This family was also vacationing down in Corolla from Colorado. They were so much fun to photograph and hang out with! Isn't this little one, one of the most precious kiddos you've ever seen?

I grew up with Mrs. Lynn's daughter Stacy, beginning as far back as preschool. We graduated from high school together and I was even honored to photograph Stacy and Justin's big day last October! However it wasn't just a big year for Stacy and Justin. Mrs. Lynn was busy too; writing a Children's Book!

Mrs. Lynn is the wife of Johnnie, mother of Erin and Stacy, and grandmother of Caleb, has a degree in Early Childhood and has worked with children for more than 20 years. She is a Christian who enjoys writing books, poetry, and children's songs. Her first book is titled "The Eight Little Circles". Children will enjoy learning the basic colors, numbers, and important concepts such as big and little as they rhyme their way through this unique, interactive learning book.

It is a very popular book in our household...



Her book is available at the following sites:
Tate Publishing
Barnes and Noble
Amazon

It is also available in 3-D. There is CD available and a coloring book too. The regular book has a free audio download so the book can be narrated on the computer or downloaded to an iPod.

Perryman Family | Outer Banks Family Photographer

This lovely family vacationed this year in Corolla. I was referred to them by their friend that was also vacationing down on the OBX at the same time, who'd heard about me from a previous client. I'm extremely thankful when clients give my name and web address to other people. That's one of the best compliments I could ever receive!

These kiddos go to bed early so their session was earlier in the afternoon than normal. But we were fortunate to get some amazing backlighting for their portrait session.

A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Baby Bruin | NC Newborn Photographer

I met up with this beebster's Mama for maternity pictures, just before he decided to make his debut, a couple of weeks early! :)



I had been hunting for an old egg basket for a while now and stumbled upon this one in a random store one day. I was so glad to be able to use it with Baby Bruin. He posed for me just right too! :)













Baby Bruin's newborn session was gifted to his Mom by friends of theirs. They purchased the session when I ran a 50% off special back in January. This month is time to purchase a newborn session for yourself or a friend that you know is expecting, because they're 50% off again! Merry Christmas in July! :) Contact me for more details! megan (at) meganlanephoto (dot) com!

Amber | Greenville, NC Wedding Photographer

Amber and Chad got hitched yesterday! {Congrats you two!} Although I wasn't the photographer for the wedding I was honored to take Amber's bridal portraits! I love when brides come up with locations for portraits that are outside of the norm for this particular kind of session. Amber was no different. She and Chad are huge ECU fans. Amber was even crowned Miss ECU when she was a senior there. Because they are huge fans of ECU football and rarely miss a game, she knew exactly where she wanted her portraits taken and I couldn't have been more excited about her choice!























Congrats Amber and Chad! I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Baby Gatlin | Eastern North Carolina Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting baby Gatlin when he was just 6 days new. Not sure he was too fond of me since he peed on me twice, but I think he's pretty stinkin' cute either way!  :)











Gatlin has two handsome big brothers to look out for him.



Since Gatlin's Mommy and Daddy have a love for horses we decided to incorporate his Daddy's saddle in some photos! I'm so glad we did!

The Harrell Family | Outer Banks Beach Photographer

I met up with this gorgeous family a few weeks ago down on the Outer Banks. All three of Mr. Harrell's girls and their families came to the OBX for a family vacation. I was even able to pry the boys away from watching the end of the Masters for a few minutes. ;)
