Sneak Peak of the D Family

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive.  

~Anäis Nin

I always enjoy photographing my good friend's children.  I have watched J and G grow up.  Miss J and my daughter were in preschool together and have stayed friends ever since.  It amazes me how much they have changed since those days.  We had fun today laughing and singing songs. Of course chasing G around the yard gave me quite a workout!  Here are a couple of my favorites so far.

 

A Special Opportunity

Heaven give you many, many merry days.
~William Shakespeare

I had an opportunity to photograph my sister's wedding.  I am children and family photographer so this was something new for me.  I feel like I learned a lot from the experience and had a great time doing it.  I wish David and Chrissie all the happiness in the world.  Thank you for letting me document your special day.  Here are a couple of my favorites.

Spring Break

'for whatever we lose (like a you or a me)/ it's always ourselves we find in the sea'

~E.E. Cummings

Last week was spring break!  First, we drove to my sister's house in Kingstree, SC and stayed for a couple of days.  I have two sweet nephews that are 3 and 1.  Then we all drove to my mother's house in Kure Beach, NC.  It was really cold out but the 4 kids managed to have a blast at the beach.  We feed the Seagulls which was the coolest thing to watch.  The kids loved chasing the birds.  I was able to snap some great pictures.  

 

  

Sweet Little Boys

'I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear...)'

~E.E. Cummings

I photographed the sweetest family on Sunday!  The S family has two precious little boys that were absolute angels during the entire session.  They made my job so easy!!  It was a little chilly and very windy but we got through with the promise of hot coccoa.  I think I might need to hire Mr. and Mrs. S to sing and dance for all my photo sessions!  They did a great job and got M and G to laugh and smile.  Here are a couple of my favorites.

Yummy Spoonfuls

'Happiness lies first of all in health.'

~George William Curtis

I had the opportunity to photograph the founders of Yummy Spoonfuls!  What an amazing couple with an incredible story.  I think they are an inspiration to anyone starting a business.  I wanted to post a couple of my favorite shoots.  If you want more information about Yummy Spoonfuls check out www.yummyspoonfuls.com.

'To love someone deeply gives you strength.  Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.'

~Lao Tzu

I had my first engagement session today!  It was fun to branch out and try something different.  It was with my sister Baylee and her fiance Clay.  They are the most adorable couple.  We are so excited to have Clay in our family.  I just wanted to share a couple of my favorite shoots.  

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

'Snowflakes are kisses from heaven'

 ~Author Unknown

We finally got our annual snow fall today.  As soon as I saw the first flake I ran and got my camera ready.  I love taking pictures of my kids in the snow.  I think I was more excited about the snow then they were.  We made snow angels, had a snowball fight and built a snowmen family.  It was such a fun day.
