- By the time we reach Thanksgiving, our portrait sessions for the year are wrapping up, but I had the opportunity to photograph this family of three in time for holiday portraits. Hurrah! I wouldn’t have traded this time behind the camera or this morning light. And running around the woods photographing a two-year-ol[...]

- Last week, I showed a sneak peek of my photo session with J. – the sweet 18 month old with a twinkle in her eye.
This is a great age to do a “day in the life” photo shoot. The shoot is meant to feel like a casual get-together where we spend time together visiting favorite locations, having a few outfit changes [...]

- Morning light brought out J.'s smile, but I think she outshines the sun, don't you?

- If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen this cutie-patootie smiling back at you. Meet G.
G. was fun to photograph and had such a sweet smile. What made it extra special was that Mom wanted to make sure we got a photo of Riley, their dog, as well. Riley's an older gal who found it hard to move, but [...]

- Phew! We survived Hurricane Matthew with little issue. The power stayed on. Trees stayed upright. To the people who were less fortunate with their homes and their businesses, my thoughts are with you.
Usually a rainy day for me means staying inside to bake. Last week, though, our oven died so in planning for the[...]

- In less than 30 days, the Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation will be celebrating its 20th anniversary and what better way to commemorate the occasion than throwing a Roaring ‘20s soiree!
Get ready for the sweet sounds of jazz, the forbidden tastes of libations, and some high-rollin’ at the gaming tables. Sou[...]

- Happy 1st day of fall!
This sweet girl looks pretty impressed with her first birthday party's decorations. I loved the personalized pumpkin the moment I saw it and watching E. climb and play near it was too much fun! First birthday parties are a great way to gather all your friends and family toge[...]
