The Heinzerling and Brown Family

The word that comes to mind when I think of this family is "Fun".  These sweet and fun parents have 3 really fun boys.... they are funny together, were willing to be funny for my camera and felt free to express themselves.  Watch out for these 3.  They are unreserved and will go far in this world!  Sometimes when I photograph kids they are super reserved, but not these three.  I felt like I was able to see their real personalities. That's one of the things I like best about doing photo shoots at home.  Kids (and the rest of the family too) are on their own turf and tend to be more relaxed.  I loved how grandma, grandpa and uncle were included in the special day for a truly full family photo shoot.

The Thompson Family

I met this adorable little boy and his parents for a quick session at an amazing place.... where they were married several years ago.  I love it when we can combine a photo session with a meaningful place.  That's a great combo.  This family had love just oozing out of them.  You can see that this little guy is the apple of their eye, and for good reason, he's a cutie patootie!  Love his gorgeous big eyes.  You truly could just eat him up.

Did I mention I love fall?!?!?!

Here are just a few from the woods behind our house.  Seriously, I don't think there is a prettier time of the year!!

Fallin' for Fall

I think I might not be able to express how much I truly love the fall in Charlotte.  Being a native Southern Californian I really appreciate the dramatic change we get to see here each season, with fall being my hands-down favorite.  

The Harlow Family

We met up on a beautiful early fall day to get this shoot done before the flurry of the holidays.  This is a super sweet bunch with tons of energy.  All families of toddlers definitely are faced with the challenge of lively toddlers and these two little ones are as cute as buttons and full of spunk!  But doing a session so close to water could be dangerous.... but not for these two.  These kiddos are great listeners and so tuned in to their parents.  Good job parents.  Love this family... they are my family too and so very proud of how my sister and brother-in-law are raising their kiddos.  Lots of love there.
