Ashley & Emma

I was delighted to photograph beautiful little Ashley and Emma last weekend with their parents. They’re close friends of mine and they were nice enough to come out to Durham and model for me and a few of my fellow photographer friends when we held one of our meet-ups. We got a bunch of great pics — and their adorable selves and cute personalities made that easy for us! Check out Ashley’s braids and headband… is she stylish or what? Thanks “G” family for coming out and looking so cute!! 🙂

Tate | Raleigh Family Photography

Tate celebrated his third birthday in June and his Mom called me to take his birthday pictures. They are SUCH fabulous people and I could tell right away that they’re a super fun family. We went for an urban look for their photos, which I think was a great decision! I love all of their photos and I didn’t envy their decision to have to choose which ones to hang!

A big thanks to Tate for letting us drag him around in the heat! 🙂

I adore this next photo…

Koen

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!

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!
