I love baby milestone sessions in the studio, and with the weather right now, it’s the perfect time for indoor portraits. Some days can be super warm and some are freeezing, it’s just hard to tell what the weather will be like this time of year. This little one was so absolutely adorable with his Mama, just wanting to snuggling her and giving us lots of laughs, too. So many precious portraits, can’t wait to share all of them!

S and T’s Soda Shoppe Minis

This was one of those minis where we didn’t have a lot of extra time planning ahead, and I was so impressed how the Mamas were able to get wardrobe together in such a short amount of time. (See more of our S and T’s Soda Shoppe Valentine Minis here) Their dresses and his little vest with the bowtie were perfect. Ericka and I went to the Soda Shoppe beforehand..and I may have gone three times. (my boys were so in love with the place..so many strawberry milkshakes and banana splits!) That banana split was pretty amazing looking! I think I might just have to go back and try it ha! I have mostly gotten the strawberry milkshake because my four year old loves everything strawberry and the milkshakes are so huge that you can split them. (And now as I’m typing this, I now reallly want some ice cream. Good thing I am too tired to go anywhere)

The styled minis are so much fun to plan from start to finish. We have quite a few Spring/Summer minis planned, including our Coastal minis. Most of our minis are almost sold out, so if you are interested in a Spring/Summer styled mini in 2018, contact us ASAP. So many fun sessions planned for 2018. Sometimes we repeat a mini, but we also like to throw in some unique ones like this super fun Soda Shoppe Mini. S and T’s is such a great place and you can read more about their history on their website here.

Let’s Go to The Shoppe

Raleigh Mini Session Photographer

Raleigh Mini Session PhotographerP I N this to pinterest

One of the best parts of S and T’s Soda Shoppe is the music. (I love this song…..so kinda where I got the title of this post from) I grew up driving around in my daddy’s big truck listening to oldies so I just love them so much…and I can probably tell you all the words to any oldies songs. Of course, we had to take some pictures with the beautiful jukebox at S and T’s. And when you are there, you get to listen to the music so totally adds to the authenticity of the Shoppe. One thing I love about these images is how much I love them in color and in black and white. The Soda Shoppe vintage look is so pretty in black and white!

Can we just talk for a minute about how cute this Mama dressed her little ones? We just could not stand the cuteness when they got there. And their hair, amazing! Love every single image of these three! And the fact that she threw their outfits together within a week was equally impressive. (You can see all the new releases from this adorable clothing line here) Can we also talk about the ice cream and milkshakes we had during the shoot? I was so impressed at the kids being so patient and I am still shocked that no one tried to take a bite at all during the mini sessions! This was our last mini session of the morning and Ericka was so amazing at keeping us on schedule.  Sometimes we can kind of relax and not stress about time, but this was one of those days where we didn’t have even an inch of wiggle room and had to stay right on schedule. I can not stress about the time schedule as much sometimes and Ericka will make sure everything is running smoothly. Of course, she is awesome.

S and T’s Soda Shoppe

Raleigh Valentine’s Day Mini Sessions

 

So I’m probably going to go back and share each and every one of these sessions on the blog because I love them so much! This was a bucket list of mine..one of those sessions Ericka and I have talked about for forever…and we were just so so happy and thankful that we got to make it happen this year. First of all, if you have not been to S and T’s Soda Shoppe in Pittsboro, just go ahead and take your kids. You will lovvvve it. It’s worth the drive if you are in Raleigh, and they also have fun antique stores and a super cute toy store in town. There’s also a woodworking school next to the Soda Shoppe. (Pretty much, I heart Pittsboro) We were able to use a very limited amount of time at the Soda Shoppe and so we only had a limited number of spots. And we soaked up every single second that we were there. Ericka and I were running around like crazy, whirling the kids through a fun time at the Soda Shoppe with ice cream. And some of us stayed for lunch. S and T has been featured in Our State Magazine and is just such a neat spot if you are an antique (or ice cream, ahem!) lover. If you were a fan of the Rathskeller in Chapel Hill, they also serve some famous things from their menu including The Gambler and famous Bowl of Cheese.  They are open from Tuesday to Saturday, and you can read over all of their history here. If you go, make sure you get ice cream for dessert, either  a milkshake or banana split (yum!) Harrison absolutely loved the Soda Shoppe and keeps asking when we are going back!

I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library 

-Jane Austen

Trader Joe’s flowers. They are the bessssst. And with valentines coming up, always a good reason to pick some up, right?

The Woodwright’s School in Pittsboro. How cool is this place? Ericka and I got to see a class in progress while we were there last week, and what an amazing place. I Need to find out if they have classes for kids because I will be signing Owen up! (You know I love all things Old Salem and Williamsburg, so I am all about this. And if you haven’t been to Pittsboro, it is worth the trip!)

Sweet’s Syrup.  A dear friend of mine told me about this, so we are currently taking all the elderberry to hopefully ward off more sickness. The kids love the way it tastes, too!

Renting videos on Lifeway.com. I recently bought a new Bible Study at Lifeway for my quiet time everyday, and I love that you can rent the videos that go with it. So many great videos to watch here.

Giving keys has a mini collection – love these! 

Addis Jemari. This week I photographed their new collection of bags. Not only is this non profit amazing, but the bags are so beautiful! I can’t wait to share all of the images soon!

Katie Daisy Baby Swaddles are coming soon! Katie Daisy is one of my favorite artists (see her new book here!) and I am so excited that she is coming out with baby swaddles soon!

 Stranger Things Valentine Cookies. yesssss!!!

I really still can’t stop listening to Ed Sheeran and Andrea Bocelli. On repeat, all day everyday. My kids are so tired of hearing it, I am sure. If you haven’t seen it yet, watch now. which reminds me I haven’t listened to it yet today, so turning it on now…I’m always walking around the house…”Dentro la nostra musica….”

After finishing When Calls The Heart, there is a Christmas special on you tube. Love how tv is now with the apps you can watch you tube on the tv. I’m so thankful for my husband, I’d still be watching my college tv and vhs. (We just recently got rid of this tv…)

I somehow missed that you can get pineapple upside down cake with your Dole Whip because I am always in the zone and order, “Pineapple pineapple float” as soon as it’s my turn. So next trip I will be ordering this.

This week I finished The Woman in Cabin 10. It was a really good quick read for me, right up there with  Gone Girland  The Girl on the Train. (If you liked both of those books, this is a good read)

Owen and I finished reading aloud In The Belly Of The Earth I will admit, it was a little intense but my sweet seven year old just loved it, and it was a great way to spend time together. I just wanted to get to the ending so badly, I almost cheated and read it while he was at school.
