On The Farm

Raleigh Holiday Mini Sessions Photography

I’m going to be posting so many Holiday minis in January because I am playing catch up from the crazy busy fall. I have loved photographing this sweet family the past couple of years, and their boys are just so much fun, it’s been so sweet to see little sister joining in on all the fun. I love how her sweet personality just adds so much to the session. I think we were all laughing just trying to keep her in the same place as her brothers!

So with the snow coming tomorrow, it has me thinking about board games. I feel like I need to amp up our stash a little bit, especially when snow days come. What are some of your favorite board games? When I was a kid, I lovvvved Monopoly . And on show days, the neighborhood kids – we would all play in the snow for a while and then head inside to play Monopoly . Because in NC, one little snowfall can turn into three days off of school, sometimes our monopoly games went on for days. Owen is actually a huge fan of the game, and it was really cute..He had a playdate with a few friends who are also huge monopoly fans over the winter break, and the boys played for hours. Their rules are a little bit made up and hilarious, but as long as they are having fun, right? So, if anyone has any great recommendations for other games to look into, please let me know! Ok, onto the milk and bread.

The Barn

Raleigh Mini Maternity Photography

It was so great to meet these two this past fall – we had a beautiful evening capturing their maternity portraits. Maternity sessions are always so much fun, documenting those last days before you meet your sweet baby! These two laugh and have so much fun together and it was easy to capture that on camera. I forgot just how beautiful this park can be at sunset, and we even used a spot I’d never been to before. Oh, and I’ve always loved the barn at this park, it’s so beautiful!

I can’t believe just how chilly this winter has become! Brrr!! We just spent a week in Florida (Disney World, yay!!!) in the 70s and 80s and it was hard to come home with the threat of snow. I haven’t even been grocery shopping yet because the thought of putting on 800 layers and leaving the house just sounds like torture with this weather. So instead, I’m in front of the computer editing, watching my latest Netflix series..(right now it’s When Calls The Heart) I may or may not have my Beauty and the Beast Tea  with honey, of course, right with me. (I brought this back from Disney World, and it’s so yummy, I was excited to see it’s on Amazon!!!) I might be using my Chip mug , too! heheheh!  Just wanted to share this sweet session before it’s back to editing!

   Little Blue Truck

Raleigh Christmas Truck Mini Sessions Photographer

I was really excited when Ericka and I chatted about Little Blue Truck Christmas Mini Sessions. These were just so much fun at Back Achers Christmas Tree Farm in Raleigh. We had perfect weather, and all of the kiddos were jus so excited about the blue truck. I love the props Ericka picked out so much, too! The little tree and the lantern were adorable. These two boys together are so so cute, and I love all of the images of this sweet family.

I have to admit, I’m not a huge winter fan. (Being cold is my least favorite thing, ever) Michael bought me tickets to a play in NYC for Christmas and I asked if we could push it out to Spring, ha! I don’t even own a coat warm enough for NYC and we usually don’t need one that warm here in North Carolina….although this week is pretty frosty. But, I have to say, Christmas is a part of winter and I love Christmas. Ok, best parts of winter 1.Christmas. 2.Christmas break (see a trend here) 3.Snow Days (I like looking at the snow and being outside for about five minutes, ha!) 4.Hot chocolate every.single.day. 5.Reading Good books. I have more time in winter to read, which is my favorite! What’s your favorite part of winter?

Hey Santa!

Raleigh Santa Mini Sessions Photographer

It’s me, posting about Christmas for the whole month of January, because I finally get to blog all the magical mini sessions we had this fall! These two boys were so adorable with Santa. Photographing Santa mini sessions really is so much fun to see how excited the little ones are and experience the magic of Christmas.

One thing I also love about Christmas is foooood. It is definitely the most exciting food time of the year for me, ha! We made red velvet nutcracker cakes this year, which was new and super yummy. I also love pretty much all of the Hickory Farms food, which we have on Christmas Eve. We had prime rib at my in laws and beef tenderloin on Christmas Day at my parents..Then there was Christmas Eve Honeybaked Ham and all the fixin’s. (such a Southern word, ha!) And so many desserts, Christmas cookies, strawberry cake, chocolate pies, cheesecake, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, breakfast casseroles, ok, I could keep going on and on. I love collecting new recipes each year..I recently went to a women’s event where a Mama showed us her Christmas notebook where she organized all her presents, recipes, etc, and just got it back out every year. What a great idea! Click here for a blog post I found on making a Christmas notebook, and there are a lot of printables out there for organizing your planner. I love Christmas so much, I would love to plan for it all year long!

O Christmas Tree

Chapel Hill Durham Newborn Photographer

From the moment I walked in, big brother and I were BFFS. We started the session by taking headshots (see here) It was such a sweet morning with this family, and big brother was just so thrilled with his baby brother. (who slept like a dream, which doesn’t always happen at newborn sessions) Most of you know, I love taking photos of the Christmas tree, and the ones of these two brothers together, love, love, love. It was so sweet to see big brother taking off baby brother’s hat and playing with his hair. And playing with his toes, too..soo cute! I am probably oversharing because I just want to post every single image from this session, but I didnt, but I wanted to! And, because it’s winter, had to add the snowflake at the end! (And it sure feels like winter this week! Waiting for it to start snowing any minute..)

And if you are thinking of booking a newborn session for 2018, check out my investment page.
