The W Family Take #2

I'm thrilled to bits

to welcome back the W family.

Since our time together last year,

they have added this little man to their crew.

Cutie, right?

I love the thought of being your "family photographer."

Getting to watch kids and families grow.

What an honor.

And just for fun, I'd like to show you

what the majority of family shots

end up looking like.

Only 2 of 5 looking at the camera, or

person A distracted by trying to make

person B look at the camera.

(person B looking perfect btw.)

But, alas...

It's nothing a little persistence and photoshop can't fix.

{Sweet Jules has got many other killer faces too.

Man, I love her spunk!}

And before I digress further,

here's the rest of the W family's mini-sesh preview.

Thanks for the privilege of working with your lovely family. :)

Courtney's Mini-Sesh.

Courtney had the GREAT IDEA

to gift Grandpa with some special photos of his offspring.

We had lots of fun and came up with some lovely shots.

Wouldn't you agree?

Hope Grandpa is tickled pink!

First Mini-Sesh of the Season.

'Tis my first preview of mini-sessions

for this year's holiday season.

I'm having so much fun

getting time with these great families

in front of my lens.

Meet Ginger and family.

There ain't nothin' better than a thick

North Carolina accent, folks.

And the sweet, hospitable personalities to match.

This was Ginger's gift to her sis this year.

What a GREAT IDEA!!!

Thanks for the pleasure of hanging with your peeps!

OMG. How presh.

If you were to google "precious" and do and image search,

I'm pretty sure that this little bean

would be the first photo that would pop up.

Princess Reagan just had her first birthday.

Besides being royalty, she has killer style.

It just doesn't get any better than this folks.

The Giveaway "Twinner"

Meet the winner of my latest photo shoot giveaway:

This is the beautiful Kathleen.

This lovely lady is about to be the mother of 4 boys!

4 boys 4 and under...!

That's right, there are boy twinsies

in momma's belly.

Here, we have the big brothers:

Let's just say that little "big brother"

might not be ready for this transition.

Sharing a firetruck with one brother

is hard enough!

The soon-to-be party of 6.

This goes down as one of my

all-time favorite photos!

I love when people feel free to

be just who they are!

Biggest brother reporting for duty:

They call this little guy a "pistol."

And that he is. A cute pistol. :)

And yes, she really is this sweet and genuine.

All the best to you R fam as you add to

doubly to your family. :)

The S Family

Let's talk about color.

And how b.e.a.utiful color is in photographs.

The S family was not afraid (thanks to a

Momma with great style) to bring out the rich tones.

Britt happens to be a sweet amiga of mine and

so I can vouch for her that she is always fashionably dressed

and this pretty and that her kids are always this cute.

I just love the way that there portraits turned out.

We photographed at a special location that they call

"the exploring place" where they used to play as a family

when the children were smallIt was majestic as could be.

And we had a ball.

What do you think of the latest shots?
