It was such a pleasure photographing their wedding after-party! Their idea of letting balloons go was just wonderful! Thank you A & N! Gorgeous couple & wonderful family!

Ashley ~ Charlotte newborn photographer

I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing this little 7 day old baby girl. She was so precious and just the most perfect little model. I had a great time! Thank you G & S for allowing me to come by and set up there in your house. I hope that A was able to sleep well that night and that you were able to enjoy the rest of your holidays with your little gift! Here's a little sneak peek for you... I hope you enjoy them.

Family Portraiture - Fort Mill, SC

Talk about a FAST photoshoot. Not really the amount of time spent was short, but that the running and keeping up I had to do. HA HA! Little man K is busy, B-U-S-Y! Honestly, it's exactly like my son, always on the run... always checking things out... curious... smart... amazing!
I put together a little collage of my favorites. They've seen the bulk of the pictures by now, but these just hit me. I adore you M family! Thank you for allowing me to come by and spend some time with you.

5 week old newborn photographer - Charlotte, NC

Ahhh.... Newborns! Precious but, my oh my, are they one of the hardest subjects for me. You have to have a lot of patience and a little more time than your typical family portraits. I had so many ideas, that I had a hard time actually implementing. There was one shot that I so badly wanted to get, but just could not execute. SO... to that... I have to say a HUGE thank you to my clients of this ADORABLE little babe for being so patient with me and working with me on all my funny little ideas!! Not to mention, I had no idea how late it was until I was in my car driving off. WOW! I hope your dinner plans weren't ruined by my poor timing! *I really need to get a watch!* ;)

Here's your sneak peek.

Charlotte Photography - 1st Birthday party!!

What a beautiful Labor day weekend! And what's even better, I had the pleasure of being the photographer for this fantastic 1st birthday party. The little birthday girl is absolutely adorable. I photographed her as a newborn and I just can't believe that a year has past already. The party was filled with love and fun with a big group of very sweet family members and I feel so blessed to have been invited to share in the celebration of such a sweet little girl. Thank you G family! Here's a little sneak peek.

*Look at that awesomely cute little initials cake in the bottom center... AWWWW! Made by Elizabeth of Cake Creations*



*It was so nice to have so many family members there. Lots of great memories captured ~ yay!*



*The first birthday cake... oh how fun! I think she really enjoyed every little bit that made it to her mouth (even if it wasn't much - hee hee). I LOOOOVE messy little cakey hands and faces --- cute, cute, cute!*



*And on top of all that, one of the family members just recently got engaged. Such a treat to get to take a couple cute photos of those two!*



*heart*

Waxhaw photography - Three years old!

I had the opportunity to meet up with the cutest little 3 year old Ev-ah! I put together a couple story boards for that as well. Look at those amazing blue eyes! She is just so precious... I'm so happy I could photograph her!


And I just love the attitude in that middle right photo.


Thank you T family. I love you guys!
