Faith {Lexington, NC Photographer}

Faith is one of the coolest 5th graders I know, not to mention one of the sweetest. She is turning in to such a sweet young lady that is full of determination to reach her goals and always brings smiles to everyone that is around her. This session was able to showcase both the prissy and sassy sides which I LOVE! Hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks!

Lela is 1! {Archdale, NC Photographer}

 Lela is such a sweet little blue eyed beauty and those little teeth peeking through just melted me to pieces. She was an absolute doll and loved having Chester Monstaz at her session, he was such a comforting friend to have at her session! Hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks!

Sweet little Calleigh {Thomasville, NC Newborn Photographer}

 Welcome to the world sweet Calleigh! I'm not sure what I fell in love with more at this session..the fact that Calleigh was so wide eyed and interested in everything around her, or that her family is just absolutely precious together! This little princess konked out for a bit to get in some of those sweet little sleepy shots but her curiousity is sure to guide her through this big 'ol world. Hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks!

Client Appreciation Days

I am amazed at where I have come in a little less than 2 years, when I first started out on this adventure I questioned whether I would be able to keep my calendar busy..fast forward to now and I can barely keep up some days! I know that this is all thanks to the wonderful clients I have..the ones that have been there since day one and the ones that have came in along the way and continued to allow me to capture their many memories. I am a giver by nature and I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for all my clients and thanks to my wonderful hubby's idea I am proud to announce I will be holding 2 Customer Appreciation days..1 in the Fall and 1 in the Spring!!! {You can now insert super big smiles and let the excitement begin!!!}

~*~IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENTS~*~

Whew I was welcomed back to work with plenty of emails and messages to catch up on..makes me feel loved hehe! I have been doing alot of thinking and planning and have a couple announcements to share so please be sure to read ALL of this post.

I have realized over the past year that my career is advancing towards working with little ones which I absolutely LOVE and hope that my calendar continues to fill in with little ones I can capture throughout their first years and on in to their childhoods. I cannot express how important it makes me feel and how much I cherish being allowed to share these special moments with so many families. I grow so attached to them and love to hear and see how much they grow from session to session! With that being said I am going to make these sessions more of a top priority on my calendar. I will also be limiting how many I can take in the Watch Me Grow Packages..I can only fit so many on my calendar and want to make sure I can be as accommodating as possible to all parent schedules. I will have space for approximately 10-12 new packages for the next year, and these spaces fill in very quickly!

Beginning in 2013 I will be limiting the amount of Weddings I take in so that I have more weekend availability to offer to families and baby sessions. I will ONLY take on 5 Weddings per year, please note that I already have 2 2013 Weddings on my calendar so this leaves me with only 3 more to take on..if you are interested in 2013 Wedding Coverage contact me asap to schedule your consultation!

I have also had a HUGE influx of Boudoir bookings and these are also a favorite session of mine and I am happy to say that this is something that will also have priority on my calendar..please keep in mind I have the dates already set for Valentine's Boudoir Specials and these fill in VERY quickly..if you are interested in more info let me know!

With the prices of practically everything rising quickly I am happy to announce that aside from Weddings ALL other session pricing won't be changing for 2013!! In addition to that I will also be offering 1-2 days per month of Mini sessions. These will be at various locations and will be different than seasonal mini's..it gives an even more budget efficient option and honestly some clients just prefer a more condensed session which is completely fine with me! CD's have been included in all sessions up until now and that will remain the same as well.

I cannot express my gratitude enough to the amazing clients that I have. I am lucky and blessed to have a career that I love! I appreciate that so many of you choose to share my name with family and friends and help me to further my goals, for those that have gave me confidence to carry on when I first started, and for the many friendships that have been formed...simply put..thank you for choosing me to work with..trusting me to capture timeless memories for your families..and treating me like family!!

Walker Girls {Lexington, NC Photographer}

 Aren't these little blue eyed beauties adorable?! Tatum is such a sweet little one and absolutely adores her little sister. Kimber is great at the serious face and made me work for any of her smiles! I look forward to seeing this little sweetpeas again in just a few months!

Sawyer turns 1! {Lexington, NC Photographer}

 I have had the privilege of capturing Sawyer throughout his first year. He was a bundle of fun during this session and loved to watch the boats pass by us. He definitely knew what to do with the cake and had a ball digging in to the icing. I hope y'all enjoy the sneak peaks!

Comer Family {Clemmons, NC Photographer}

The Comer Family are previous clients and such a sweet little family to work with. Stephanie and Chase have a sweet southern romance towards each other and Nick compliments there little family so well. He definitely had a plan all his own for the session but was willing to flash those beautiful baby blues and adorable little grins for Daddy being silly! It is very apparent just how in love with his parents this little guy is. I hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks!

Allison and Mason {Clemmons, NC Photographer}

 Allison is a previous client and always a bunch of fun to work with..her personality is super laid back and is refreshing to be around. Allison and Mason balance each other out well and both have a witty easy going personalities. They kept me laughing throughout the session and made it fun to shoot. I hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks!
