Koen was the winner of my Cutest Kids Contest this year. What an absolute delight he was – I’ve never seen such a happy 9-month old! I swear there was not a tear shed the entire session. He sat and smiled as much as I wanted him to. His parents sure are blessed to have such a sweet and adorable little boy. I was so happy to have met them!!
Here’s a peak at some photos from his session!

Baby Greta is such a sweet baby. She is so peaceful and easygoing – I barely heard a cry out of her the entire session. It’s always amazing to me to see brand new parents – carefully changing diapers, documenting feeding times, holding the baby so gently and sweetly, and doting on every noise and movement. I’m totally in awe of it and I remember it with my son like it was yesterday. What a beautiful, wonderful time in these parent’s lives. They are enjoying every second of it, just like they should be. Jess and Andy – thank you for allowing me to capture this precious time in Greta’s life!

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting sweet little Allie, just 10 days new. Oh, how I love newborn sessions, I could do them every day. Congrats to her parents and big brother Caleb, she is gorgeous and such a blessing!
Here is big brother Caleb, counting his sister’s fingers. I just love the look on his face!
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Cate and Lucy – baby girl twins. This family is one of a kind – the parents are talented in so many ways and they have FOUR girls! I can’t even imagine how Daddy will sleep at night when they become teenagers!
Here is a peak at some of their photos – enjoy!
This lovely family has been seen on my blog before – and probably will be again! This is my brother, his wife, and my niece Lilly, who is just four months old… with cameos from their dog Rocky and their pony Laverne!
I just loooooove photographing newborns – I think they’re my favorite! Baby Boy “P” was such a perfect little model for me. He took a little coaxing in the beginning to fall asleep, but once he did, he was out! He sure is adorable!
“P” family, it was such a pleasure to meet you and your adorable children!
Hope everyone has a very happy Thanksgiving!
I had the pleasure of taking family photos for this wonderful family recently, which included adorable twin boys. They were so much fun to photograph. Mr. ‘P’ had all sorts of fun ideas for pictures at the Art Museum in Raleigh. I told him he should come along with me to every session!
Thanks for the fun, ‘P’ family! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
This is the ‘S’ family. They have three adorable little boys – the youngest, baby ‘L’, is just five weeks old. You’d think their house would be crazy with three boys – but everyone’s so well behaved and their house was so clean!! I’m not sure how they do it!
I enjoyed meeting and photographing you, ‘S’ family! Thanks for letting me capture your sweet children. Enjoy your sneak peek!
Daddy is raising three little Clemson fans!
I headed to Wake Forest to take newborn photos of Baby ‘D’ when she was just five days old. She’s so calm and easygoing. Sure hope she stays that way for her Mommy!
The first two are my favorites…
I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing these sweet little boys in Raleigh this past weekend. I’ve known this family for a while, and I was honored that they asked me to do their family pictures!
We had such a good time and the evening light was fantastic. Jacob is two and did a great job smiling for me once I learned the secret code for smile – “show your teeth!” Little Tyler is just four months old and he seemed like he’d rather nap than look at the camera. In fact, he fell right asleep while I was trying to take his picture. Oh, the life of a baby!
Thanks for the fun session, guys!
