belly laughs

I couldn’t wait for this shoot; I have to admit I have been excited for months to come home and capture these three…..maybe because I am pretty smitten with Miss Emma and knew she would light up the camera, or maybe because it is my sister and her super husband and my adorable niece,  and then again,…

brrrr….

it was definitely a cold afternoon here in Coastal North Carolina.  Despite the less than optimal circumstances, the W family was full of smiles and great spirits!   I met Jill when her son and my oldest daughter were in three year old preschool.

the end to fall

Fall is by far one of my favorite seasons of the year…sadly, it is quickly coming to an end as Winter is making its not so welcome appearance.   The kids are getting excited for the “next’ season, asking daily if it will snow this year.  And it just might here in Coastal North Carolina. We  had our first freezing rain of…

one who amazes me and touches my heart every day.    Our middle child, Mason is sandwiched right in between two sisters.   When my husband and I decided we were ready to have children, I always pictured a house of girls.   I had a brother and two sisters growing up and just saw myself with all…
