    Sands Family | Raleigh, NC | Lifestyle

    Nov 17, 2011 Family + Kids Lifestyle
    This adorable family has been on the blog before when Carla Jo was about 8 months pregnant with Jackson and then again just after Jackson was born. There is lots of love in this post as Carla Jo and Jon just celebrated their 2 year anniversary earlier this month and little man Jackson will be turning 1 in December. For those that don't know, Carla Jo was my pot-luck college roommate (all 4 years!) and is one of my very best friends. My how the time flies! Carla Jo and Jon are one of those couples that are always smiling and laughing...and as you can see below, Jackson has taken after his mommy and daddy. During this photo shoot the entire NC State cheerleading team walked by and "ooohhhhed and awwwed" over Jackson....and he didn't mind one bit. Watch out ladies, he is going to be a little heartbreaker, just look at those GORGEOUS eyes! Of course I had to get a few shots of just Carla Jo and Jon... I can't wait for Jackson to celebrate his 1st birthday, so exciting! Love you all!

    Welcome, November!

    Nov 01, 2011 Business Lifestyle Wedding
    Happy  November friends! I get so excited for November 1st. Not only is it one of my very best friend's birthday (Happy Birthday Carla Jo!) but also because the holidays are right around the corner now which means fun times ahead with family and friends, lots of yummy food, Christmas trees start to go up and I get to watch ELF (but I will try to resist until December 1st).  This fall has been a whirlwind of fun for me as I have had the opportunity to photograph such wonderful couples and families all around the East Coast. Here are sneak peeks of what I'm currently working so be on the look out as they hit the blog over the next couple of months :)

    Marla + John Lindsay + Dave Little Man Jackson Spencer + Anna Grey Kristen + Josh Sweet baby Ivy Lyndsey + Sam Laura + Chris Allie + Steven The Briscoe Brothers Eleanor + Drew Oh my, I am seriously so thankful for my clients! So what do you love most about this time of year?

    Nelson Family…and Eli’s debut | Wagram, NC | Family

    Sep 20, 2011 Family + Kids Lifestyle
    Terry and Vince just celebrated 41 years of marriage earlier this year. I just love the second image of them below because after all those years they still look so in love. Not only did they have a great anniversary to celebrate, but they also welcomed their second grandchild into the family this summer. I met up with everyone at their farm to take some family photos...I was so excited to see Piper and finally get to meet baby Eli! Piper, the oldest grandchild for Terry and Vince, is such a little mama's girl. She turns three in November and it amazes me how much she has learned since the last time I saw her. Now meet baby Eli. One thing I learned about him (besides the fact that he super cute) is that this kid can seriously sleep anywhere. He was asleep just moments before this photo and after we woke him up he was asleep seconds after this was taken.  Who doesn't love baby feet? I know I do. So sleepy. Getting your photo taken is HARD work for a little guy.  Everyone all together with Eli trying to squeeze in a power nap ;) Thanks for having me! Piper and Eli are going to have so much fun growing up  as cousins!
