I love photographing families at home so I was thrilled when this mama asked me to come over and photograph some sweet moments of their family to celebrate their baby boy turning one. He has the prettiest brown eyes and was just so content to be photographed – playing with all of his favorite toys, bubble bath time, reading books with Mommy and Daddy, just his normal everyday at home. I had another Mama tell me this week how they were so happy they waited for their newborn session to give their little one’s first bath so that they could both be a part of it and not have one person who is giving the bath stressed or the one holding the camera try to get in pictures, too. This session reminded me of that – how nice it is to have someone else come to your home and just photograph your life, what you do everyday without the stress of one person always grabbing the camera. Sweet authentic moments with your family – just love these. This also was one of those sessions where I was like, I love the color, but man, I love the black and white. (so there is both in this blog post and probably a lot more black and white than I normally post, but I love them!!!!!!!!)

Today’s weather was just another reminder that Spring and Summer are just around the corner. I am soooo excited. Who else can’t wait for warm weather, evenings at the park, lightning bugs, (bug spray, especially for me. They just LOVE me for some reason) the beach, (Coastal sessions – yay!) ice cream, flip flops, and popsicles. Hurry up warm weather!

There is so much joy and love in celebrating a year. Years can come and go so quickly, but a baby’s first year, wow. It can be a very slow year but also fast at the same time. (Right? Does that make sense to anyone else?) It’s like you blink and your baby’s a year, and you have no idea where that time has gone. This sweet session was all about celebrating that joy and love for their sweet baby girl and her first birthday. Images are lifelong memories, heirlooms, and treasures – don’t forget to print your photos and hang them on your walls, put them in picture frames for your little ones to look at, or in an album to pour through together. I know my four year old loves looking at how he’s grown and changed and it gets very offended if anyone tries to change which image is in a picture frame! This mama always dresses her girls so cute, and I love all the images we got of the four of them together – joyful, happy, and full of love. And today is such a reminder that Spring is coming. (yay for warm weather!) and many outdoor sessions soon!

The weather was just gorgeous the morning of this session. I have photographed this family once a year for I think three years now, and it was so great to photograph their sweet baby girl, too! (I was on maternity leave when she was born) This location could not have been more fun – and big brother loved it – jumping and running and playing. I have usually photographed families here only in the evenings so it was fun to be at the park in the morning before everything opened. This session was in October, and it was nice that some roses were still blooming, and everything was still so pretty and green. (I miss everything being green – who is with me?!?) Although, I will admit, winter sunsets can be just so gorgeous (See here) And it is good to have winter to rest. Although I fight it so much, planning so many outdoor things I could be doing. (Going here, planting perennials, riding bikes, runs with the Bob) Okay, yes I could go on and on, especially since yesterday was just so warm! Who else was loving it? We went to the Durham Food Truck Rodeo and Owen and I waited in line for I don’t even know how long for ice cream. It was the perfect day for ice cream. And the vegan thin mint I got was seriously worth the wait! (And if you ever go to a food truck rodeo, research which truck you want to eat from before you go and get there right before it officially starts.) We went after church so we got there a little bit late and found a shorter line for food. It was a beautiful day yesterday, and I am looking forward to Spring sessions outdoors soon! If you signed up for the Spring Limited Edition Event, I had a meeting at the location today, and I AM SO EXCITED! (What am I talking about?

Oh, and I am still looking for a newborn models March 25th and 26th! Contact me for more info!

I just photographed this sweet little one’s one year portraits so it reminded me that I had not blogged his portraits from the fall.We met one crisp fall morning, and the light was just so pretty. And this little one, he is ADORABLE! Just so happy and full of smiles and loves being hugged and kissed by his mommy and daddy. I also saw him a few weeks after this for the Free Holiday Minis that are every year around the end of November/early December. And this year’s are going to be so fun, too! I’m so excited about what is being planned for this year. There is always something exciting going on around here! If you signed up for the Spring Limited Edition Event, (and if you didn’t, there’s a waiting list here just in case we are able to open up more spots!) more information will be coming out soon! The stylist and I met for a planning meeting last week (complete with coffee!) and I’m meeting tomorrow with the owner of one of the possible locations – more information coming soon!

Sharing some images from my trip to Utah on the blog today! It was mostly a lot of listening, learning, going to workshops, catching up with friends, and shopping. (Super impressed with Salt Lake City’s mall – it was amazing and so beautiful!) So, I was actually surprised that I didn’t take that many images while I was there. Utah is such a pretty place and what a perfect backdrop for a photography convention. The sunsets were purple and pink and just stunning. It was really neat to see such a different landscape from North Carolina. Probably my favorite places we ate lunch were the Blue Lemon and Bocata. (We really just went to the mall for food but those two were delish!)

The mountains were so beautiful, and I did go on one trip to the Great Salt Lake. The teacher of the class’s daughter modeled for us, and she loved every minute. We kept taking photos right until that pretty purple/pink sunset. (And the place was packed out with photographers – really popular spot for family photos!) It was such a great trip!
