Speight Family 2022

Oh my, I can hardly believe it's already been a year since I photographed this little guy... truly not so little anymore.  Although I do love those sweet little perfect baby teeth.  How much longer do you think those beauties will be with us before the big grown up teeth make their way?  Big kids are fun too. I love how mine have grown up, but still.... working with this sweet little guy brings back so many fun memories of times at the park with my kiddos.  During our session we had some fun at the park too.  Such special times playing.  Thanks for a great day!

This sweet mom to this entire crew is one of my dearest friends. I feel like I know this family from all her descriptions of fun parties and gatherings throughout the year. This I know: They have a blast when they are together. They can put together a charcuterie board like no other. They love Buffalo, especially football. They love each other fiercely.  They love Jesus.

I was blessed to spend this morning with this lovely bunch getting to to see them have fun and interact. And the smiles on those kiddos.... they are the cutest!  Below are a few of my favorites from the day.

Legvold Family

I'm pretty sure I might have mentioned this a time or two, but I love photographing families. I love the pre-session chat where we discuss the client's hope for the session. I love how we decide where we will go. I also love the day of.... getting to meet the whole group and see their bunch in action.  This group did not disappoint. I've known this mama for quite a few years now and it was my joy to get to see her sweet crew all together. We had decided this would be a partial family session combined with a senior session for her oldest. I was thrilled to be able to capture his great love for this mighty big and special truck. I hope these images are some he's able to show his own kiddos years from now and recall all the fun times from his high school years.  

And while I really love photographing people, my absolute favorite part is the slideshow.  Here's their slideshow and more images from our time together:  https://youtu.be/jK4gMkhF7ZU

Bartholf Family

This was one of those sessions that was scheduled a few times due to weather and the trees just not leafing out.  Then we sure hit the jackpot with the day we were finally able to meet up. The weather on this amazing spring day was just why we love living in Charlotte.  Those teeny baby leaves were just beginning to leaf out and led to the opportunity for a great session. It was a pleasure to meet this family and get to know their sweet bunch.  To see more of our time together check out their slideshow at: https://youtu.be/QCNVZ0Ih0yQ

Harlow 2021

I met up with these cuties last weekend at a small site with amazing fall foliage.  I'm not sure it would be possible to look at the beautiful images from this session without being in awe of the fall color this year. The only thing that outshone the color were the cute smiles of this funny bunch. These kiddos are my nieces and nephew and I'm so glad we were able to get a beautiful session finished before all the leaves vanished.  It goes too fast, just like how these kids are growing up too fast!!  To see more of our amazing fall session together check out this slideshow https://youtu.be/Q-jMGIm7QIs

Ross Family 2021

Another photo shoot for this bunch is in the books. I can hardly believe how crazy it is that their oldest was just a few days old when I met him. It's incredible how time just flies. These cuties are all growing like weeds and it is fun to capture their sweet expressions. Fall colors in the yard create such lovely backgrounds this time of year.  I love it!  To see more of our session together check out their slideshow https://youtu.be/veU_Jl6546s

Speight Family

So I photograph a lot of lovely families but this little guy and his parents hold a special place in my heart. He's a lot like my own son.... curious, interested in building, how things work and just an all around sweet boy. Over the years I've been able to see him grow from a toddler into the boy he is now with glimpses into the young man he's becoming. He loves the Lord and I so enjoy his innocence and enthusiasm for life.  Love this kid!

Teat Family

On this beautiful fall day I met up with this sweet family to capture yet another family session. What a joy to see this cousin crew in their matching shirts. They are grown so much in just a year!  New home and new adventures lie ahead for this bunch!!  To see more of our time together check out their slideshow at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBst1FNEUl8
