Sweet Sawyer {greensboro nc newborn photographer}

I was able to meet & photograph sweet baby Sawyer this weekend! His mommy is a firefighter for the Greensboro Fire Dept. and I was thrilled to get the chance to create these beautiful images and incorporate her career into the session! I hope she will love them as much as I do! Thanks J&A for allowing me to create these memories for you! Enjoy your peek!

the "L" family {oak ridge family photographer}

I was thrilled when I was contacted by Carla to do photos of her sweet family! Carla and Brent are newlyweds and she wanted some beautiful photos of her family including her two handsome boys! They know the owners of a local farm and and I was so excited to get to photograph them on this amazing landscape! The light at sunset was incredible!!! Our session was a ton of fun especially with the boys, Brent included, constantly making funny antics to drive Carla crazy! Poor thing :) All in all it was a great session and their photos are among my favorites! I hope they will think so too! I had to create a collage so you can see them all together! Thanks B&C for choosing me to capture these beautiful memories for you!

the "T" family {jamestown nc family photographer}

This is the sweet "T" family! They have 3 of the cutest little girls on the planet and I was thrilled to get to hang out and photograph them again. You might remember their youngest, Emmelynn, from this session. Such a cutie pie! Their middle child, Morgan, is a spirited 3 year old full of energy and their oldest, Savannah, is a special needs child with the sweetest smile....when she chooses to bless you with it of course :) I truly enjoyed capturing these photos for such a special family! Thanks J&J for letting me create these memories for you!

Dallas Max: a surprise Texas shoot {greensboro nc newborn photographer}

I just returned from a surprise visit to Texas to photograph my newborn nephew, Dallas Max. He was born 2 weeks ago and with the help of my brother-in-law and mom (who was already visiting) we made arrangements for me to fly out and surprise my sister, Daniah, with a visit and newborn session! She had NO clue I was coming! When I arrived, along with my dad who decided to join me, my brother-in-law made an excuse to leave the house to go to the hardware store. He picked me up from the airport and I was able to sneak into the house and non-chalantly walk into the living room like it was an ordinary day. My sister stood in disbelief for a moment until everything registered and then the happy tears came pouring out! She was so excited and shocked to see me! It was so great to be able to surprise her like that. I stayed for 5 days and captured some special memories for them during my visit.

My beautiful sister Daniah sharing a quiet moment with her new son!





My sister created the cutest little wall display in Dallas's nursery so I knew I had to get a shot of him in his room! I LOVE it!




Proud BIG brother, Jerry. He turns 3 in 2 weeks. Crazy how different their hair color is. Jerry was born with fiery red hair!




I had to get in a little snuggle time too! My own "baby" is 3 so I have to get my baby fix whenever I can!




And I can't forget about Rico. He is seriously one of the sweetest cats ever! Jerry torments him constantly and Rico just takes it like a champ. He loves to cuddle and I often would wake up at night to find him sleeping on my legs, lol! Oh, and he has this crazy fetish about climbing up and sitting high on your shoulder...yes, he's weird. If you bend over for any reason he will jump on your back and climb up over your shoulder and stand...and did I mention he's HEAVY!



It turns out that my sis lives just 10 minutes from a friend of mine who I "met" a few years ago through etsy. We did a trade. She made shoes for Ella and I made a dress for her Mia. You might be familiar with her work. Jessica is the designer/owner of Joyfolie. We've kept in touch through email through the years and I got her hooked on the Twilight book series back when the first movie came out. Since then we've compared notes on the books/movies and family life and have often talked about how fun it would be to actually meet for coffee someday. How coincidental that my sister moved just minutes from her a couple years ago. It was so nice to be able to sit down together for a yummy brunch and share about family and business stuff in person. If you're not familiar with Joyfolie you should definitely check them out. One of her designs was recently seen on the red carpet! There's a lot more great stuff in their future ;)



Well, I made it safely home and am so glad I had the opportunity to take this Texas trip to see Daniah and her growing family. With kids of my own it's hard to drop everything and travel. Thanks so much to my hubby for suggesting that I go and for making it possible for me to leave while he attended to our kids and home. I love you hon, muah!

Back 2 School Minis are Here!!

Since I had so many people oooh and aaah about Halle's recent "Back to School" session I've decided to offer a limited number of slots for vintage back to school minis! Act fast if you want your little one captured in this unique way! This is such a great alternative to the ho-hum boring school photos!

Vintage Back to School Photo Shoot {greensboro nc childrens photographer}

I've been wanting to do a styled photo session for some time now and with Halle staring Kindergarten on Friday I knew that a vintage back to school shoot was in order. I've spent the last several weeks putting together a mix of props that would bring this session to life. I pulled things from my home and scoured the internet and local antique shops for treasures that would give this vintage shoot some feminine flair. Finding the perfect vintage books was the biggest challenge. I knew I wanted children's classics or timeless novels AND the covers had to be the perfect pastel shades to coordinate with the clothing I selected... a gray polka dot dress, yellow ruffle flats, and a gorgeous hairpiece that was the color inspiration behind it all! This entire shoot was a labor of love and I am thrilled to have these beautiful images to document such an important milestone in my daughter's life...starting Kindergarten! Enjoy the deliciousness!!

the "H" family {greensboro nc family photographer}

The "H" family are very dear friends of ours and I was more than thrilled when Melissa asked if I would help create some family portraits for them. I mean who wouldn't want to photograph such a beautiful family! Our session was a little chaotic to say the least since I had to bring my own crew along but we had a great time and I am in LOVE with the images! Thank you D&M for allowing me to create these portraits for you! I hope you will love them as much as I do!
