Look at that angelic face! Baby “C” was quite precious. The words that I feel describe him and his session are…perfect, peaceful, and serene. Mom and dad were so at ease and the love they have for their new baby boy was very evident. I feel honored to have been apart of it. Thank you “C” family for this opportunity! I hope you enjoy your slideshow here!

It’s only been a little over 3 months when Jax was born, but his tininess as a newborn is fading from my memory. He is almost 13 pounds now and it’s hard to believe he was just a few pounds in January. That is why I am so glad to have photographs to remember that fleeting time of him as a newborn.

Meet baby “S.” She has the most beautiful, delicate and tiny features. Mom and dad are very much in love with her…how could they not be! Look at this face! Thank you so much “D” family for allowing me to be apart of this special time in your lives. Enjoy your slideshow here!

What a cutie! I had the wonderful opportunity of photographing this beautiful couple for a “couple’s” shoot two years ago. I was thrilled when one of their friends gave them a baby session with me for their baby shower. This past weekend I got to meet their sweet and adorable new son. I loved the hat and leg warmers mommy found on Etsy. I will definitely have to find some for Jax! Thanks so much you guys! I hope you enjoy your slideshow here!

Here is 6 week old baby “A” surrounded by his loving family. What better way to enter this world, huh? I know Miss “R” is such a good big sister and a huge help to mommy and daddy. I first met this family when”R” was just 3 months old. I cannot belive how much she has changed and grown into such a little lady. I am stoked about getting to photograph their newest addition this year. Thanks so much “W” family…I hope you enjoy your slideshow sneak peek here!

This beautiful couple experienced a little of what my husband and I experienced in the arrival of our new son…a son that decided to come early. This little guy decided to come 3 weeks early, but nonetheless, he is here and is just as precious as can be. I guess our little guys were in a hurry to make their debut. I have a whole new perspective on a newborn session now. When I walked into the “M” family’s home, the new mommy and I embraced as I told her, “I feel like we have been through some sort of bootcamp.” We shared our birth stories and all we are going through right now. I am so glad I got to witness these two brand new parents in love with their first born son. He is perfection. Congratulations you guys! Enjoy your slideshow here!

{Happy 2012!}

Well, it’s that time of year again. A time of looking ahead, saying goodbye to the previous year, and starting anew. I tend to reflect on what I could have done better and the things that I didn’t get around to doing. This year I want to reflect on the blessings, the trials the Lord helped me through, and accomplishments (no matter how small they were). I started 2011 off with going back to my first love by attending the Gift of Memoir class taught by Maureen Griffin. I loved the first class and started going to it every month. I learned so much and was inspired to keep pursuing my goals as a writer.

My husband and I had the wonderful opportunity of spending some time in Rome and Florence, Italy. It was an amazing trip and am so glad I got to see Europe before I have this little one. Here are a few images from our trip:

After I got back from Italy, I had the opportunity to go to Justin and Mary Marantz Spread the Love Tour again. If they are ever in Charlotte again, whether you are a photographer, graphic designer, or some other small business owner, I highly recommend their seminar. It is so inspiring and will challenge you to do what you do even better.

In April I got to participate in Central Church of God‘s High Heels in Action 5K (my 2nd 5K and I beat my time from 2010 by 2 minutes . The proceeds go to help stamp out human trafficking. I plan on participating in this year’s race as well.

In the beginning of June we found out we are expecting! It definitely came as a surprise, especially considering what we were going through, but we are really excited.

I also had the opportunity to go to another David Jay seminar in Charlotte. It was another inspiring and stimulating seminar that I would highly recommend to photographers.

Another thing I wanted to do before I had children was go on another international mission’s trip. In July, I had the amazing opportunity to go to Ambato, Ecuador with a team (including my parents) from Central Church of God. We were able to see the beautiful country of Ecuador, share the love of Christ, and work with the most gorgeous and precious children in the world.

In August, Tracy and I celebrated our 6th anniversary. We had the lovely and talented Megan of Lime Green Photography document these images for us.

In September we found out we are having a baby…boy!!

I had a very busy Fall season and we were able to get away in the midst to visit Tracy’s family in the Charleston area…a well needed break.

I also had two very special baby showers and I turned the BIG 3-0.

We had another lovely and talented photographer (Jenna of Red, White & Green Photography) document us for our maternity pictures. Baby Jax Alan is due in just around a month (which is SO hard to believe). I know my life is about to change drastically and I do not know what to expect by becoming a mother, but I do hope I will become a better person and photographer. I just want to THANK YOU to all the families that allowed me into your homes and lives to document what is near and dear to you. I can’t wait to see what 2012 holds!

I found this quote on Pinterest and it captivated my heart. I can’t imagine (well, in about 6 weeks) what it actually will be like to hold a baby that was once inside….and immediately falling in love.

It always amazes me how quickly a baby’s 1st year goes by. I feel as though I was just photographing baby “I’s” newborn photos. The first three images are of Vanessa and Jason in waiting, of sweet little “I” as a newborn, as a smiley 6 month old, and now as a big boy 1 year old. It was an absolute pleasure watching him grow! Thank you so much “M” family for the wonderful opportunity to document your family this year. I hope you enjoy his 1 year old slideshow here!

I got to hang out with this sweet little guy the other day. He was such a gem…look at how flawless he is! His first time parents are completely blown away by him. His mommy and my sister are very good friends and I actually have known her since high school. It is so neat to be apart of this special time in her and her husband’s life. Anna and Travis, your little one is so precious and I can’t wait to document his first year. Enjoy his newborn session slideshow here!
