4 generations....

Here are just a couple of sneak peeks for the Bostian's....

I had the honor and privlege to meet this special family. In this photo there are 4 generations of women. I love a family of strong women!

Hope that helps hold you over for a couple more days!

Pig Tails!

Another amazingly beautiful spring evening in the Carolinas, with an amazing family.

My inspiration....

This fantastically gorgeous family is my aerobics instructor! She is a genuinely amazing woman and mother. What a fantastic spring evening with the Bryants. Thanks for everything Sherry.

Dandelion Diva

What a sweet family! I had the pleasure of meeting 'G' today! She was so exicted about theses dandelions, it was beautiful! We had a great evening in the park. Thanks to mom and grandma for being so patient and helpful. Enjoy your sneak peek... :)

'Senority'

Senior pics... Just a glimpse. What a great sport, he was so much fun!

baby love...

Sweet baby 'L' is 9 days old. She surprised her mommy and daddy a couple weeks early. She was fantastic! So tiny and happy. A special 'thank you' to the Johnson's for being so patient.

Hometown Heros!

A Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God,

Whenever flames may rage;

Give me strength to save some life,

Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child before it is too late

Or save an older person from the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout,

And quickly and efficiently to put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me

To guard my every neighbor and protect his property.

And if, according to my fate,

I am to lose my life,

Please bless with your protecting

My children and my wife.

Men (and women) in uniform hold a dear place in my heart. Check out my website for me new addition- 'Hometown Heros'. My tribute to the men and women who risk their lives, and their families. Please contact me for ongoing specials for my 'special' heros.

Sweet 7-year-old!

Happy Birthday Luke! Hard to believe he is already 7. Thanks to the Harrison's for braving the 40 degree weather and 15+ mph winds. You guys were fantastic!

Field Trip!

I had no idea this photo shoot would take me to a part of Salisbury I never knew existed! Apparently there is a historic prision near downtown Salisbury. The owner is an older gentleman who opens it to the public and shows people around. The building itself is somewhat held together by vines. Honestly, it will collapse without the vines. So full of character! There were even chickens running around that didn't like it when Noah tried to leave! So thanks to the McDaniels for a great (and beautiful) afternoon!

Making up for wasted time...

Finally! Some beautiful weather! I think the whole south-east is thinking the same thing. Just the first of a few 'make-up' shoots that were scheduled, rescheduled and rescheduled.

This family is so dear to me, baby M, has and always be my little boy-friend. As long as I can remember I say that to him and he blushes! Too sweet :) They didn't disappoint me today, as I have obviously too many too choose from!

The newest Taylor

These are such special friends! They welcomed thier little boy on February 21. We did these photos at only 7 days old! This So squishy and sweet. We were so lucky to actually have one day of 'nice' (meaning above 30 degrees) for this shoot.

And those wrinkles... could just pinch 'em! :)

Stationary is a second passion of mine (to phtoography, of course!)... So I have started offering photo cards. This is my first birth announcement! My second (third, fourth, fifth and sixth!) projects are Valentine's cards. I will post them :) So exciting!

Enjoying the weather

Hard to believe we were acutally thankful for this warm weather... in the 50's! Turned out to be a beautiful couple of days.

I had to privilege of shooting sweet Addie a couples of weeks ago, now mom wanted the whole family! What a sweet bunch of kids! Winston 'the puppy' fit right in with their sweet and calm demeanor. It was truely a joy to capture these kids!

Sweetness...

Sweet Courtney is my son's age, 6! She has grown so much in the last 6 months, still shy and quiet- yet beautiful and graeful. I have known her mom for way too many years! So nice to have great friends. I might mention that these 2 did amazing, considering that it was 39 degrees during this shoot. Little Nathan keep getting the chills then giggling at himself!

Almost 6-month pictures...

Sweet baby Ryan entered this world about 7 weeks early and while mommy was on vacation! Lots of struggles at first, but doing fantastic now! Don't we wish every baby was this happy! Great session, thanks mommy!

So much fun doing sessions with close friends, this was no exception. Loved the gorgeous barn! They were troopers in the 29 degree weather!

New Year's Goal

One of my New Year's Resolution or goal is a good family picture. Seems I am pretty picky, even with my own kids. Here is a new location I am in love with! Seems Carrigan enjoyed running away from everyone more than anything!
