I have a lot to be grateful for this year, but the newest addition to my list of things to be grateful for is sweet baby Claire.  She arrived a little before Thanksgiving and what a dream to pose! She slept throughout the session and allowed me to change backgrounds, and pose her in different outfits. A photographer's dream baby! Welcome Sweet Baby Claire!

At least I hope so.  This winter has been long and stormy so I decided to refresh and update my website in honor of this hopeful weather.  I’m looking forward to some new family photo sessions, now that I see some green peeping out of the ground.  I even saw some crocuses making their way up through the ground.  So get out there, enjoy the weather and think about booking a family session for you and your family.  Hope to see you soon!

HAPPY SUMMER!

Summer Solstice has happened and we're enjoying those longer days and warm weather.  I took part in a shooting workshop down in Nags Head, NC with Sally Molhoek and Stephanie Lemmon - these are some of the images from that shoot - enjoy the video!  

Don't forget to book a date soon and enjoy this beautiful light.

BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY

It's interesting how trends come back.  Lately, I've seen several articles on Birth Photography and I wanted to share them with you. Some of the images aren't meant for little kiddos' eyes, but I'm sure you know your own children and what is age appropriate for them.  

Check out these two articles on Birth photography, they are both moving and powerful.

L"For almost five years, photographer and mom Leilani Rogers has been taking stunning images of birth in its many forms -- home births, hospital deliveries, water births, C-sections and more.

"Birth is considered by many to be a private matter," Rogers told The Huffington Post. "And yet, it is this amazing thing that we should be teaching our children about and celebrating. So I think people view these photos as equal parts enlightening and fascinating."

This fall has been spectacular in color and weather - we've been so fortunate!  I wanted to share some images from one of the last, fall family sessions - they were a lot of fun to work with. Enjoy!
