First Birthday! - One Year Old Portraits: NC Child Photographers

Sweet little Miss started out quiet and a little shy.... she didn't take a good nap that day.  Let me tell you folks she rocked her session! LOVE her big smile.  Thanks Mom and Dad for allowing me to capture that sweet girl. 

Harper : First Birthday Pictures

Happy First Birthday sweet girl!! Time flies so fast and it doesn't seem like a year ago we were shooting her newborn portraits and Rebekah's maternity session.  We chose the same location to shoot Harper's First Birthday pictures as we did for the maternity.  I have no words to describe the love we feel for this family.  Documenting their engagement, bridal session and their wedding...then to capture that precious belly, newborn sweetness and now Harper is ONE.  Thank you Mom and Dad!  MUCH Love~ Ryan and Joy Cake Designer: Kendras Bakery Creations

Family Friday : My Little Blessings

I shot these images of my two last May... long time ago. This is very typical of me to take pictures of my children and not do a thing with them forever! I'm working on it...bits at a time. This was at our old house. I walked in the room that day and they were doing this on their own. It warmed my heart so much. I loved it. Last night I was reminded of these images when Ryan and I really wanted to go to sleep early and the kids DID NOT. I think Jayla read about 10 books to Jase...it was precious. I was awake and listened to her read to him and he would ask questions... I know these times are short in the scheme of their life. They are 5 1/2 years apart and I adore seeing how they can still connect. Gosh do they fight and get ugly with each other but they truly LOVe each other. I pray that even with the age gap and male/female difference they will always connect in their own way... protect and love each other.
