henry is 6 months already!  he is one chill little hipster.  these shots of him with the baby ducks and the baby chicks melt my heart!

madison and brandi were so full on excitement and anticipation as they waited to welcome their little girl to the world.  she is here and perfect and they are out of this world happy!

brooke and hap had one of the most beautiful weddings ever on bald head island a few years back.  it was so much fun to see them and their darling little boy on the island again for family photos.  they were there with some long time friends and their kids.  i love the “extended family” shots of all of them that we took.  20 years from now it is going to be so cool for their kids to look back and see these images.

i love this family and all of their silly antics.  it is always like a big play date when we get together for a photoshoot.

this family is so sweet.  we had such a great time hanging on the farm.  the girls played with the chickens and had a great time on the big tree swing!

first year sessions are my favorite because i get to see how much my tiniest clients have grown since is photographed their newborn images.  i have loved getting to know this awesome family over the past year.

it all started with a beautiful wedding in wilminton, nc that we were lucky enough to photograph a few years back…….and now ruby and rob are expecting a beautiful little boy this spring!  ruby has the most contagious laugh.  we laughed our way all over downtown winston for their maternity photo session.  : )  i can’t wait to meet manuel when he arrives for his newborn photo shoot!

it has been so much fun watching tommy grow so much over the past year!  i love meeting people when i work with them on their engagement photos and their wedding photography and then reconnecting later when they have their sweet babies!  tommy was born with carolina blue blood pumping through his veins.  his mom and dad had their wedding on the unc campus, tommy sported a unc beanie for some of his newborn photos, and for his first year photo shoot we walked around the campus of unc.  it was so special that we were able to do the photo shoot on campus, by the old well and on franklin street, where it all began because the week after the shoot the whole family was moving to boston to start a new chapter in their life.  i am so excited for their new adventure and happy that i was able to help them remember their time at good ole unc.  i look forward to catching up with them next time i am in the northeast and documenting their new life in massachusetts!

little ellie was so sweet for her newborn photo shoot.  she gave me the whole range of her facial expressions….sweet little yawns, smiles, winking and even her cry face was cute!  i loved photographing ellie’s newborn shoot in her modern and hip jungle nursery!  welcome to the world little miss ellison.

this little guy is the smiliest 6 month old ever.  his little crooked smile just melts your heart!
