Team Franck

We've been talking about a session with this adorable family for months, and we were so happy to finally meet you all! Cameron & Jackson are the sweetest, most curious boys with the biggest smiles. :) We loved hanging out with you all! Enjoy your sneak peek! :)

Love the expressions here :)

so sweet!

Karen & Sam, you two have made two beautiful boys. And I need to be around them a bit more before I can tell them apart! ;)

So curious about the fountain :)

Oh, I love this little innocent, curious look!

Walking downtown with Daddy :)

I'll say it again...I love little feet!!

These are always so much fun, but it's hard to catch a little one in the air and have them properly focused and exposed...this one was perfect in my eyes!

Okay, these two make my heart melt, and make me giggle. The first is exactly what I was going for...

...and this one I had no plans for, but am SO glad this gull flew into my frame!! :)

Karen, I love your happy beach dance pose, this is too cute! :)

Pretty sure he was coming to check out his photo on my camera's digital display, and I love that look! :)

Thank you Karen & Sam, and your boys, for being so relaxed and wonderful! We'll work with you again anytime!!

The Beautiful Beachams

A tiny sneak peek for the lovely blonde ladies and their man of the fam. :) We were so happy to see you all, and can't wait to come back, cameras or not!

love this shot of Gunnie jumping!

Ty's name, written by Tyler herself :)

Another tilted camera shot by Jordan that I absolutely love

This looks like pure joy, and makes me smile :)

sweet sisters

caught Ty running by!

I know it's a sleepy-eye-rub shot, but this was too cute and gorgeous to leave out :)

Happiness! Rita's was delish!

Getting excited about hot dogs for lunch!

Love this look as Tyler's heading out with her 'zine :)

We love you Beacham family, and will see you again soon!

PS-I can't believe Tyler is almost five!!

Angela's Bridals

Have I mentioned that we have the most gorgeous clients? Case in point, you can't miss Angela's bridals or you'll be missing some serious beauty. She and her hubby are having a destination wedding, and are leaving tomorrow (Angela you'll have to remind me where again, my brain is trying to recall the lovely island spot where you'll be). I quickly ran through what we shot last night, and intended to pick four or five of my favorites to give her a peek before she goes. But, I ended up loving 15 of them, and that's just at first glance. :)

We first stopped at a warm brick-filled spot...

Then Jordan wanted a grassy spot shot with all of this yummy evening light!

Many shots by the well, though the place was as crowded as usual at this time of year. We felt like we had more authority than the other folks though, we had a bride in a wedding gown! Not to worry, no force was used, they kindly stepped off for a few moments. :)

Angela owns this well!

Shooting from the road while Jordan (hopefully) was looking out for cars!

Perfect time of year to shoot with the azaleas out

Angela, I love this hand-on-the-hip shot :)

Oops, we made you a shorty :) I do love this though!

Gorgeous, honestly.

Nice shot by Jordan...we're usually all about the candid in-between moments, but Jordan turned into a poser for this session! I let him run with it, and I don't think Angela minded too much. We still had a lot of fun. :)

Ah, Jordan in the bushes...this paparazzi shot is a huge win!

Love the twisting photos :)

I've been wanting to shoot at this doorway for ages, since we first did a shot there last fall. I am loving this outcome so much that I decided to post two. :)

Yep, Jordan's tilt of the camera is a tad contagious, I do it a bit too :)

Goooorgeous!

Congratulations and have a wonderful week with your hubby and loved ones, Angela!! Please do send us photos of your wedding, we can't wait to see!

Us

Yes, you have to scroll down to see the "us" photos. :) Our new wedding photographers and friends Jamie & Richie Staggs grabbed some engagement photos of us in Raleigh, and we LOVE them (the photos, and Jamie and Richie)!!

I joined them for a bridal session a few days later, and got distracted by their little man, Z. He's too cute not to share, right? Had to post some of him too...and hopefully we'll have more of their whole family to post this summer!

Little Z-man has some stunning eyes!

It was a gorgeous evening to spend in the green grass :)

Lil Z loves this trick!

One more...love his big grin :)

These first two were taken by Richie on my camera (though he's a Nikon-lover). I did a couple of vintage-inspired edits for myself. :)

Love this...thanks Richie!

And now the photos taken on those Nikon folks' cameras. :) We loved so many, we decided to put em together to make this post a tad smaller...love the ones of Jordan and his uke :)

The flare and cupcake shots are my favorite :) Though I love them all!

Jamie & Richie, thank you so much (for the 1000th time)! :) We'll be seeing you soon I'm sure, and Jamie we will get YOU in front of the camera! ;)

The Zinn Family

We had the pleasure of photographing the Zinn family (along with their Nana) on a gorgeous Saturday morning at UNC's Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill. We came home with a TON of great shots of these gorgeous girls and their beautiful family! We're sharing quite a few here, and have many more to prepare for your full gallery. Enjoy this "sneak peek!"

A bit of climbing on the storytelling chair :)

Love this peekaboo shot! I'm always a sucker for these!

Taking a break to enjoy a lolli

Lollis up!

So sweet!

The perfect dress for twirling!

More twirling with the lolli

Love this look! And the little guys behind her :)

bubble time!

Bubbles always bring out a smile!

Looking for frogs, but I think they found "paparazzi Jordan" in the trees :)

sweet family shot

Look at that big smile! :)

the perfect place for a stroll

we had to grab a couple mom & dad shots :)

these flowers were so fragrant, and gorgeous!

the girls join for one more shot!

Josh, Gaby, & Becca, thank you for meeting us. We had a wonderful time, and hope to see you again!!
