Britt and Cliff Holiday Photos Mini Session

Happy holidays, everyone! I hope if you celebrate this season your respective holidays were fabulous and that you're looking forward to the new year! I'm pretty excited to wrap up the holidays and to have several days of downtime for planning for the new year. Of course, wrapping up the holidays means going through recent photos from October and November mini sessions - like this super fun session with my good friends Britt and Cliff and their foxy little furbaby Bailey! Enjoy, and happy holidays!

Hensley Family Photos - Raleigh Family Photographer

Sometimes you just find that family that amazes you with every photo. Capturing their love for each other and documenting an afternoon that is just a snapshot of the little girl growing up? That's the definition of an amazing family session, and the Hensleys were absolutely amazing! Jay and Anne are the nicest people you will ever meet and their little girl is a girl after my own heart: insanely smart, kinda obsessed with the Lorax ("I speak for the trees!"), and her best friend is a gorgeous dog. If this isn't the perfect use of the heart-eyes emoji I don't know what is. 😍😍😍😍

McGinn-Sadler Family Photos - Raleigh, NC

Possibly one of the best parts of doing family photography is getting to watch kids grow up. As a photographer I see the kids regularly enough to know them and during our sessions we usually have fun, do some exploring, and play. Lawson is an absolute cutie who I saw as a one-year old smashing cake, and as a real charmer in some urban family portraits and holiday card portraits. We spent a long morning today at Historic Oak View this fall exploring the park, petting the goats, and taking lots of fun photos! I can't wait to meet up with this wonderful family again for a holiday mini session - if you're thinking about taking photos for holiday cards the time to do this is now, so book soon!

Spurling Family Portraits for Holiday Cards

Emily and I have been friends for almost 14 years. 14 years! We met as freshmen in high school and roomed together freshman year in college (it was great - so great we decided for the sake of our grades to never live together again, ha!). I suffered through a fire ant attack during her wedding and I've celebrated birthdays and holidays with her and her two kiddos and even took newborn photos of her baby Stella. I adore her and her family, and was so happy to catch up with them for a quick photo session. We raced the setting sun (Daylight Savings is the bane of a natural light photographer with a day job) to get some cute holiday photos. Time is running out, so if you want holiday photos, book your session now!

Holiday Cards Family Portrait Session, Raleigh, NC

I was so flattered when Meghan and Chris asked me to take photos of their family again for holiday cards! We met up at Yates Mill for some fun around the mill and historic buildings. Lawson has grown so much in just a couple months and it was so fun chasing him around the park. Meghan and Chris, have fun with your adorable energy-filled toddler and happy (early) holidays to everyone!

Mazzotta Family Portraits, Raleigh, NC Photographer

I'm interrupting the regularly scheduled post today because I'm just SO EXCITED to share these pictures today! I know Allison from my day job and I was so happy when she asked if I'd photograph her beautiful family! We made arrangements to meet up at the arboretum in Raleigh one afternoon, only to discover when we were halfway there that it was smack in the middle of the NC State Fair and just a few blocks away from the fairground. Talk about a traffic and parking nightmare! But Allison and her family were so laid back and we had a fantastic afternoon on the great lawn and running around the plants. Thank you Allison for the chance to chase your beautiful and fun family around for an afternoon!
