The past few weeks I have been shooting non stop!  It's a fabulous time of year to be taking photos- not too hot(until yesterday's session, can we say humid?) and sunny, sweet light all around.  I am going in to a cave for the next couple of days(+ amazing wedding on Saturday) to get caught up on the mass amounts of images sitting on my computer right now, but hopefully these teasers will hold you over...and this is just SOME of what's happening around here!  Happy Weekend!

Sharpe turned four months.  We were over a week late on his monthly photo with Darby, but here it is.  I have a feeling that little ear tug is the first of many for our sweet bear.  Just love them both to pieces!

Coming up:

Ashley and Austin's engagement session(also recently shot Ashley's bridal portraits.  Just you wait on those!)

Precious baby Graham was born.  Winner of America's Youngest Tarheel Fan award.

Hope and Adam's engagement session!

Elliot turns one.

Jessie's adorable pregnant belly.

Brothers.

We can't believe our little buddy is three months old already!  He is the best little boy and we just love spending all the time we can with him right now.  He is definitely an "easy" baby, so we are very thankful!  He hasn't been to the dr. in a while, but over a month ago he weighed 15 lbs and is in the 99th percentile for everything!  Hello huge!!  Looks more like a 5 month old, but he is healthy and happy, so we love our big boy!  He is going to be clobbering Darby before we know it!  We snapped these in the backyard yesterday very quickly.  It was his first time feeling grass, so he was really trying to figure everything out.  I am glad the warm weather is back and we can do his monthly pics with Darby outside instead of inside.  I just love his sweet face! Enjoy these and some previews...

More previews!  Diana and Brian's wedding...an amazing carolina day.

Seniors, Seniors, Seniors!  Now booking summer 2012 for 2013 seniors.

this week

We had an amazing workshop this past weekend!  Thanks to everyone who came out and learned more about how to take fabulous photos!  Boy was it cold when we were outside practicing with our model, but it was definitely worth it.  I was so impressed by this group!  If you want to be added to the mailing list to know about future workshops, shoot me an email through my contact section and just put workshop as the subject.  I am already trying to find a date to host another. We really love teaching this stuff!

Here is just a quick preview of some things hitting the blog this week...not to mention that I am still blogging mini-sessions.  Oh, and a pic of Sharpe.  This was taken when he was a month old...I am already about to take the two month photo with Darby(a little late on the uptake I know)!  Her hair is starting to turn a corner.  Thank goodness! Sharpe has really starting smiling since this photo was taken, he looks so serious here!  Happy Viewing...

Griffin's 6 month photos.  Seriously cutest, most smiley baby ever.

My Belly

A few weeks ago we ran out at sunset to grab some shots of my belly.  I wasn't too excited about the idea of doing lots of posing(even though I LOVE belly sessions with my clients and think they all look so amazing), but I knew I would regret not having some photos of this time in our lives.  So, off we went!  Joe took the ones of just me and a remote took the ones of us together.  We are ghetto like that:)  Very reminiscent of our card from last year, we did these in the same field...I think we will make this a tradition at some point every year, though we will definitely have professional photos taken of our family after the babe comes.

In other news, how cute is Darby?!  She can't wait for her little brother to get here and she loves giving the belly hugs.  I am a little worried that our love for Darby is going to give our kid a complex:)  Happy Tuesday!

Come home soon

Our little bear Darby has been on vacation at Oak Island with her grandparents since Saturday.  Granted, I like that she gets to have an adventure, run around, have leisure beach time, and play, but things are waaayyy too quiet around here!  No running to greet us at the door when we come in.  No bear hugs.  No random barking at the UPS man.  No Kitty/Darby nap time.  It's just plain sad.  Joe and I both agree that we don't like it when she is away.  Come home soon, Darby!  (Here is a photo I took at our ghetto belly shoot)

Coming up later today, McKenzie and Logan's wedding!
