what better way to spend your birthday than surrounded by your children and your grandchildren! it makes my heart so happy that i was able to capture these memories for this sweet family as they celebrated the matriarch of their family on her birthday!

these images might be my new faves for family pics. i just love emmaline’s giant smile and her expressions of pure joy and wonder in these photos! what a sweet family!

the village of pinehurst is so quaint and a golfers paradise. it was the perfect setting for this little guys one year old portrait session. he is named after a famous golfer after all!

this family!!! what can i say?  they are one of the coolest, kindest and most loving peeps that i know.  first up, the parents….ummm, i mean, how in love are they?  seeing them working as a team and loving parenting together is awesome.  next up, the kids….three boys, all totally unique in their personalities and celebrated by each other and their parents for their individual talents.  when you have two awesome parents you wind up with pretty awesome kids! 

happy birthday sweet little charlie!

it has been such a pleasure watching this family grow from two, to three, to four! this was the last shoot of little em’s first year sessions, but big sis was in the mood to ham it up for the camera!

a lot can change in 6 months! i realized that i never posted allie’s photos from her 4 month shoot. when i went back to look at them i was amazed at how much this little cutie has changed in the past 6 months. her wild hair and her cute personality has really started to show.

i love this winter family portrait session of the watkins family on the whitebox farm. we may or may not have stopped a few times (or a lot of times) to let our fingers and noses thaw because of the brutal temperatures, but you would never know it from these great smiles! it makes me so happy to capture so much love in this sweet family! hair and make-up by Sarah Broyhill
