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*

More of C & A - Just too cute!

We went to a new community that's being developed in Waxhaw for this shoot. They are really making it a pretty area. C & A are just so darn cute that I had to share a couple more of them.

She's starting to get her bottom teeth... can you see them?!! ;)


I just think this is cute...


And C just really did not want to have his picture taken:


But we got a couple smiles to break through! (hee hee) ;)

And this one... this is my favorite!!


And then we tried to get some shots of the two of them... and we told C to try to make A laugh so he did Peek-a-boo. My guess is about anything her brother did, she'd smile. ;)


Thank you again E & W for allowing me to take their photos.

Bridal Shoot - Charlotte, NC - The Mint Museum

Beautiful Miss D... she has the most wonderful smile ever! Turns out she was Miss Photogenic in High School... and I can certainly see why. She made it so easy on us. Have to say again, a big Thank you to Larue with LEdwardImagery for allowing me to come along and take some photos.







She was so much fun and so very beautiful!

Wedding - Charlotte, NC - second shooter

I'm running a little behind on posting to the blog ~ things are going so well that I'm feeling a wee bit overwhelmed!! This is a good thing! Every weekend in April is booked and May is filling up quickly. I did a wedding a couple weekends ago with the fabulous Larue with LEdwardImagery (THANK YOU!). Here is a sneak peak:



I love that in this next picture he's helping her with her shoes... they were so cute together and you could just see how in love they were.

Look at how they look at each other!!

Happily married:

The last one of just the bride... I love the sun in this one...

And then I traveled to PA with my awesome kiddos to visit family for Easter and my daughters 4th birthday. It was SUCH a great time. Family, bowling, Easter eggs, Egg hunts & birthday parties... WOW! A few images to showcase the weekend below.

Bowling!
