I got to spend some time with this adorable soon to be family of FIVE! These parents are blessed with 2 beautiful girls already and another one on the way shortly! Doesn’t this momma look great? I don’t know how she keeps her energy level so high and still manages to look great!! Thanks ya’ll for the fun shoot and can’t wait to see which name wins the battle 😉 ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

My oh, my! How Time Does FLY! Turning TWO!

I can’t believe my sweet (and sometimes not so sweet) little girl is turning TWO! Where did the time go? Being a mom has brought me such great joy. This year we learned to walk, run, count, talk in sentences, sing, she’s learned to pray by herself, tell knock knock jokes, can spell her name, and is basically potty trained. We went from being a baby to being a little girl. Everyday is an adventure and I can’t wait to see all she accomplishes in the next year.

Lainey is usually not cooperative for any photo shoot and is completely ignores the camera. But tonight was different. For once I photographed my daughter and it didn’t lead to frustration! There were so many good ones I don’t know which to share!



     


 



 

 

I still have close to 100 pictures that I really really like from this session! Its such a blessing to have such sweet memories attached to these photos!

Normally newborns are photographed within the first 10 days of life…we did Caroline’s just over 2 weeks and she was perfect She was so calm and slept so well. She really loved being on her belly! Here are some of my favorites

These two are near and dear to me! Chrissy really wanted sun flare– but the first day we attempted it was cloudy and there was barely any sun. The second time was gorgeous. We just went to an empty field in our parent’s neighborhood. Enjoy!ImageImage

Meet Addison! She has the prettiest blue eyes and an adorable smile. She is 9 months old and this is the second time I got to photograph her! We took these mid day and there are some shadows but over all I love how these turned out!! 🙂

Kristin, Sean, Grace & Noah

Here are a few of my favorites from a family session I did the other day. The sun was very bright and hot! The kiddos weren’t super excited about pictures but over all I think we got some super sweet ones.

Daniel Bryan– 2 months

It was a beautiful day in New Bern to photograph this handsome little one. Long story short, they missed out on getting his newborn pictures. So even though 2 months can be a  tricky age, we wanted to capture Daniel Bryan while he was still little. He is a beautiful baby and has very loving parents! I hope to photograph him again and would love to see him for his Tol. His mom is hoping for a doctor just like herself!
