Pullen Park Fun | Raleigh Family Photographer

This adorable family contacted me for a portrait session to update some family pictures but also celebrate Mr. S's 1st birthday!  After weighing all the options, the family choose Pullen Park in Raleigh as our destination.  I was so excited since I had never been there before!  What an adorable little park.  :)  We had great weather that evening despite the ominous looming clouds all day - it was almost too bright!  We got some great shots and then had great fun watching S smash his birthday cake.  Isn't the Mickey theme too cute!?  Had a wonderful evening with you, A Family!

 

Sweet Baby Sister | Raleigh Newborn Photographer

This sweet little family is growing!  I can't believe that just about 2 years ago I photographed big sister {as one of my very first newborn sessions}!  And now baby sister has arrived - perfect and sweet.  :)  I had a wonderful morning with the B Family and their new little bundle.  Everyone did great - including big sister!  It was definitely one of those sessions that you could have photographed all day long.  :)  Enjoy, B Family!  Can't wait to see you all again soon!

V-day Family Shoot | Raleigh Family Photographer

What a gorgeous January afternoon to take pictures!  We have really been enjoying mild winter temperatures here in North Carolina.  Perfect for picture taking!  And how cute is the W Family {as always!}?!  Love love the color scheme that they picked out and the fun accessories Mom brought along.  I love V-day for picture taking opportunities - so many fun things you can do!

This adorable family contacted me to do a family session just in time for the holidays.  We decided on the JC Raulston Arboretum as our venue since the family loves visiting there regularly.  I had such a blast hanging out with these guys and chasing little man wherever he went!  Big sister was a huge help though - I couldn't have asked for a more cooperative and sweet little girl.  She posed great for her own pictures and helped corral brother into the pictures.  Mom and Dad were pretty great too - running, spinning, and rolling in the grass just to get the kids to smile.  :)  I had a great time, W Family! 

Family Time | Raleigh Family Photographer

This sweet family decided to do their fall portraits down at Yates Mill Pond.  What a beautiful location!  And only going to get better with the change in leaves.  We had a wonderful evening - cool but not too cold and beautiful light.  I had so much fun with the boys who showed their personalities readily.  :)  The oldest played it cool all through our session and the littlest was doing laps around us.  I had a great time with you L Family - hope you enjoy!

What an awesome baby shower!  Everything was pink, orange and just fabulous.  :)  Mom to the mom-to-be planned the entire thing from Arizona and I would say she pulled it all off with style!  We are SO excited for this little gal's appearance in the fall.

How cute is Miss M!!??!  We had a gorgeous afternoon to take M's 1st year pictures.  It is so hard to believe that I photographed this babe at 8 days old a year ago.  Oh, how time does fly!  Happy Birthday, sweet girl!

{My first stab at a blog collage - still working on it but these are fun!}

2 Years Old! | Raleigh Child Photographer

Miss H is my one and only niece and she just turned 2!  So hard to believe.  Mom and Dad wanted some pictures to commemorate the occasion but also to capture a family picture.  Hope you enjoy C Family!

Sweet Rose | Raleigh Children Photographer

Little Miss N is so sweet and lovely!  We had a great afternoon taking pictures in NC State's Rose Garden in downtown Raleigh.  It was a lovely garden and we caught all the roses right at their peak bloom!  Thanks H Family for a fun afternoon!
