A Day in the Life of the Sanders Family: Will is 6 months old!

You may remember this sweet Sanders family from Will’s newborn and 3 month photo session.  They have joined my “Babies First Year” program and chosen to have their little one photographed every 3 months.  It is so fun for me to see Will grow at each photosession!  It’s amazing how much can change in just three months!    I am offering a $200 discount for the first 10 families that sign up for this program, and I still have a few spots - so shoot me an email if you would like more information!  Also keep in mind, this could be an excellent gift for an expectant mother!

Here is Will’s three month session    and here is Will’s newborn session   in case you missed it.

For Will’s six month, we decided to do some “typical” things around the house, play with some of his favorite toys, and then take his first trip to a playground.  We had a blast!

Day in the Life: the Batt Family

Baby Liam is one lucky little guy!   You can just feel how much he is loved, and I think it comes across in these images.  I LOVE shooting Day in the Life sessions… to capture some slices of everyday life.  Those moments probably sometimes seem mundane, but each one beautiful in its own way, and a sweet sweet part of life.  I’m so honored to be able to capture and document them!  Here are a few of my favorites from my session with the Batts on Monday.

back home…

I am feeling SO guilty for not posting anything all week!  Y’all know how that week coming back from vacation is…it’s hard to get back in the swing of things!  I’m finally caught up and back to business as usual again :)

Just to tide you over, here’s a sneak peek from a “day in the life” session I shot on Monday in the Charlotte area.  I don’t think this family could get any more beautiful!!

Slideshow coming!

The Wardrup Family

Last week I shot a super-fun “Day in the Life” session in Lexington.  We fit a lot into our 2.5 hour session - reading in the bedroom, eating watermelon on the porch, swimming in the community pool, bath time, and bed time.  What a sweet family!

Sweet Katie

Earlier this week I photographed Rachel, Doug,  and little Katie!  Rachel booked me over the phone, and as soon as she opened the door to greet me I realized that we had some mutual friends in high school!  It’s such a small world, and such fun to get reacquainted with people from the past.  Katie is SO precious!

Baby Jack

Last week I photographed baby Jack’s first “Day in the Life” session, as a part of my new Baby’s First Year program.  It is so fun when I photograph a couple’s wedding, and then I get the huge blessing of photographing their first baby!  It’s so fun to share and capture the joy in these couple’s lives!  Email me if you are pregnant and would like information on my “Babies First Year” program.   Five session and three session packages available.  I’m also available for travel.

the Thalinger Family: day in the life

Yesterday I spent the morning with the adorable Thalinger family! Baby Jackson is just 3 weeks old, and could not be any cuter. Seriously, he's simply perfect.  Lindsay has such a natural mother's instinct and she is just glowing! And Kevin, well he was so helpful and attentive. What a sweet family!!

A Day in the Life…

Let me tell you about a new type of session I’ve been doing recently.   A Day in the Life session is meant to capture your family doing what you do - just a typical day in your life.  No forced poses - no special outfits. Just real, genuine images capturing the essence of your family.  The end product is a slideshow showcasing your images, and a custom designed coffee table album for your family to treasure for years to come!

This past Sunday I photographed the Cole family for their day in the life session.  From the time I saw little Henry, I just fell in love with him! It was such a joy getting to know them!  They have been renovating a house in Heathwood, so a huge part of their life is fixing up the house…which explains a lot of the images you see here.  I just love this type of documentary session because twenty years from now, wouldn’t you rather see what your real daily life is like instead of the posed stuff?  These sessions start at $300 (including a coffee table album).
