Watermelon Minis

    Watermelon on a hot summer day is the best, and we had so much fun with these minis. (See more of our minis here) Sometimes the weather can be unpredictable on hot summer evenings, but we were blessed with perfect weather for these. Watermelon is a summer favorite. What are some of your favorite summer activities? One of the things I LOVE about summer is the flexibility of not having a school schedule. I can finish a session, pick up the boys and run to a movie. Also, not having to stress out about bedtime so much. Some of our favorite summer things include bunch o balloons. (These are genius! Not having to tie water balloons!) bubbles, of course, miniature golf, sandcastles, waterparks, swimming, collecting seashells, baseball games, game nights (I am the reigning Clue champion) Summer is the best! After summer, it gets really busy around here in the fall with so many fun family sessions + minis. (Ericka and I have are big meeting tomorrow morning to finalize everything – yay!)

We rarely have to reschedule minis, but our family minis had to be moved around this year due to weather. Sometimes Spring just brings those days of terrible rain + storms. (Looks like today has a 50% chance of lots of yucky weather! Take your raincoat and umbrella just in case!) Rescheduling can be kind of tricky when using venues + rentals. The day we were able to reschedule was absolutely gorgeous – one of those just really pretty amazing summer evenings. And we had so much fun at The Little Herb House. The grounds are just breathtaking, and there are so many fun spots to photograph, so we just kept going and moving. And this sweet family knows how to have fun + be silly, so we were able to take a lot of sweet photographs of them very quickly. It’s also hard to believe their sweet baby girl is already a year. I feel like I just took their family newborn portraits!

And chatting about minis,Ericka and I always try to move quickly at our minis to give you the most amount of pictures possible. We are finalizing dates for fall minis *this week* (So excited!) Dates will go out to our facebook group + then our e-mail list first, so if you haven’t signed up, you can here.

Watermelon Minis

Raleigh Child Family Photography

    Twice a year Ericka and I have a big planning meeting and go through all of the ideas we’ve collected, messaged, and chatted about over the past several months and sit down and plan our minis for the season.So far this year we’ve already had Family Minis, Valentine Minis, Coastal Minis, Watermelon Minis, and Sunflower Minis. (We are about to start booking fall minis NEXT WEEK and we are sooooo excited! So many fun new ideas for this year!) So when Ericka mentioned Watermelon Minis for the 4th of July, I was so excited. And they were just as adorable as they could be! The truck had some car trouble and we ended up moving our mini sessions last minute, but nothing could stop us from these adorable minis. That’s why it’s great that there’s two of us to problem solve and brainstorm. Ericka also helps with styling and outfit recommendations. And last minute questions, she’s your girl. The day of the session, it’s also great to be able to call or text Ericka when you arrive. It was a little bit harder to find us for the sunflower minis so it was definitely great that if you couldn’t find us, you could text Ericka. Overall, the minis are just fun..And Ericka and I have so much fun during the sessions which I think is such an important part.

Stay tuned for fall minis booking next week!

The Raleigh Skyline

It just seems like things have been crazy busy lately, from a super busy spring with my dad’s surgery straight into summer. With having both kids at home, things are definitely a lot busier. And I love summer so much, so I love soaking up summer….one thing I am especially loving right now is the Sunflowers. Ericka had to drag me out on Sunday kicking and screaming because I would have stayed there all night – ha! They are just so beautiful and so fun to shoot in. (We have one more night of minis tonight!) I may or may not have gone back last night just for fun. I will be so so sad when they are gone! I’m just so glad that the City of Raleigh planted them somewhere else this year, and we can all enjoy them. So, back to the topic of being busy, ha! I try to keep editing + getting photos out to clients at the top of my priority list so sometimes blogging gets pushed back, and I loooove blogging my sessions. This evening really just turned out to be perfect. It was one of those great weather days in the middle of unbearable days. We really lucked out, and the kids were just so happy and relaxed. It was such a fun time downtown while this family said goodbye to Raleigh with one more photo session.

According to Mom..

What’s your favorite family activity? We have a weekly “movie night” with candy and popcorn. Everyone looks forward to it.

Who are the members of your family and a quick fact about each one!

Bryon (Husband and Dad): He likes brewing beer, is one of five boys, and enjoys international travel.
Leslie (Wife and Mom): She loves CrossFit, playing with her kids, and recently became a massage therapist.
Oliver (6 years old): He is a sweet boy that loves snuggles, pudding, and his little sister. 
Evelyn (4 and a half years old): She loves playing with Mom and Dad, watching “shows” on her iPad, and going to gymnastics. She wants to learn to ski, to ice skate, and to dance.

What was your favorite part of our session together? It was a beautiful day without a lot of humidity. Becky always makes the session so laid back. There is never any pressure to finish up the session quickly. My favorite part was seeing how much Evelyn loves her brother and how much of a ham she is for the camera.

Tell me about the outfits you wore to the session. Bryon’s clothes were in his wardrob already. I bought Oliver and Evelyn’s at Target. My clothes I bought at Kohl’s. I wanted everyone to be comfortable especially since the session was at a park. The kid’s clothing colors complimented each other, so Bryon and I tried to coordinate.

Did anything eventful happen during your session? Only that Evelyn LOVED being photographed.

Were you worried about any parts of the session beforehand? The only worry was whether or not it would be too hot during the session.

What are some words of wisdom you have for other families preparing for a session? Decide on your clothing well in advance. Also, reach out to Becky and her team if you have any questions about wardrobe or other things.

First Birthday

Raleigh Family Mini Sessions Photographer

raleigh family photography 6.jpgP I N this to pinterest

We have had a lot of Spring + Summer minis this year (Sunflower minis are happening this week!) The images in this post were from our Family Minis at the Little Herb House. We loved this venue so much, and the kids did, too! There were chickens and cows and just all kinds of beautiful backgrounds everywhere around the grounds. It was a fun evening sweating in the heat for some beautiful images. This sweet family was celebrating their baby boy’s first birthday – the last time I photographed them, his Mama was about to have him any day. It was so sweet to see his curls and what a sweetheart he is. He was not interested in his cake at all, but we got some cute pictures of him with it.

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about when fall mini dates will be announced, and the answer is SOON. When sunflower minis are finished, Ericka and I will have a planning meeting and finalize all dates. We have a few on the calendar and some new super cute ideas for this year. (So so excited!) Some will have a holiday theme + some will be more neutral, but so much cuteness! We will also be doing a model call sometime this week for a preview of one of the sessions so keep your eyes glued to facebook and instagram. It’s going to be a super fun holiday season this year!
