretend sleep” shots as well. I can’t wait to see this little princess grow up. She is sure to be as sweet as “A” and “B”.

The “W” family of 5!!!


These are two of my favorite pictures from the session. We never thought we’d get the first one with both parents hands because “C” wouldn’t go to sleep. But she finally dozed off for about 5 minutes which is just the right amount of time to get the shot.

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.







Baby Roo is a Boy!! ~ Concord, NC Photographer

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

This little guy was a surprise to his mom and dad! They didn’t find out gender until his birthday and the whole time thought for sure they were having a girl. Not only was that a surprise but he was 2 lb bigger than his two year old sister at birth. He is very squishy and soft! I loved every moment of him being here for his first portraits. It really gives me baby fever (but I’m resisting that!).

Baby “Roo” is truly a joy!


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!!






Aweeeeeeeee Newborn “C” | Concord, NC Photographer

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

One of my very good friends had a new baby!!! Actually a lot of my friends are having babies and I’m so happy to see all these little ones. So much so that it’s giving me baby fever. But no way I’m too busy these days to even consider that!! Little “C” is as cute as they come and is super sweet. It did take a little coaxing (and lots of milk) to get her good and sleepy but our efforts were not in vain. She finally knocked out really hard and we were able to play. Thank you MommyB, DaddyJ and Big Sis A for coming by. I truly enjoyed every moment :)






Happy Birthday “A” ~ Concord, NC Photographer

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Little miss “A” came in for her one year portraits. She is such a cutie and full of energy and personality too. She didn’t seem intimidated by all the lights and was quite happy to take pictures as long as she was fed cheerios pretty consistently :)

I enjoyed this session so much and hope to see “A” again sometime in the future!

Enjoy!










Beautiful Baby Girl “C”

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Everyone I know is pregnant…it’s amazing! And most of them are having girls (except one!). So this is possibly a preview of the next few months of newborn pictures!!

Little C is so sweet and tiny, born on Superbowl Sunday (4 weeks early!). She’s a rock star and is very much alert and active for such a newbie. Here she is 12 days old and stayed awake almost the whole 2 1/2 hours she was here.

All of these are in black and white because “C” had been dealing with Jaundice so she was still quite yellow in the pictures…I like newborns in black and white anyway so it’s good for me.

I really hope to get to see “C” and mom and dad again in the future! Enjoy your little one!










Baby Girl and Big Brother | Maternity Photographer Cornelius, NC

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

One of my good friends (also a photographer) is having a baby ANY DAY NOW. I’m hoping by this weekend so everyone send labor pixie dust her way :)

This was a fun session that included her 4 year old son. He is struggling with “photographer’s child syndrome” just like my two, but he did ok for me.

We love this one…our favorite!! Such a handsome little guy!





Now for the fun to start! This whole series is really cute because “C” was having so much fun painting moms belly. Lots of laughs and giggles here…


And I had to get some of just “C”! Here is one of my favorites.

And one more of the belly! :)

“J” Maternity | Cornelius, NC Photographer

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I was very excited for this session…it is my first real session in about a month and MATERNITY is one of my very favorites to do! In 2009 I photoed these two getting married and now look, only 6 weeks away from being mom and dad for the first time.

Mommy “J” has the perfect little belly! I can’t believe she is as far along as she is…she looks great!

I can’t wait to meet baby girl. I know she’s going to be perfect!









A and B Uptown Fun | Charlotte, NC Photographer

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Going uptown for pictures is always fun for me. It’s my favorite on-location destination around Charlotte. Going with twins is twice the fun :) It took a bit of work to get both “A” and “B” to stand together and be on the same page, but eventually they did with a little bribery. I never thought suckers could last so long (these lasted over an hour haha).
