a family Christmas celebration... | winston-salem family photographer

It was obvious to me immediately how much love the C family all had for each other! I was asked to come photograph their family Christmas party, so that they'd have that rare opportunity to have family photos made to include all four generations. It was great meeting everyone! Merry Christmas, C family!

My job is SO easy on days like today! I had the opportunity to photograph these three beautiful sisters this afternoon... I enjoyed meeting them and getting to know them! It was a windy and cold day, but the girls did a fantastic job!

SNOW!!! | winston-salem children's photographer

So I knew they were calling for rain today and snow late tonight, but imagine my surprise when it suddenly looked like a blizzard (ok, by North Carolina standards anyway!) outside my window just before my 1pm photo session today! Luckily, these sweet boys were up for a little bit of playing in the snow for their session!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I enjoyed spending time with family, yummy food, and of course, Black Friday shopping! I still go out in the middle of the night for my shopping on Black Friday, but I keep saying that I'm going to start shopping online since so much of it is available on the websites now. But there's something about the adrenaline pumping dash across the store to find that awesome deal. :)

I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet family yesterday... the girls absolutely cracked me up. They are total sweethearts and super fun! We were glad that the rain held off and the weather wasn't too bad! It was a fun session, M family! Enjoy your sneak peek!

a fun afternoon with my bff :)

We had absolutely beautiful weather this past weekend! It was a perfect weekend to photograph my friend's kids. I love these kids like my own, so we had a lot of fun during our session, and topped it off with Krispy Kreme donuts for a treat afterward (for the kids, of course ;). We've already ordered the one of the 3 of them together in a canvas gallery wrap for her, can't wait to see it!

siblings...

I get pretty excited when I have the opportunity to photograph newborns.... especially when they have such a great head of hair. :)

Ahh.... isn't she gorgeous? 

a beautiful day....

This sneak peek is from my second session yesterday afternoon. I really couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day for photo sessions! The weather was just perfect. The H family looked great in their portrait outfits! I loved Little C's red dress... *almost* makes me wish I had a little girl! Almost. :)

the sweetest smile...

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Little Miss C and her mommy and daddy today. I have had the privilege of photographing this sweet family a couple of times now, and Little Miss C never disappoints! She was super smiley as always, and she stole my heart when she blew me kisses and came to me to pick her up. She had fun playing in the leaves with mommy and daddy! It was a beautiful fall day for a session!

time flies....

I had a one-year-old session with one of my baby planners today.... it's hard to believe that cute little squirt that tried to tip my basket over at 3 months old is a walker now! He still lights up at the sight of his mommy. :) He was a tired little guy today, and ended up dozing off at the end of his session. I took advantage though, by getting some sweet shots of him and his mommy together. Enjoy this sneak peek from Little R's session.

sweet serenity...

I can't believe she's a year old! This gorgeous little girl has stolen the hearts of everyone in our family. My boys especially adore their little cousin, and she's pretty entertained by them, too. :) I love looking at her sweet face!

he's growing up...

I know I've said before that I love my baby planners... I really do! I so enjoy watching them grow up. This little guy is such a cutie! He wasn't quite sitting up on his own when we started, but he was doing pretty well by the time the session was over! :)

it's that time again!

Time for my annual session with a couple of super fun people I met a few years back! We went downtown this time for a little different style than last year's fall leaf session. With the exception of trying to drive against traffic on a one-way street (which I don't recommend! :), we had a great time. I was afraid all my photos would be blurry from laughing so much - I seriously need to remember to wear Depends next year!

urban family photo session

I love shooting downtown, so when the H family told me that's where they wanted to do their session, I was ecstatic. The kids were fantastic to work with, and the family was full of personality, which made for a great session! :) Enjoy your sneak peek, H family!

i love fall...

Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, and a beautiful family! I was super excited to photograph my sweet, sweet friend, April, and her family yesterday! They climbed some trees, visited with some cows, and played in the leaves! Thanks for a fun afternoon! Enjoy your sneak peek, April!

catching up with friends!

I always enjoy getting together with my friend, Libbi, and her family, and seeing how much her little guy has grown! It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon at the park, and we let the little one lead the way... :)
