Kelli and Kaylana

2010-06-01T16:43:00.002-05:00

I had the pleasure of photographing Ms. Kaylana and her mom, Kelli yesterday! This was their second session with me and it was amazing to see how much Kaylana has grown since the last time we met. Things started out perfect..........Kaylana looked like a little princess in her green and white dress and posed perfectly for me. But when it was time to take some pictures with her mom, she wasn't having it. She gave us quite a hard time, but, yes Kelli, I did manage to get some great shots! I really think you will be surprised and thanks again for choosing me to capture this precious moments for you.

Chase and Rebekah - Engaged!

2010-06-01T16:35:00.001-05:00

Rebekah traveled a long way to see her Marine this holiday weekend! I was honored that they chose me to take some engagement pictures for them to be displayed at their wedding reception in a few weeks. They will be married on June 19th and I wish them the best of luck, especially Rebekah, being a Marine wife is a hard job, but I'm sure she will learn fast.

Britten Family

2010-05-25T06:15:00.005-05:00

I met up with Amanda and Troy on Sunday evening for a portrait session. Troy is deploying soon and they are expecting a baby boy in September, so they thought it would be a perfect time for family pictures with their furbabies. Storm clouds threatened to interfere with our session all day, but they stayed away when the time came and the sky was beautiful. I fell in love with this new location! Thank you ,Sandy, for telling me about it! I think your family needs a family picture here...hint...hint...hint!

Gabriel - Babys First Year Plan

2010-05-18T09:07:00.002-05:00

Gabriel and his beautiful mama met me at the park last week for his second session in his First Year Plan. I love how these turned out! I also loved how my little girl was a little jealous of me photographing another baby. She sat down on my little stool and said "Mama, chee chee chee"!

Gradyn - Baby's First Year Plan

2010-05-09T16:33:00.003-05:00

Gradyn is one of my babys participating in my Baby's First Year Plan. I first photographed him when he was a newborn and now at three months old. We will meet up every three months for a session.....how fun is that? Three months is the hardest age to photograph. Can't fold them up and squish them into poses like a newborn and they can't sit up yet. But they can smile, and Grady did a great job! Can't wait to see him again at six months.

Baby's First Year Plan - Grace

2010-04-25T07:32:00.002-05:00

I met up with Miss Grace and her mom yesterday for her 2nd session the her Baby's First Year series. I was so happy the rain held out, because I am in love with these pictures! She was such a happy girl and didn't fuss at all, even when we stuffed her in the bucket! Can't wait til our next session when she will be one year old.

Ashley's Quincienera

2010-04-19T13:33:00.003-05:00

On Saturday, I had the honor of photographing Ashley's 15th birthday! She reminds me of a Barbie doll in her gown.

A Day at the Park

2010-04-11T16:35:00.002-05:00

Met up with little Jack and his parents yesterday at the park. He was at the park to play, not take pictures! He kept me on my toes, but I think I was able to capture some great shots. Love this first one with his dog, Sully.

Milton Family

2010-04-09T17:50:00.002-05:00

I am in love with this first picture! I couldn't have gotten a more beautiful image of this brother/sister pair. We met on the beach last week and the weather was perfect. The water was even warm. These two came from Connecticut with their mom, Lori, to visit family on Camp Lejeune. I'm so glad they called me for a beach session.

Martin Family

2010-04-09T12:52:00.002-05:00

Gina and Craig were our neighbors and good friends when we lived in Missouri years ago. We had not seen them in seven years, even though we now live only two and a half hours away. I can definitely say that we will be seeing more of each other from now on! Here are my favorites from their visit last weekend. Enjoy!

Raquel - Senior Representative

2010-04-01T06:48:00.003-05:00

I met up with Raquel and her mom on Onslow beach last week. It was a beautiful day, so I thought it would be a great evening for beach pictures. Little did I know! The tide was so high that there was no beach to work with. Most of our pictures were done up in the dunes. It was also very cold, even though you would never know it by looking at Raquel's pictures. She handled the cold and wind like a supermodel, even in shorts and a tank top! I can't wait to photograph her in our second session, she's so easy to work with and so beautiful!

Courtney - Senior Portrait Representative

2010-03-29T09:47:00.002-05:00

I had alot of fun photographing Courtney yesterday. She brought along two friends and alot of clothes to choose from. I love the different looks we were able to get because of the outfit changes. Lots of color to go with that beautiful red hair. I first photographed Courtney when her sister, Nikki, was a senior. I believe Courtney was just fourteen years old at the time. She is still as beautiful as she was then. We will finish up her session on the beach another day. For now, these are a FEW of my favorites! Enjoy.............

