Lucas is 1!

Recently I had such the pleasure of getting to capture Mr Lucas' first birthday.  I had such a blast with him! He is such an expressive and loving kid- he was perfect!  Lucas did an INCREDIBLE job hanging in through the whole session.  He gave us some really awesome shots with his smash cake that were only enhanced by the cutest outfit that his mom got for him.  I am so happy to share more pictures from this session!

Thank you guys so much for the opportunity to capture such a fun and exciting milestone in your lives- I hope you love the pictures as much as I loved taking them.

Enjoy!

Such a happy boy!!

I just LOVE his expression on this.

Looking up to Daddy

Momma's Boy 

There is definitely something going on in his head!

And he's off!

Seriously, another great expression!!

Handsome boy!

Hello?! Anybody there??

Happy First Birthday Lucas!!!

Gabrielle Elyse Referral Program- Something for you and them!

I am so excited to announce that Gabrielle Elyse has officially launched a new Referral Program.  Since referrals are largely linked to the success of my business, I wanted to find a way to thank my clients.

For each referral that books and completes their session, you will receive a $50 credit toward your next session.  Additionally, your referral will receive a $25 print credit for their session.

On the Gabrielle Elyse website, the very bottom of the page has a link titled Referral Program.  There, you can find the full details.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions!

Again, thank you for letting me do what I love.

Kursad, Claire, and Laura Photo Session

I can't even begin to say how much fun I had with these three this weekend-  I don't think I stopped laughing the entire time.  There are couples that you meet and you just know they work and make sense- Kursad and Claire are definitely that couple and I think the pictures we got from Saturday show that as well.  I also have to thank Claire's daughter Laura for making my job easy. She was willing to try anything asked and even had some great ideas for her pictures as well- I may have found my future intern down the road :)

Thank you Kursad, Claire, and Laura for letting me capture such a fun and great time in your life- I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Enjoy!

Laura ran up and climbed a tree- we had to catch that!

Love this shot of her

Such a great time on the swings!

I love this picture of Claire- she just looks so happy!

How high can you go?  

Welcome Baby Jeremy!

Getting to take pictures of Jeremy and his family was such a special honor.  He was one of the sweetest and most cooperative babies I have ever met who also just happened to be born on Mother's Day- what a gift?! During my time with his family I was able to witness four generations together.  What a true blessing.

Thank you for welcoming me into your home to capture Jeremy's early moments as part of the H family.

Enjoy!

One of my absolute favorite pictures- I just love the contrast of 1st generation against 4th.

A very proud dad with his son

So sweet!

Perfectly content in mom's arms

Look at him!  Eyes wide open and ready for the world

4 amazing generations!

Happy Family of Three!

Striding In

This past week I had a great opportunity to hang out with the Midtown Raleigh Stroller Strides group for their 4th Anniversary "Amazing Race" workout and potluck picnic.  After an extremely wet storm the day before, we had amazing weather that day.  I have always wanted to check out a Stroller Strides class and seriously considered joining, however, my kids and strollers seem to have built other plans that don't really connect.  I had such a blast and can honestly say that I got a workout as well photographing this event!  Thank you ladies for letting me capture this day for you!

Getting class started

What a great group of ladies and kids!

Awesome Instructors!
