I had the pleasure of doing Sydney’s Senior Cap and Gown Session this past weekend.   Sydney is a senior in high school and will be graduating from the NC School of Math in Science in Durham this year.  For those of you who don’t know how that works, she lives at school during the […]

So… Jessie and my daughter, Grace, met in 6th grade in middle school and became friends.  I remember Jessie’s mom, Melanie, calling to invite Grace to Jessie’s birthday party.  In talking, we figured out that I knew Melanie’s sister, Shanda. I used to work with Shanda at a day care when I was 18! I […]

Meet the Bains and Buchanans.  I just love both of these families!!  If you follow me, then you have seen these families quite a bit recently because I did fall sessions for both of them.   This time they wanted both families together with their parents for a group picture .  You see, Buffie and Jimmy […]

This was the first time I have ever offered mini sessions!  I had so much fun doing them!  Thank you to my families and couples who participated this year.    My first session was with Casey and Ryan and their two little boys Eli and Baylor.  Casey and I have worked for the same company […]

Meet Patrick and Madison.  I was thrilled when Patrick reached out to me to do a Christmas Session for them. Having pictures made really isn’t his thing, but he did this for Madison.   (HOW SWEET!)   I have known Patrick since he was a year old!  That sounds crazy to me, but it’s true. […]

Meet Alex.  He is my mom’s best friend who is like family to us and is here visiting all the way from Phoenix, Arizona.  He wanted some photos of the beautfiul colors of North Carolina in the fall.  However, the leaves really haven’t turned their normal vibrant colors (red, yellow and orange) here yet. We […]

Meet Jimmy, Lisa and their baby Eli.  They are just the sweetest family!  At the beginning of our session we couldn’t quite tell what Eli was wanting.  It didn’t take long to find out he wanted to play in the grass. Typical boy even at 9 months old!   So of course, we let him […]

Meet the Buchanan family.  We have gone to church with the Buchanan family for over 20 years.  My Dad became the minister at Brad’s church when we moved here from Ohio when I was 16. We still go to church with them and Brad is now an Elder in our congregation!    I have seen […]

Meet Lauryn.  This little girl is an angel.  I say that not only because she is my neice, but because she has brought so much happiness and joy to our family when we needed it most.   She is a little peice of heaven and sunshine to everyone that comes her way.  She is honestly […]

I had the sweet pleasure of taking pictures for Reana’s Sweet 16 this past weekend!  This girl has a special place in my heart because she has lived right down the street from us since she was a little girl.  Its funny .. She moved in our neighborhood around the time she was into “High […]