This feisty little beauty did everything she could to avoid me and my camera! But this first picture made it all worth while.

My kiddos - Part 5

2010-03-17T06:50:00.003-05:00

My New Friends

2010-02-24T09:31:00.004-05:00

I hope she doesn't mind, but I just couldn't help myself! There are so many images from this session, I couldn't really narrow it down to just a few. This is my new friend, Stephanie, and her handsome young men. Stephanie is the founder of Stroller Warriors, a running club for military wives and moms. I joined this group recently and went on my first run with them yesterday. I'm so glad I did, I had a great time and am looking forward to getting in shape with this great group of ladies.

Anyway, I met up with these guys last evening and came away with some fantastic images. I cant wait to take my own brood to this location for some desperately overdue family pictures.

Just as any session with a little boy should, it ended in a mud puddle!

The Priest Family

2010-02-19T08:16:00.003-05:00

They braved the cold weather and mud for this family portrait session. These boys were so well behaved and were very eager to have their picture taken, which is rare with boys. And they photograph so well!

Baby Gradyn

2010-02-18T14:42:00.002-05:00

I am sooooooooo behind on blogging! I haven't been on here since Christmas. Sorry!
I have been extremely busy with basketball season, sick kids, mid-week getaways, sick kids and more sick kids!
Had the opportunity to photograph this family for the second time about two weeks ago. They welcomed a beautiful baby boy at the end of January. These are some of my favorites from their session.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to expand my portfolio to include some commercial work. I photographed the creator of some beautiful jewelry pieces for her website and advertising. I will be sharing more of her designs at a later date and will also share her website with you.

Goofy Sweaters?

2009-12-17T09:12:00.002-05:00

This Dad had the great idea to dress in goofy Christmas sweaters for their holiday card picture. Even their dog, Riley, got drug into this...poor thing. These next two melt my heart...........

Collier Family

2009-12-06T12:27:00.002-05:00

I love how this session turned out to be so full of color! Wasn't sure if it was going to turn out well at all since the weather turned from nice to not so nice right before we were sheduled to meet. These two beautiful kids have the most amazing blue eyes, and Miss Sarahs stunning red hair contrasts with them perfectly.

Paige and Torrey

2009-12-02T07:50:00.002-05:00

Had the pleasure of photographing these two beautiful girls for the second time last week. We did some Christmas pictures last year with their whole family, this time it was just Mom and Dad and their pretty twins. I love their eyes!

Out of Town

I am out of town for the holiday. If you need to contact me about a session, please send me an email and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Thanks and have a Great Thanksgiving!

Clinton Family

2009-11-15T20:57:00.002-05:00

This first picture totally took me by surprise when I uploaded it this evening. I was not sure I was able to get any really good pictures of Miss "E". She was so fast on her feet and didn't want to sit still for any family shots. Seems like as soon as she remembered I was taking pictures, she'd turn and run the other way! She just wasn't into it today, maybe next time. But, she is a beauty!
A few things made today's session a little hard. Being that this has been the first warm, sunny day in a while, the park was full of people (and dogs). The ground was so wet, it was hard to walk in the grass in some spots and there were fire ants everywhere. But, I'm not complaining! How could I?

Beautiful light..............

2009-11-03T17:26:00.003-05:00

Beautiful baby!
Thought I'd try these with a little bit of a vintage feel. I love how they turned out. One of these will be a canvas for my baby's room.

Baby Colin

2009-11-02T07:04:00.003-05:00

I couldn't narrow this session down to five images...so here's six!
Little Colin gave us a fight in the beginning, but once we finally convinced him to go to sleep, it was so easy to get the pictures I wanted. His big brothers looked so cute running around in their pj's. They were so sweet with him, you can see that in the last two images here. Not quite finished editing this session, so back to work for me.

Miss "K" on the Beach

2009-10-30T10:36:00.002-05:00

Finally!.....This session was scheduled and rescheduled 4 or 5 times. This little two year old gave me a run for my money. She was constantly on the move! Her pictures came out beautifully and even though it was very cloudy, it was worth the wait.

Baby "G"

2009-10-27T12:50:00.001-05:00

Sneak peek from the session I just did.....really. I've only been home for about an hour and I just couldn't wait to share some of these. All little man wanted to do was sleep, but his mom wanted him awake. Personally, I like the sleepy baby pictures.....but we have to make mom happy. I think we got a good combination of both. I'm sure she will enjoy these!

