i can’t believe alex is already one.

i love this kid’s hair!

i can’t wait to photograph rachel and chris’ wedding next year.  with beautiful peacocks as inspiration and a lovely coastal town as the setting, mixed with a super fun and laid back couple, i am sure it is going to be amazing!

 

 

One month ago today I was headed to the hospital to have Mason… he didn’t come for another 36 hours but it was worth the wait!  I can’t believe he will be one month old tomorrow.  The saying “The days are long but the years are short” really is true.  He has already changed so much- you can never take too many pictures!

I did a little impromptu shoot with him yesterday.. trying to get some sleepy pics.  As soon as I took his jammies off he woke up..of course.

we have been photographing this little guy since he was a bump in his mamma’s tummy!  tuck has grown into one of the sweetest little one year old guys around.

love the hat!

fun with gramma.

mommy luvins.

here is a little blip of sunshine on this overcast and gloomy day.

amanda + evan are super sweet, super cute, and super smart.  both of them are preparing for their residency!

we met up in evan’s hometown of pinehurst.  what a beautiful place to spend the afternoon!

no amount of rain could put a damper on tara and brandon’s beautiful wedding at the carolina inn!

location:  carolina inn

dj:  steve stowe of joe bunn company

flowers:  dogwood tree floral

cake:  ashley’s cakes

i love this vintage looking wall paper in the parlor of the carolina inn.

how cool is this old phone!

tara is soooo gorgeous!

the first look.

the old well.…a must have chapel hill wedding shot!

how cute are they?!

tara’s dad is so sweet!  he was a little teary eyed when he started thinking about his little girl getting married.

the rain did not hold off for the ceremony, but we got to do some cool umbrella shots outside.

best cake feeding ever!

 

congrats tara and brandon!

Week 2

Thanks to all of our clients for being so patient while I’m on maternity leave!  I’ll be back to doing some computer work as soon as I can figure out this new mom thing!

gabrielle was a rockstar!  we finished up the shoot with her dancing in the rain!

patrick is a man of many faces.  he has a smile that will melt your heart and a fierce “serious” face that even tyra banks would be proud of!

i had a lovely day hanging out with miss loryn in chapel hill.  she has grown up so much since our last shoot!  her personality reminds me so much of liza, sweet, silly and inquisitive.
