Megan & Nick: Engaged | {Raleigh Engagement Photographer}

Meet Megan and Nick. Megan and I went to Meredith College together and met our freshman year because we lived on the same hall. We were friends all through college and I'm so thankful that we have kept in touch after all these years. Megan is engaged to Nick and they are getting married two monhs from yesterday!

I met up with them at Meredith College. They are also getting married there in the chapel, so it was fitting to explore the grounds for their engagment session.



I love this next image of them in front of the chapel. :) Hopefully we can recreate this on their actual wedding day too.






One last shot that we took was in front of the residence hall where Meg and I met.



Congrats you guys! I'm so happy you've found each other! I can't wait to photograph your special day!

Brothers | {Raleigh Newborn Photographer}

I love watching families grow! I first met this family when I did a maternity session for them with their first child back in 2009; I then got to photograph Hampton when he was born. They came back last week with their new bundle. Think these brothers look anything alike?




Stay tuned for more images from Carters session soon!

Interested in booking a newborn session? "During your baby’s first week of life, you and your family are no doubt going through and amazing adjustment; trying to figure out sleep, trying to figure out a lot of things. However, this is the most unbelievable time to have your baby photographed. I encourage parents to bring their newborn babies in BEFORE 2 weeks of age but even before [10 days], is ideal! Most are looking to have their newborn photographed naked with perhaps an artistic pose. Newborn babies that are just a few days are able to be posed, [are] comfortable naked (as long as they are warm and their bellies are full), and cute as can be. During this time [you may be] too tired to truly appreciate the tiny toes, the blistered lips, the wrinkled back, [but your] photographer will be able to capture all these tiny details, and create some amazing artistic images. Your baby changes so fast, don’t let this time pass you by before you can capture it professionally." (excerpt from When to Photograph your Baby by: Christine Bentley)

Mason | {Raleigh Newborn Photographer

You might remember this couple from other posts on my blog. I had the opportunity to photograph their engagement session and their wedding when I was first starting out. A couple of weeks ago I had the honor of photographing their handsome little bundle of joy! Meet Mason...





Mason's Mommy is a high school English teacher as well as a big Harry Potter fan, so we incorporated the HP aspect into his session.

One-Year Session | Part 1: Cake Smashing {Raleigh Childrens Photographer}

I can't get enough of this red headed child. Not only is she the cutest thing ever, but she's also the daughter of one of the very first friends I've ever had and I'm still glad to be friends with her to this day! :) Her Mommy was kind enough to ask me to shoot her engagement photos when I was barely starting my business and then her wedding when I'd never photographed one before and also capture Miss Molly in her first few days for her newborn session! Now, here's Miss Molly at a whopping One-Year! My time flies! Her session was in two parts: a regular session and then a cake smash session! I wanted to share Molly's cake smash photos with you because I can't get over how cute they are! Enjoy!

















Cake Smash Sessions are wonderful sessions to put into a simple collage!


Stay tuned to the blog later this week for some of the rest of her session!

Erin & Marc: Engaged | Raleigh Engagement Photographer

I have know Erin for quite a few years now. Her and Marc met just over two years ago and just before Christmas I got a text from her announcing their engagement! I was so excited for her! Not long after, we began discussing their engagement session and their Save the Date cards to announce their upcoming October wedding!

We met downtown Raleigh last weekend for their shoot. I was excited to see them and to see what sort of goodies they had brought as they had lots of ideas of how they wanted their Save the Date cards to be sort of a play on words! I loved the ideas they came up with!

We first met at some railroad tracks that run through downtown...







Just one idea for their Save the Date card was to incorporate their wedding date in the photo somewhere. This is a cute one of the two of them and their date in the photo. There are a lot of other fun ones but I'll save those incase they want to use them for their cards! :)





Erin, you're gorgeous! :)



A view of downtown Raleigh...



Off to Market Square...



I think the next one is one of my favs!



What's an engagement session without a ring shot? Ya did good, Marc!



Probably the most fun engagement session yet! Thanks you two! You rocked in front of the camera!