Happy Halloween

The Hart Family

2009-10-20T05:24:00.003-05:00

There is never a dull moment when photographing these guys! They always have me laughing, usually at their mom and dad trying to keep them all in the same place and making them smile. This time, the trick was Mom pushing Dad to the ground, over and over again! It worked, we got this great picture out of it. Thank you, Suzy, for calling me. I'm glad things worked out. Wish it could've been a little warmer, though!

Congratulations Gary and Del!

2009-10-19T14:13:00.002-05:00

The morning of this wedding day, I thought for sure I would be photographing an indoor wedding. It was cold and threatened rain most of the day. But the sun came out and it turned out to be a beautiful evening. It didn't warm up any, though. Thank goodness the reception was indoors. You can see in these pictures how much love there is between Gary and Del. It was a beautiful ceremony and everyone had a great time at the reception. Thanks, Gary and Del, for letting me capture this special day in your lives. Congratulations!

Kurre family

2009-09-21T12:03:00.002-05:00

Ok, I had an extremely hard time narrowing this post down to just five images. There are so many pictures from the session that I just love. These girls are so pretty and so photogenic. This was my third time photographing them and I hope it won't be the last.

2009-08-26T09:07:00.003-05:00

I met the Tuohey family at Jacksonville Commons park on Monday evening. I have to say, this may be my favorite session ever! I just love how these pictures turned out. I don't think I could've gotten a more perfect picture of these two brothers together.

Finally getting around to blogging the Couillard family's session. We had a beautiful evening on the beach earlier this week. Beautiful family with four handsome boys.

10 Day old Erika

2009-08-18T06:39:00.003-05:00

Had the opportunity to photograph another beautiful newborn on Sunday. Miss Erika wasn't too keen on the idea of sleeping through her portrait session. She stayed awake the entire time. I'm loving this first picture with her mommy and daddy's rings. It was actually mom's idea to keep the ring in color and I think it turned out beautifully.

Jessica's Maternity Session

2009-08-16T06:15:00.003-05:00

Just started proofing this session from last night. I have to say, I am loving how these turned out. Another perfect beach session. Lighting was great and I had a great model! Jessica and her husband are expecting a little girl in November.

Baby Brisa

2009-08-13T07:14:00.003-05:00

This little angel slept through our entire session. She is just so cute at only 7 days old. If you are wanting newborn pictures, this is the perfect age.

My baby girl.......

2009-08-12T07:04:00.002-05:00

is 6 months old today! I can't believe it. They just grow so fast. I am missing the newborn stage already, but am so excited to see what she will do next. She is so much fun and I don't know how I ever got along without her.
Happy half birthday, Delaney!

Little Lily

2009-08-11T08:15:00.002-05:00

I met up with one month old Lily and her parents Sunday evening at the park. She wasn't too happy with us, she wanted to sleep. But I think I managed to get some good images. Here are a few of my favorites.

Emerald Isle

2009-08-10T13:29:00.002-05:00

While editing pictures from last night, I realized I forgot to post pictures from the multi-family session from last week in Emerald Isle. So here are each individual family and a group shot. Be back later with pictures from last nights session.

Morgans Beach Pictures

2009-08-08T19:00:00.002-05:00

We were finally able to finish up Morgan's senior pictures at the beach last night. The beach could not have been any more perfect. The wind was calm and the light was beautiful. I am really excited about this set of pictures, they came out wonderfully.

Morgan and Michelle

2009-08-02T17:02:00.001-05:00

Morgan's second session was at Northeast Creek Park...she brought a friend with her. Michelle is also a senior this year.

Thacker Girls - part 2

More sneak peeks for these girls.....your package is on its way.

Thacker Girls

2009-07-29T09:27:00.002-05:00

These beautiful twin girls came all the way from Kentucky for me to take their senior pictures.....well not really. They came to see their brother before he leaves for Iraq. But they did drive all the way from Havelock for me to take their picture! We started their session downtown. It was extremely hot and humid! But they hung in there long enough to get some great pictures. The entire family was along for this shoot, we got some great family photos as well. We finished their session at the beach. The wind was whipping once again. I have just started proofing those pictures, so I will post them later. Had to sneak this picture of the little sister into this post.....she could pass for a senior too!

Sneak Peek for Morgan

2009-07-23T12:01:00.002-05:00

I just wanted to share a few more of my favorites from this past weekend. I absolutely love photographing babies....

Hilger Family

2009-07-20T09:07:00.002-05:00

Last nights session was one of the easiest I've done. This cute family was so much fun to work with and little Miss "M" is adorable. She is so easy to photograph and such a good little model.

Wheeler Family

2009-07-20T09:02:00.002-05:00

These two are hilarious! They had me laughing the entire session. Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler are expecting a baby girl in a few weeks and they couldn't be more excited about her arrival. I am also excited to have the opportunity to create their baby's first portraits.

