I just love how the city decorates our little downtown for the holidays. Brightly-lit evergreen trees line Queen Street and shop owners add to the festive scene with fun holiday window displays. It makes a perfect backdrop for a Christmas shoot. We’ll forget that it was actually about 65 degrees during this shoot and […]

I am thrilled to announce that I will be offering mini sessions once again! This time it is really special! The Date is Saturday, December 7, 2013. The cost is a donation to Toloha Partnership. Every penny given for these mini sessions goes straight to the Toloha Partnership Water Project. As I mentioned a couple […]

This brother and sister started out a little shy in front of the camera. Jenks could not stop laughing, even though I was told by his mom, Beverly, that it would be a challenge to get him to smile! Pretty soon he was posing like a champ – look at this guy, he’s totally model […]

Jason and Susan are two of the most energetic people I know. It’s not necessarily physical energy (although they have that, too), but emotional and spiritual energy.  It is motivating and contagious. One of my goals was to capture that energy in our family portrait session with their two boys. We had a lot of […]

Let me tell you something, this family knows how to throw a party! I had the privilege of doing event photography for them last August at a special anniversary and birthday celebration and again last Saturday for Chris’s big 5-0! It was a very light-hearted time with lots of laughter and constant conversation. The atmosphere […]

  Since I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I’ve been afraid of having three boys. My husband told me horror stories of emergency trips with he and his two brothers when they were growing up. I always felt for his mom – I thought she must have been a nervous wreck […]

Meet Will! Is he not the cutest?! Will is at such a fun age – only a few weeks older than my Declan.  Will’s mama, Kristy, and I have determined they’re going to be great friends. As soon as the Will, Kristy and little Will arrived for their portrait session, I knew we would have […]

I loved this session because it really showed me how important it is to make my clients feel comfortable in front of the camera – I had to disappear into the background. Once I achieved this, it was so much easier for them to release their inhibitions and interact naturally. Ann really wanted to have […]

These sweet faces should be pretty familiar. The Martin family has probably graced the pages of my blog almost as often as my own family. I have been documenting their lives since they moved to Kinston before Emma Claire was born. You can see the little ones grow in all of their sessions on my […]

One of the best things about the portrait business is having the privilege of watching my clients’ children grow up. Each year, I have the opportunity to capture how their sweet faces change and they grow a couple inches in height. It’s a bonus when my clients are also our close friends, like Mike and […]
