what a beautiful family and such a special lil’ girl! talk about A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!  not to mention such a cool name… it was great being able to make memories for this sweet family at their amazing home and in downtown raleigh!

it is unbelievable how fast time flies! it feels like yesterday that i was putting together will’s newborn images…  this lil’ sweetheart is already 6 months old!  those sweet pups + will’s cute expressions made this session so much fun!

ever since luke was born his parents called him their little monkey, so naturally he had the most adorable monkey themed first birthday celebration!  luke was not too sure what he thought about the cupcakes, but the chocolate covered bananas were definitely a hit in his book!  it was the perfect day of family, fun and cute kiddos.

i enjoyed spending time with this sweet family … their new bundle of joy is so beautiful! charlie gave us lots of smiles+peaceful looks of wonder to enjoy!  welcome to the world charlie!

sometimes the stomach bug hits and it just happens to be at the most inconvenient time… this cutie pie’s mommy was sick but we were still able to grab a quick pic of them together and georgia shined on! extended family members were visiting so this was a perfect time to snag a few celebratory shots+some family luv! congrats to georgia on that 1 year milestone!

i have enjoyed being a part of some special memories with this sweet family! i enjoy seeing their family continue to grow!  so much love + joy!

it was so great to meet baby collins!  she is such a cutie and it worked out so well that her cousins were in from out of town to be in a few pics with her!  aren’t they sweet?!

welcome to the world emaline! it has been a great joy helping to make memories with this beautiful family! i had the honor of photographing emaline’s aunt’s wedding along with her adorable cousins and her mother’s wedding… where this all began! i look forward to creating more memories with this awesome family in the future!

what better way to kick off the month of december?! here are some of my favorites from the mini-sessions we did as soon as the beautiful autumn decided to grace us with its presence… i love every bit of joy that is evident within these pics… this is why i do what i do! enjoy!

flash back to some summer weather! what is great about the rossi family session is that we captured some memories from their former home before moving into their new one… brother love, baby joy, and lots of laughter…such an overload of cuteness!