Rudolph Family

2009-07-19T13:03:00.002-05:00

Friday night was my first beach session for the weekend. Thanks to some passing storms, the wind was horrendous. I really didn't think we would even be able to shoot, but, I was able to get some beautiful pictures of this good looking family. We will do a mini re-shoot next week when the wind is not so bad.

Baby Mackenzie

I had the pleasure of meeting this little beauty this morning. Just 10 days old and so alert. I won't have her entire session proofed for a few days, but I just wanted to edit a few that jumped out at me for a sneak peek for her mommy, whom I know is looking.

My babies

On our last day in WV, the kids actually cooperated long enough for me to get a decent group picture. I love the sun flare in the bottom two pictures.

My beautiful daughter!

I can't believe how fast she has grown up. She will be a teenager this summer.

My Girls

2009-06-03T05:22:00.003-05:00

Well, my little girls!
My scheduled session was cancelled at the last minute yesterday, so I decided to take advantage of the beautiful light and snap some pics of my two youngest. Had to take their pictures in their matching outfits before the baby grows out of hers. I love how the red and white contrast with the green grass in this first picture.

As you can see from my blog header, I also snuck in some shots of little Delaney in her new pettiskirt. Sad thing is, it took so long to get here after I ordered it, it doesn't fit. It was way too tight and she'll never wear it again. But, at least I was able to get her picture in it, and I will be able to use it for newborn baby girl sessions.

New Enhancements

2009-05-29T14:50:00.003-05:00

I'm trying to learn more tricks and enhancements to make my images more special. I am teaching myself through trial and error. I think I've come up with a few things that I like. Here are a few samples of what I'm working on. You can click on the photos to see the detail.

Argentieri family

2009-05-26T08:43:00.004-05:00

I had the opportunity to photograph these two handsome boys on Saturday. They were both so easy to work with. I am having trouble getting my website to load their gallery, so this sneak peek is especially for their mom.

Snuck in a short photo session of my baby girl yesterday. This is my favorite.

Clayton Family

2009-05-19T09:04:00.003-05:00

It's so nice when a family keeps coming back to you for their pictures. This is my 4th time photographing little Xavier and his family. It was also my last time, they are moving to California. I have enjoyed watching the little guy grow from a naked baby on a surfboard to a handsome little man with his bible. Thank you, Kelly and Derrick, for letting me capture these special moments for you. Best wishes as you head to your new home.

Baby in a Bowl?

2009-05-03T14:53:00.002-05:00

I think this turned out so cute... I've been wanting to take pictures like this with my little one, but haven't gotten around to it. This little beauty is three months old and is the youngest daughter of the Bradbury family who I had the chance to work with yesterday.
I also photographed three baseball teams yesterday. Thank goodness it was a beautiful day and it didn't get too hot. I will post some pictures of Brett's team, the Orioles, soon.

Anna's Beach Session

Another great family on the beach!

New Favorite

2009-04-07T12:54:00.002-05:00

This image from this weekend's beach session is my new favorite. Little "S" was so cute and easy to photograph. The whole family made my job so easy. I'm very excited that beach season is just around the corner. I 'm hoping to get some pictures of my kids with their cousins this week. Hope the weather cooperates!

My kiddos

2009-03-27T12:34:00.003-05:00

Just wanted to share some recent pics of my babies. I love this first one! Yes, her eyes really are that dark.

This was my first attempt at a group shot of all four of them. It didn't go as well as I had hoped. Baby screamed, Blair had a bad attitude and had to be bribed with a smoothie!

Baby girl and her big brother

2009-03-20T07:37:00.002-05:00

This little one is just over a month old. She and her big brother were just so cute.

In most of the images of them together, he was kissing her cheek....so sweet!

One month old

2009-03-16T13:28:00.004-05:00

My little Delaney is one month already! So hard to believe. I promise, in her next set of pictures, she will be wearing clothes!
I will be posting some pictures of another adorable one month old soon.

Soaking up some sunshine!

Sneak Peek for Mack Family

2009-02-02T11:32:00.001-05:00

Beautiful beach session!
This family is expecting their 2nd baby within a few weeks. Just wanted to give them a sneak peek from their session before their entire session is edited.

Recent session

2009-01-22T08:19:00.001-05:00

I had the pleasure of photographing a very large family this past weekend. Even though our original location got rained out, we were able to get some great images at the "O"Club on Camp Lejeune. I had alot of fun photographing this family, they were very easy to work with. Here are some of my favorite images from the session.
