Dylan, Cove & Addison

What an adorable family... April & Adam are the parents of these beautiful children. It was a hot, hot, hot Sunday afternoon when we had the shoot but everyone survived. When we first arrived at the Sandhills Community College Gardens for the shoot the sprinklers were on, which has never happened to me before and I have done many shoots there. So... after doing a few shots where the sprinklers were not at, we found some people who were working and they turned them off for us, which was sooooo nice of them. So then we got to work. Everyone looked so smashing in their outfits... it was just a lot of fun.

Adam drives an orange Dodge Daytona, which is so cool, so we had to get some shots of the car (with the family) before we were done. Gotta love a HEMI !!!

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day. It was great to met you all. I hope you enjoy the photos. It was nice meeting Grandpa & Grandma too :)

And a little side note, if you haven't checked out the Sandhills Community College Gardens lately, or ever, you really should. They have planted new plants and it just looks beautiful.

Blake & Austin

What a awesome, beautiful family. Tammy & Robert, the parents of Blake & Austin, are such a great couple, not to mention wonderful parents. The Teeple's (who own Teeple's Janitorial Services in Pinehurst) also go to Grace church in Southern Pines, where we met. Tammy is a greeter at Grace and what a wonderful way to start your church service. She always has a beautiful smile with such a sweet sweet heart. I am so thankful I have gotten to know her and her family. Blake & Austin are a hoot... so much fun! And Robert did an awesome job too:) I don't think it hurt to bad to get his photos taken.. I might have made him blush a few times but that was it.:)

You guys are so awesome... I am so thankful to have been able to spend a few hours with you and your family. You are a great couple, who I am blessed to know and who the church is blessed to have you be a part of. Hope you enjoy your photos..:)

Eden, Sam & Christian

How fun is this family. I loved spending a few hours with them, getting to know each of them a little more. I know them from Grace Church, we met about 3 1/2 years ago, and I have been so blessed by them. Andra is such a great mom... and beautiful to boot. I love everything about her... her style, her hair, her continuous giving, and the love she has for God and her children. Of course I love Eden's name :) And she is so beautiful and unique... you have to love her smile. All the kiddo's are adorable.

It was a hot day (which most are lately) but everyone hung in there and made it through it. I had to choose just a few. Enjoy!

This was just for fun... I loved seeing my reflection in her glasses... I got Andra in there too :) Thanks Eden for being a great sport :)

Thank you so much for letting me capture you with my camera. I loved spending time with you all, can't wait to do it again. Hope you enjoy the photo's as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Carroll

I met Carroll (18 months) & her mom on my very first shoot with Tina. Carroll was 9 months old, it is amazing how she has grown so fast. It was great to see them both again. I have been very busy so I am not able to blog as many photos as usual, but I wanted to make sure everyone was able to see how much she has grown....

Flora it was great to see you again. Carroll is growing so fast.... she is just adorable. Thank you for the opportunity to capture some more moments for you.

Sneak Peek ...

This is Carroll... she has grown so much since I saw her last. More photos to come...

Isabelle, Harper & Quinn

What a great family. I had the pleasure of meeting them right before they moved back to their home state of Indiana. The girls are so sweet, it was so cute to see how their personalities were so different. Isabelle (4) a bit quieter, soft spoken, and Harper( 2) is full of energy. Quinn (8 weeks) is the new addition, he has a lot of love coming his way from his big sisters. During the shoot I was able to hear the story how Dan & Amanda got engaged. I loved how Amanda remembered every bit of it and just beamed with love while she told the story, like it was yesterday. I love that I get to know the people I am photographing, it is one of the best parts.

Amanda & Dan, thank you for letting me be a part of your day before your move. I pray everyone settles in to their new surroundings and that God will bless your new adventure in Indiana. Loved getting to know you all. Hope you all continue to make fun music with the tambourine. :)
