Engagement / Save-the-date Photoshoot at The Old Guilford Mill

These two really are adorable! With their wedding just around the corner, Cheryl had to recently undergo a little surgery but she completely killed it at this photoshoot!! Her fiancé, Drew, was always there to lend her a hand but looking at these pictures you cannot tell, they’re both just radiant!

Their love for each other just shines through in every glance and smile.

Congratulations to you both!! You guys are amazing! I wish you both a future full of love, happiness and wonder!

In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session - Greensboro, NC

I absolutely LOVE newborn sessions! It is such a privilege to be invited into your new baby’s home and be able to witness some of their very first moments. I strive to make these In-Home Lifestyle Sessions an ease for the parents and there’s nothing better than getting to relax and enjoy the comfort of your own home.

However, I am frequently asked what is a Lifestyle Newborn Photoshoot and what makes it different? To put it simply, it’s your own unique story and I’d love to tell it!

Upon arrival, I like to request a tour of your home so I can find all of those morning light goldmines and locate any areas of significance (i.e. baby’s nursery, areas displaying current holiday decorations, main living area, etc.). Then once the spots have been picked, we just gradually transition from room to room. These sessions are incredibly relaxed and carefree.

One big question I receive most is,” What if my baby isn’t asleep?”. I do recommend a warm bath and regular feeding prior to the shoot to relax your baby. However, the incredible thing about babies is no matter if they’re asleep or awake they’re always ADORABLE! I personally love to see that they’re having to much fun to close their eyes.

Your newborn is the star of the show and their happiness and comfort level is my absolute number one priority.

Through out the photoshoot and in between the room transitions, feedings, outfit and diaper changes are to be expected and are completely natural. I’ll continue to capture these moments, as long as you’re comfortable. These particular intimate moments will remain private and will only be publicly displayed with your express permission.

As for props, I like to utilize the items you already have/ use: an outfit or two, pretty bows, shoes, furry companions, pacifiers, siblings, you name it!

From there it’s all about the connections, kisses and all of the little things.

I almost forgot about the epic pillow fights and The Land Before Time intermissions :)

To this loving family - It has been a honor to tell your beautiful story. I have had so much fun working with all of you and I can’t wait to do it again.! Your kids have completely stolen my heart. Congratulations on your sweet baby girl!

Now what’s your story? I can’t wait to find out!

What a day in the Park - Family Session in Greensboro, NC

What a gorgeous day in the park with this wonderful family. There were smiles ear to ear as we daydreamed about everyone's favorite flavor of ice cream!

These girls are the absolute sweetest! The youngest, Amelia, was full of energy and her older sister, Lila, has the best smile and is rocking those new braces!

Sisters really do make the best friends!

This power couple isn't just adorable but they also know how to dance!

There is just so much love and support in this family. With the Boston Marathon just a week away, Matt and the girls were already pumped to cheer Evan across the finish line! 

Thank you for letting me be a part of such a fun afternoon! I hope you all have a wonderful summer with lots and lots of ice cream!
