Miss "S" is 5!!!!! | Cornelius, NC Photographer

Where did the time go!? I met little "S" when she was about 16 months old and still trying to figure out that walking business. I can't believe she is now turning 5 and going to Kindergarten next fall! Seriously that means I'm getting OLD! haha

This session was fun. "S" was really playful and loved for me to pretend to be the big bad wolf and blow the house (or in this case to blow "S") down. Mom even brought her Halloween costume and it was a lot of fun to dress her like a cowgirl. She loved my handcuffs too (an old prop I used when my Eli was about 7 months old).

Enjoy! Lots of smiles here :)

Abby is THREE! | Charlotte, NC Photographer

I've been taking pictures of Abby since she was 2 months old. I love this little girl like she's my own. She's so smart and funny and loves to do everything!

The day we did these photos it was 40 degrees outside (middle of October is normally much warmer here) and everyone was freezing including me. Abby however ran around like it didn't even bother her, but she did want some hot cocoa...which we did get after walking a few blocks and finding a Starbucks.

After the cocoa we were supposed to get a few family pictures but it just didn't work out. The wind really started blowing and everyone was pretty miserable. Next time for sure!

These were in uptown Charlotte. I love this location for big kids!!

A 1950s Style Shoot | Cornelius, NC Photographer

"J"s boyfriend bought her a gift certificate for a "50s photo shoot" early this summer as a birthday present for her. She really loves Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn and we tried to recreate some of their poses. Not only was it fun looking for the inspiration but "J" sure can model. We had so much fun!! I really would love to do something like this again in the future!

Late Summer Wedding | Charlotte, NC Photographer

In September I was honored to shoot as a second photographer again at a wedding in Lancaster, SC. The whole day was beautiful and everyone I met at the wedding were truly good people. I'm happy I was able to be part of their very important day!

Being a second photographer sometimes it is hard to get the "portraits" of the bridal party and family (because the main photographer is doing that)...but I really liked these pictures from the ceremony. Standing at the back I had a great view of everything!

6 month old "M" | Cornelius, NC Photographer

"M" was a very serious girl on Saturday although I was told several times that she is normally very happy and smiley. I did catch a few smiles, but mostly she was just very serious. However she looked every time I said her name...I love that eye contact!! She’s such a smart little girl :)

Maybe next time we'll see more smiles, but I think I like a lot of these even without them. Also she rocked the petti-skirt and hair band. Such a girlie girl!

Enjoy!

Newborn Baby "Z" | Cornelius, NC Photographer

Newborns are always the sweetest! Baby "Z" is no different other than he already holds his head up somewhat (from tummy time) and already giving great eye contact! What a big boy already at 10 days old! He gave us a time during his shoot because he wanted to be awake the whole time. However, I was able to get a few really sweet sleeping shots and a lot of great awake shots with eye contact. That never happens with a newborn! Way to go "Z"!
