Oh Mama! | NC maternity photographer

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 Posted in Sneak Peeks

I had the privilege of photographing this gorgeous mom-to-be last week, and what a fun time we had!  And my favorite part of the session?  The unexpected hug as I was heading out the door.  I sooo *heart* my clients!

Hopefully we’ll get to meet that baby within the next 3 weeks or so! ;)

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night | NC newborn photographer

Saturday, February 13, 2010 Posted in Sneak Peeks

So… I have been photographing this family’s little ones since 2008, and it seems that the weather always like to play havoc with our schedules.  Mom’s original maternity session date for the latest babe was postponed due to wintry weather.  Then new baby arrived, and the weekend we had planned to do the newborn session was put off due to more snow, with another chance of winter weather the following weekend.  We eked this session out between the weather events, thankfully.  Here are few of the newest “fish” in the sea.

May the weather be more cooperative the rest of this winter. :)

Holy Guacamole, Batman! | NC photographer

Friday, February 5, 2010 Posted in Sneak Peeks

Good grief!  I do apologize for the INCREDIBLY long lapse I took in updating the blog.  The last post was at the end of September and that is when us photographers get busy busy busy!  Between having a little one in school now and all the business that came my way – my blog took a back seat!  If you are a Facebooker (like I am), please be sure to become a fan.  I often surprise people with the little contests and rewards… :)

SO – to bring you up to speed, here are a few of my fave images from the Fall/Holiday Rush of 2009.

What To Wear Wednesday | NC Family Photographer

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 Posted in what to wear

It’s time for family portraits – which means it is time to stress over what to wear!  Most families make clothing selections for their portraits harder than it has to be.  Make it simple by picking a pair of coordinating colors, and work your outfits out around that.  Don’t be afraid to use a subtle pattern, and don’t be afraid to have members of the family wear different colored shirts!

Below is a really simple idea of color coordinating (all of these clothes are available from the GAP, Inc. stores):

20090918family

This is very basic – and you can expand upon these ideas.  Pick colors that work well with your family and don’t be afraid to step away from “matchy-matchy” blue jeans/khakis and white shirts.  Have some fun and mix up your colors.  The one simple rule I have for family portraits – DON’T CLASH! :)

Until next time…
