Little Peanut | Newborn Photography, Pittsboro NC

Baby Andrew loves to be held, can't get enough to eat and likes to sleep a certain way.  I gathered all these things about him in just a short amount of time.  It's so wonderful to see newborns, barely a week old, have their personality shine through.  Here is sweet, baby Andrew.

 

I love everything about this photo; Dad's expression, the beautiful light, and the cozyness between father and son.

 

 

 

 

 

Mom is glowing here!  What a beautiful family of three!

 

Mom and Dad, it was such a pleasure meeting you guys and your newest addition.  Tell the proud grandparents that it was so nice to meet them too.

3 Brothers | Family Photography, Jacksonville NC

Meet these handsome boys:  Ian (7), Noah (20 months) and Timmy (5).  I knew this shoot would be challenging right from the beginning having 3 high-energy boys mixed in with some very cold weather.  And these boys certainly didn't disappoint.  They kept me on my toes, but I really enjoyed the shoot and not knowing the outcome of it.

I can't wait to see you guys again once it get warmer!  Thanks Mom and Dad.

 

These guys have some seriously, cool hair.

 

Poor little Noah has a broken arm (which does not affect his mobility at all.)  Interesting fact:  Both of his brothers broke their arms around the same age.

Timmy just had a birthday.  Happy Birthday, Timmy!

Happy Valentine's Day | Chapel Hill NC Photography

In college, I remember praying for my future husband.  I prayed that God would keep him safe, give him leadership, keep him pure,  and that he would find strength during temptation.  A year later, God placed Doug in my life.  Doug is all that I could have hoped for and so much more.  I thank God for bringing such a wonderful person into my life.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Miss Isabella | Newborn Photography, Durham NC

Oh, how I love to watch first time parents interact with their precious, new bundle.  It brings such joy to my heart.  It's an absolute honor and privilege to be able to photograph these beautiful miracles.  I am truly thankful for this wonderful gift God has given me. Meet the beautiful Bella at 9 days. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't remember if she smiled before or after she pooped and peed all over Dad.

 

 

 

 

Congrats Mom and Dad on your Bella.  She's perfect.
