Full of Life | Family | Fayetteville, NC Photographer

I am not going to lie ... when the momma of these beautiful children contacted me for a session, I was over the moon thrilled! They are the cutest kids, like ever, and that's saying a lot because I see cute kids all the time! ;)

She wanted cute and candid shots of the children all to gather and some by themselves. She kept telling me, "I'm not too worried about my girls, my boy though, he won't sit still at all." I mean, really what 2 year old does sit still? I know my 2 year old doesn't sit still. ;) But she wasn't lying, he is just as rambunctious as my little one. But wow, his personality is the greatest! He was making me laugh the whole time.

And the girls!? So well behaved and just rolled with everything I put them through. I had them chasing their little brother, holding his hand, and pulling big sister duties the whole time. And they still gave me the upmost best respect any child (including my own) has ever given me. What ever mom and dad are doing, they're doing a great job raising these children.

And I mean, they obviously share a special bond and love between them that radiates off of them and inspires their children.

 

 Beautiful family, inside and outside. Thank you for choosing me as you photographer and I look forward to being your photographer in the future! <3

Bringing Warmth to Fall | Child | Fayetteville, NC Photographer

This session was technically in July ... but I haven't blogged it yet and now I'm preparing to photograph these awesome children again for Christmas! I cannot wait to see how much they've grown since July! I did little man's newborn session and couldn't believe he was walking in this session!

These guys had me running around sweating my butt off but I mean, look how cute their portraits came out?! Have I mentioned I can't wait to see them in a few weeks?!

The below pic was sister's idea. I love that she brings ideas to the session. She is a pistol and super creative! PS, she's also a GREAT big sister!

By the end of the session, little man was hungry and we were bribing him with crackers ... yep .. I HAD to take this picture. haha! My favorite of the session!

Country Sunset Dreams | Family | Fayetteville, NC Photographer

You know, many of my homecoming clients become some of my best clients ... and friends. This sweet family is one of those couples. I mean, I spend so much intimate time with them as they prepare to welcome home their loved one. I'm there when they're freaking out. I'm there when they're jumping up and down with excitement. I'm there to comfort them when they can't find their hero in formation. And I'm there to share in the joy of a safe return. But most of all, I love watching their families grow and reconnect. So when a homecoming client asks for a family session before PCSing (a bittersweet part of my job working so close to the military), I of course jump at the opportunity!

I mean come on?! How cute are they?! Oh and they put up with the sweltering heat this evening ... in the sun .... and still was able to smile and have fun. What troopers!

To change it up a little ... and get out of the hot sun. We headed to the shaded area under the tall pine trees that North Carolina has such an abundance of! ;) Ic an't believe this little man is THREE!

And his sister ... one already!  .... man, they grow so fast!

But let's face it ... being an adorable model in the heat isn't always fun and sometimes.... just sometimes, you have a literal meltdown. ;)

I'm sorry but this series was too cute not to share. Big brother was there to comfort sister and ... well, even if she didn't want the kiss on the forehead, he did it anyway. hahaha!

But no good deed goes unnoticed. She snuggled with big brother and my heart just freaking melted. A brother and sisters love cannot be broken. I love it!

Back to School Winner | Child | Fayetteville, NC Photographer

This young man's momma won a free back to school mini session! And you know the silly part, she's a photographer herself so this kid knew exactly what to do. LOL I did have to tickle him a tad though because, just like my boys, he knows to give me the cheese smile. LOL

Isn't Methodist University's ground gorgeous?! If I could take clients here all the time, I sure would! Though security might start to wonder when I pull out a desk, props, and a bunch of children file out of a school bus! ;)

 And of course, because she's a photographer and her hubby is on an unaccompanied tour, I HAD to get pictures of her and her baby boys to surprise daddy. I just had to! I mean, how stinking cute are they?!
