{Perfection}…Charlotte, NC newborn photographer

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!

Remember this beautiful family from a few weeks ago? Well, their sweet little boy made his debut a couple of weeks ago and I had the honor of documenting them as a family of four.

Here is sweet baby “H.” He is so incredibly adorable. We had a little trouble getting him to fall asleep, but when he did, it was all worth it because he gave us the sweetest little smile. I love how the big sister, mom, and dad just loved on him. I loved all the colors in their home and think it reflects this family so perfectly. They are so positive, joyful, and full of life. Thank you so much “W” family for allowing me the opportunity to document this special time in your lives. Please enjoy baby “H’s” newborn session slideshow here!

I had the wonderful opportunity to document these two first time parents and their beautiful new baby girl a couple of days ago. I was on sensory overload when I walked into their beautiful home…it was beautifully decorated, had tons of light, and I was greeted by an adorable little subject. Thank you so much “S” family for having me apart of this special time in your lives. I hope you enjoy your slideshow here!

I was thrilled when this beautiful new mom asked me to come out to her home to photograph a three generation picture. We also grabbed shots of the new family of three with their sweet dog, Fisher. Thank you so much “G” family for allowing me to document this special time in your lives. I hope you enjoy your slideshow here!

I am playing catch up! I had quite the busy weekend and am looking forward to more sessions this week and weekend. I love my job, especially working with new babies. I also love the part of my job where I get to document families as they grow. Here is the “H” family. I first met them when their second child was just an infant…here she is now…Here is the oldest…love her smile!Here are these two proud big sisters holding their new baby brother…

Thank you once again, “H” family! It is always a pleasure. I hope you enjoy your Walker’s newborn session here!
