Star Portraits In North Carolina

My sister-n-law has asked me to do her family pics since a couple years before I decided to go pro. We usually make an annual trip down to Fuquay Varina, NC to visit my husbands family & end up taking tons of pics anyways. Rather than do the usual pics at home we went to a park where we did some lovely lake pics too. And yes...this was the end of November & nooo jackets needed down south! Sooo nice!!! Thank you Mandi, Johnny, Joey & Lexi for making me feel pro before I even went there. You make my heart feel super happy! xoxo

Giving Thanks!

Ok, I will try not to cry..... Ugh! Too late!! : ) I can't thank allll of you enough for your business, your referrals & for your friendship. I had no idea when I put myself out there this past January that I would be blessed with soo many new friends! I really can't call any of you clients because you & your families have become soo dear to my heart. May all your beautiful families have a safe, healthy & blessed Thanksgiving! {{BIG Hugs!!}}

Falling For Fall

This was my 3rd opportunity shooting the Rinas family. Soo much of this Summer had been cold & rainy and this beautiful Autumn day was filled with sunshine & about 70 degrees!! I must say I am extremely impressed always with the photo shoot ideas that my mommy clients come up with to make them unique & their own. Karen's crazy awesome idea was roasting marshmallows!! How ingenious is that!? Not only did we capture some cute pics of that as well as leaf pile fun & playtime; it made it really hard to choose a pic for the blog. I went with this simply because it's a shot I've been dreaming of shooting for awhile & I reallly liked the way it turned out. It was soo cute & great to see that Luke & Jillian remembered me & how Jillian has grown into a tiny Gap model like her big brother. These kids are so photogenic you don't even have to tell them to pose. They will strike one for you including cute head tilts. I had SO much fun with them yesterday!!!! Keep watch on the Star Portraits website as they are a Featured family & this session will be added to their page. Thanks soo much to the Rinas family for having me again!!
