Family Beach Portraits!

“The love of a family is life’s greatest blessing.” – Author unknown

Wow, what a treat this session was for me! The “L” family and I had been in touch for quite a few months planning their family portrait session. Ultimately, they decided on a session at the beach. and I’m so happy they did! This session was so much fun – there was lots of running around, laughing, splashing, and enjoying the beautiful weather and location. I went home soaking wet… and loved it. 🙂

Here’s just a few of the many great photos of this beautiful family!

Jimmy & Rachel’s Senior Portraits

Last week I met Jimmy and Rachel for some portraits to celebrate their upcoming graduation from NC State. So how could we NOT get some fabulous shots on the NC State campus in Raleigh? Jimmy and Rachel were so much fun – jumping, sitting, standing, posing with their dogs… you name it, they did it! And their Mom came along so they could also have family portraits done. We had a blast and got some great shots. Have I mentioned I love what I do? 🙂

Cate & Lucy | Newborn Twins | Raleigh Newborn Portrait Photographer

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!

Raleigh Family Photographers – The "G" Family

This is my largest family to date – 11 people! The “G” family decided to book a session for their dear father/grandfather and give him photos for Christmas gifts. They had a fabulous idea! We got a lot of great shots and had a ton of fun!

Here’s Grandpa with all the grandkids:

And here’s the ENTIRE family:

The ‘J’ Family – Raleigh Family Photographer

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!

Raleigh Family Photographer – The Super Gorgeous "H" Family

How lucky am I to photograph this beautiful family? And not only are they good-looking, but they are so fun! The girls were up for anything – climbing trees, running, jumping from things. We had a blast! Thanks for a fun session, “H” family!

The "W" Family

The “W” Family opted for one of my mini-sessions this year. It was the perfect way to get some updated family pics for them! It was a VERY cold morning, but 10-month-old “L” was quite the little trooper.

What else can I say – they’re a cute, cute family and such nice people!! Thanks for coming out in the cold to meet me, guys!

The "J" Family

This family has been dear friends of mine for a long time – through thick and thin! I absolutely adore them, so I was honored and thrilled when they called asking me to take some photos of them for their holiday cards this year. We managed to get their pets in the photos as well – aren’t they all adorable?

And here is their kitty, Sadie. She didn’t make it into many of the shots – she mainly hid on us!

The ‘M’ Family

Last week my family and I visited my husband’s relatives in New York. While we were there, we held a little impromptu session in my Mother-in-law’s backyard to get some pictures of my nephews. They’re pretty cute, but then again I’m biased!

This next one makes me laugh because it just completely captures who my little nephew Brennan is – silly and funny!
