it is hard to believe this precious girl is already 6 months old! collins had nothing but A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E smiles+laughter to give during her session here at the whitebox photo farm! i am so happy for this sweet family!

perfect warm weather celebration of this cutie pie’s big milestone of 1! who needs cake smashin’ when you can have plenty of splashin’?! … with popsicles and cupcakes to boot!

my cousin’s beautiful family… welcome to the world william!  your home is filled with love and peace and you have the best big brother ever!  i am so happy to be a part of making memories for my family!

wow, there is so much love to this family! i just know john arnold is destined to be a golfer since he is named after the amazing arnold palmer and will undoubtedly learn a lot from his dad who is an avid golfer!  i was so happy to be a part of making sweet memories with this family!

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!

so much joy to go around during this love/family shoot! i am so excited to be photographing kathleen + glenn’s wedding coming up soon and how heartwarming it was to include the kiddos during their ‘love shoot!’  it was lots of fun on the whitebox photo farm making memories for such a sweet couple!

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.

what better day than today to finally post photos from my 40th fiesta (two years ago!) than on cinco de mayo!  it was so wonderful to be surrounded by so many friends and family on my 40th.  special thanks to anna paschal for these amazing photos!  thank you to leigh pearce for helping with the event and carla white for making me so glam!

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!
