Christmas In July | December Baby Boy | Clayton, NC Family, Children and Newborn Photographer

I was inspired today by a photo that my client posted of their baby boy sleeping in a Christmas print sleeper.  And thought that I would piggy back off of his photo by posting some of the photos I captured of their boys at Christmas time.

I personally have a Christmas Eve baby and know the excitement of such a wonderful gift during the most special time of the year.  It wasn’t any different for the Llyods who welcomed a THIRD boy!  It was so much fun to capture the older two enjoying the Christmas spirit and waiting to get their photos taken with their new baby brother.

I’m certain that Christmases at the Lloyds will always be filled with excitement, joy, love and great memories.

If you’d love to have a lifestyle session in your home please message me!  They are one of my favorite types of photography!  True…real…images.

Logan Family | Happy Go Lucky | Clayton, NC Family Photographer

Last fall we had the most beautiful weather for a family session that included a “tween”.  Talk about FUN!  The Logan family sure does know how to have a good time, have some laughs, be goofy and truly enjoy life.  Mark had told me it had been YEARS since they had family photos done.  Their little girl was…well…LITTLE!  It is hard to realize how quickly our children grow up.

As I’m sure when looking back at photos it can seem like just yesterday they were babies.  I know that Mark and his family were truly grateful for the images that we were able to capture last fall.  I’m looking forward to being able to continue to capture more moments for more families.  I truly love seeing the joy on my clients’ faces when they tell me how much their photos mean to them.

Taylor Family | Party of 3 |Clayton, NC Natural Family Photographer

Nothing makes me more happy than capturing a family just being themselves.  Parents often get stressed that their little ones will run off, have a temper tantrum, not look at the camera, sit still or say “cheese”.  But, honestly those photos where the child is sitting still, looking at the camera and saying “cheese” are not my favorite.  They’re over posed, forced and just not natural.  You gotta get your running shoes on, make it fun, and just follow closely with your camera ready to “catch” them in their element.  THOSE are my favorite types of photos.

I loved my session last fall with the Taylor family.  We laughed, played, did tickles, climbed trees and got beautiful, natural, sincere smiles and memories on “film”.

I am now taking limited sessions for FALL 2016!  Please message me if you’d like to have a good time capturing some memories with your loved ones!  Whether you are a family, a couple, a couple with fur babies, a high school senior and are looking for a photographer who gets YOU; I’m your gal!

Parsons Family | 3 Boys | Clayton, NC Family Photographer

Catching up from fall 2015!!!

Meet the Parsons family!!  When Janette told me that she had three boys I was excited!  Then she told me they were 1, 10, and 20!  I was wondering how on Earth was I going to do find ways to shoot them all together with the age gap?  It wasn’t hard once I had them in front of the camera. They had the natural brother dynamics.  My hat is off to mom though, I really don’t know how she does it!!

A Walk in the Park | Family Photo Fun | Clayton, NC Family Photographer

How about I try and play a LOT of catching up to do on my website?

I spent a nice early October evening with the Read family at Lake Benson Park.  We had the PERFECT weather and backlighting (my favorite).  There was a lot of pretty landscapes to take in so we made the most of it by going off the beaten path and venturing into the woods.  By doing so we avoided some of the crowds.  You can be sure to see this family again because next time they want to have their fur-babies in their photos too!

If you’ve been thinking of booking a session, do so now!  Spring spots will start to fill up, and my time in May is limited!  Shoot me a message on how we can capture your family!
