Oh how I LOVE to photograph a baby. It gives me my little baby fix that I need (just enough time to spend with them and then I go home, no diaper changes, no feedings, etc.).
This little guy was very special to me, as I know his mom and dad really well. I’ve known them for a few years now, so finding out they were expecting and then to be able to document their new little boy, I can’t thank them enough. Please enjoy!
Oooh, how I absolutely LOVED this session! This little boy was sweet, sweet, sweet! I haven’t been around a baby in a while so it was so nice to spend some time with him (and of course his parents). He has the best temperment and is just on the verge of sitting (which made for some fun – prop him up and try to click before he tumbles – moments). Please enjoy!

Yesterday was Sydney’s 4th Birthday and her party. While much smaller than last year’s crazy carnival (which was for both) – the girls finally opted to each have a separate party. Sydney’s Bug theme definitely presented a few challenges for me as she’s 100% girly girl (I was fully expecting a princess party request). I truly hope everyone had a great time, I know the birthday girl had an incredible day.

The details….
The calm before… 
The adorable birthday girl…

It is so hard for me to believe that my youngest, my baby is 4 years old today. She is such an incredible little girl. She is full of constant happiness and sunshine – always skipping and singing. She’s compassionate and loving, always willing to share a bite of whatever yummy food she has with you. She LOVES her big sister so much.
She came into this world quietly, in fact, it still frightens me to this day when I think about it – I will always be grateful to the nurses and doctors at UNC for quickly getting that cord off her neck and getting her crying. She is truly such a gift for us and she makes our family complete.
Not only is today her birthday but it’s her birthday party. A fun Bug Fest for her friends to share with her. I’m so looking forward to it. And I promise birthday photos and the special girl soon.
Happy Birthday to our sweet Sydney…we can’t wait to see what this year brings for you!
(The first photo is just 2 days old…the 2nd taken in April of this year).

The “M” family…visiting from California. I was so glad to be able to spend a little time with their daughter. She’s an amazing little girl and the parents are just incredible. Please enjoy!

Last week, I had the great pleasure to document the “C” family. They have a beautiful home with lots of property, it was fun to be able to walk around and find fun places to document their girls. Their lovely girls have gorgeous blond hair…it’s almost fairy-like.
Please enjoy these few!

I had the BEST time with this family on a snowy Saturday morning in February. They actually booked a double session (extra thanks to them) so we had lots of time to play in their house.

Ahhh, Q’s first birthday slideshow is finally finished. Actually I released it on Facebook and Twitter last night. Please enjoy!

Ahhh, I’ve been waiting for Baby H for a long time and he was a great way for me to start the New Year. His mommy & daddy had a gorgeous maternity session last fall and I knew they’d have a beautiful baby. Baby H is just gorgeous, he’s a sweet little boy, oh, he just makes me melt. I absolutely love little ones…he is just 8 weeks old and absolutely perfect. He has just brought so much happiness and love into their house. Congratulations again!
The slideshow will be up next week but until then, a few of my favorites. My very, VERY favorite is the third image (I absolutely LOVE it).

Yay for Baby Q! I was so excited when his mom emailed me over the holidays and let me know that she wanted to set up Q’s one year old session. Not only that, it was my first full session in my new studio and he really worked my place over. It was SO much fun. We crawled around, rolled around. I’m so in love with that space and it’s REALLY great for little ones (because it’s so small) – they are really contained and can’t go too far (but I did realize I need outlet covers – fortunately he’s not an electrical outlet child). I feel especially lucky as I’ve been able to document Baby Q’s mommy & daddy’s wedding, their day-after session (or trash-the-dress), maternity and newborn sessions – so I’ve seen so much of them over the years and I can’t wait to see more of them in the future.
The slideshow will be up in a few days…but here’s some of my very favorites in the meantime. By far my 2 favorites and mommy and baby and the birthday boy in his hat! Happy Birthday to one of the happiest, cutest little guys I know - you totally made my day!

I realize I haven’t blogged in a few weeks and I sincerely hope everyone had a great series of holidays, no matter what holidays you celebrate. I finally was able to spend some great time with my family & friends and I really enjoyed every minute I had. I’m now looking into the start of 2010 and it’s going to be a fantastic New Year! With that, I have some news! I’ve moved my studio from Durham to Chapel Hill, specifically Franklin Street. Ever since I started my business I always wanted to be on Franklin Street – one VERY late night I was searching around, found this space, saw it the next day and set the wheels into motion. Everything moved very quickly and while I wouldn’t recommend trying to move your life around during the holidays – it’s totally doable.
So here’s my cozy new little space – with the emphasis on LITTLE. It’s very little, especially if you ever saw my space in Durham (it’s less than 1/2 that). But I LOVE it. It’s wedged between Sutton Drugs and Firehouse Subs right upstairs in the Loft Offices (and right above Bandido’s). Tons and TONS of great restaurants, shops, well, hey, it’s Franklin Street, it’s just pretty fantastic.
My address is:
157 East Franklin Street, Suite 7
Chapel Hill, North Carolin 27514
And because I LOVE details…had to show some of my favorites, including my darling Sydney, my first studio session (I LOVE that I have windows now and natural light).
And yes, I’m still by appointment only but I definitely hope to be in the studio more often as I’m so close to home as well. So definitely give me a call if you want to stop by, say hi and check out my new space.

On Sunday, I was very fortunate to document a fabulous Senior who will be graduating this year. While this as well isn’t her full blog post…I do have just one. Enjoy!

I was very excited to document Amy’s maternity session. They are not only a gorgeous couple who “fit” together perfectly, but they had this quiet, serene peace about them. I’m sure Amy is going to do a fantastic job when it comes time for delivery and I can’t wait to document their new little one during their newborn session.

I had such a really nice time with Baby S and her mommy and daddy late last week at Duke Gardens. The weather was just perfect that morning for our session. She is the cutest little baby and so content. She’s surrounded by incredibly loving, doting, happy parents, she’s very very lucky.
