Sweet Parker | raleigh children’s photography

This little guy is too cute for words!  I have been photographing him since he was in his mommy’s tummy!  He is now a 2 year old with a mind of his own.  He is very opinionated with a twinkle in his eye.  I think he knows he is cute and uses it to his advantage!  Take a peek…

The END…

Logan Squared | cary teen photography

Two Logans - one session!  Many of you will recognized the first Logan as Stephanie’s beautiful daughter.  Well, her best friend is also named Logan and is just as beautiful!  These two girls have been friends since preschool and they are like two peas in a pod.  We had a great time doing a session to celebrate their upcoming 16th birthdays.  We did some outside the studio around downtown Cary and then went back to the studio for some more.  Man, I wish I looked this good at 16….

 

 

Little Miss Brooke | cary children’s photography

I just love this little girl!  She just oozes personality and she is smart as a whip!  This session was supposed to be for she and her little brother but it ended up being all about Brooke.  Jake wasn’t about to have his picture taken (2 year old - go fiqure!).  Isn’t she just a doll?

We did get some really cute ones of Jake, too!

Sweet Girl | raleigh baby photography

This sweet little girl came in for portraits to complement the ones we did for her brother 2 years ago.  She was so super easy to work with with.  She smiled the whole session.  I could have photographed her all day!  Big brother was there too, but he was not into getting his picture taken that day.  He was very fast!

Beautiful Newborn Girl

I photographed this sweet little girl a few weeks ago.  She had beautiful sparkly eyes and was very alert.  She also let us get a few sleepy images at the end of the session.  Isn’t she precious?

Super cute brothers

This was one of my favorite recent sessions.  These two boys were so sweet and so very cooperative.  The session was meant to focus on the youngest brother so we could get images to complement the ones was got 2 years ago of big brother.  At the end of the session we let them splash around in a little fish pond and got some great images!  Take a peek…

Loved, Loved, Loved this session!!

DId I say I love this session?  This little girl was so much fun and so full of personality.  She was very confident and I think the images really give you a peek at who she is.    Isn’t she a doll?

Big Sis, Little Sis

I have been very bad at posting to my blog this past summer!  I have had so many fantastic sessions to share, but time has eluded me.  I am going to make a concerted effort to post more this fall.  The list of sessions sitting in front of me that I want to share is scary long, but I will start with this one…

This was a newborn session for baby girl # 2.  I photographed big sis when she was a newborn, too!  It is always so sweet to me to watch little 2 year olds interact with the new baby in the famliy.  It is just so precious!

Open House and Auction

We Moved!

Well, most of you already know that we moved, but here is the official announcement!  I am so excited about the new studio.  I LOVE it!  I was a little sad to leave the downtown Apex studio, but the new one is so much more convenient for me and it is in a better location.  We have done a lot of remodeling and are finally done with that part.  I still have a lot of decorating and odds and ends to take care of, so no pictures of the inside until I have it looking exactly like I want it!

We are now at 200 South Academy Street in Downtown Cary in Ashworth Village.  Here are some picutres of the outside…
