Saturday afternoon was simply beautiful. Okay, it was a little chilly…but it is November. It was one of those days that I was glad to have a client session – and especially at sunset. I was even more excited that that client session was with my dear friend, Pam and her family. Pam and I go way back…14 years. Gosh, we’re old. I met Pam during my first year of college. I was rooming with a girl who went to her high school (we grew up in the same general area). We knew many of the same people so it seemed only appropriate for us to be friends too. And...

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of photographing Adam, Christina and Tyler at Yates Mill in Raleigh, NC. Yates Mill is usually flooded with photographers and their clients…so it was nice to come on an “off” day. Okay, so it was also 40 something degrees outside, but the leaves were still beautiful. As far as I’m concerned, we had a perfect afternoon. Adam and my husband have been friends for a lifetime…well, since college. I met Adam a few years ago and it was as if I met the male version of myself. He’s also a photographer so we enjoy...

One of the many things that I love about my photography business is that I have an opportunity to help create memories for my friends. It brings me such joy to see photos that I’ve taken float around Facebook during this holiday season. I feel so blessed to be able to do what I do. On that note, I met up with my college friend, Kellie, and her family on Sunday afternoon at our alma mater. The last time I saw her daughter, Lillie, she wasn’t walking (July)…but on Sunday, she was almost at a full run. I did my best to keep up! I won’t talk much more...

On Saturday morning, I met up with the “B” family for some quick family portraits. As it turns out, quick was all we needed – this family is so beautiful and photogenic that they nailed it within a little more than a half hour. These are some of my favorite shots, but I could have easily posted every single shot in their gallery. For one…these kissing cousins are way too cute. Okay, so they will probably kill their mothers for this later, but right now, they are adorable. Then I love this group hug with G G. When I took this shot, I immediately knew...
