Beau | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST CHILD NEWBORN AND BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Oh, the sweet, cute little Beau…. where do I even start? He is SIX MONTHS OLD now — I saw him for his newborn photos back in June. That post is HERE. I just adore his beautiful family, and was so happy to get them all in Beau’s 6-month photos — even big brother Palmer let us include him! 🙂 They are both so, so cute!! Here’s a peek at their session!

Ethan | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST CHILD AND BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Ethan is a popular name this year — this is my second Ethan in the last month! 🙂 This adorable little guy was five months old for his photo session. He was the sweetest, happiest little guy, which I’m sure had to do with how nice and down to earth his parents are! We got some lovely family photos and some individual pics of Ethan. And I think we captured his sweet little personality pretty well!

A Beautiful Family | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST CHILD AND BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

This lovely family requested photos at their home. With a 3-month-old baby and big sister to photograph, it worked well to have them in comfortable surroundings. There was a whole lot of love and happiness in this home, and I felt privileged to be invited!

Arden | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST CHILD AND BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Beautiful little Arden is the daughter of a dear friend and fellow photographer, Emilee. I was so, so, so delighted when Emilee asked me to capture Arden at 16 weeks old — exactly one year from the day she found out she was pregnant. A very special day for them, and a special day for ME to have them in my studio. Arden is an extraordinary little angel and I could stare at her photos for DAYS! Love her so much!

Embry is One! | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST CHILD AND BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Sweet little Embry is turning ONE! I was so excited to see her again to find out how much she’d grown since her session back in the spring. She’s walking ALL OVER now and leaving everyone in her dust. It’s beyond adorable! Thanks for the fun, sweet Embry girl!

Joshua | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST CHILD AND BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I was so excited to see little Joshua again for his one year portraits. He previously graced my blog as a newborn, here. We met out at a super fun location where his Mommy had maternity photos done back when she was pregnant with Josh. It’s awesome to see her photos with the pregnant belly, and then to see Josh sitting in the same spots! He is a super smiley, happy little boy and they don’t come much cuter than this one! 🙂

Tyson | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST CHILD AND BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

This beautiful family came out for my mini-sessions a few weeks ago. I hadn’t seen Tyson since his 3-month session back in March. I can’t believe how fast he’s grown this year and how much he’s changed. He’s seriously SO sweet and I just adore him and his family! Here are my favorites from our session, and a little sampling of what you can expect from a mini-session with me!

Dylan Turns Five | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST BABY AND CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER

Today my oldest son, Dylan, turns five. It’s a bittersweet day for me. I love this little man SO MUCH, and it hurts my heart that he’s growing up. He’s so sweet and sensitive, and by far the funniest kid I know! I’m so impressed by him and proud of him. I love him more than life itself! Happy birthday, Dylan!

The ‘S’ Kids | Raleigh and Wake Forest Child Photographer

Sorry it’s been so quiet around here lately! My family and I made the big move into our new home a couple of weeks ago. AND, we got picked to film an episode of House Hunters for HGTV! Talk about a whirlwind month this has been. We had so much fun with the first round of filming, and they’ll be back next week to finish up. Our house is coming together and we’re getting pretty organized and settled in. My NEW STUDIO space is completely amazing, and I have a few little things to finish up before it’s ‘ready’! I’ll be sure to post pics when I have everything finished!

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of photographing three ‘big’ kids — which is rare for me! And wow, what a great time we had. These kids are gorgeous and clearly enjoy each other’s company! Here’s a few of my favorites from their session!
