Lovin' Olivia

Sunday afternoon was hot. I mean really, really hot. Little Olivia didn't seem to take a moment's notice of the heat, just kept on traipsing around wherever we suggested! We met at the Arboretum, and then roamed the streets at Wrightsville, getting shots here and there as we walked. I have to say, the Wrightsville shots are my favorites. Nothing beats a good session full of street shots, and I looooove what we got! :)

Olivia inside the "Princess House" :)

Love that it looks like she's awaiting the arrival of a Princess friend :)

I absolutely love this. I think it's the windblown hair, and that genuine, adorable smile. Perfect. I think she was smiling this big because she was holding Jordan's hand at the time. :)

Have I mentioned my love for this dress? Caroline, it is beyond cute, I love it!

And who wouldn't love that little shoulder-shrug laugh? :)

Classic Wrightsville spot

Love that she's grabbing mom's earring here :)

Jordan's catch-nice!

Pure curiosity :)

Love it!

Olivia has some contagious laughter! :)

Alright folks, I wanted an opinion here...the last two photos are the same, the first is a closer crop. What do you like? I love them both. And yes, we have color shots here too. Just loved this conversion!

Full frame shot

Caroline, thanks for putting up with the blazing heat! We loved hangin' out with you two! :)

Brown Eyes & Sandy Feet

Our third session of the weekend, with beautiful little Kaylie and her family. A little bit of beach time, followed by some colorful shots at the Arboretum. We are loving these, guys. Hope you do too! :)

One from the day before our session. I just love her expression here!

Finding a crab on the beach with Daddy :)

Love those sandy feet!

Sweet shots :)

I promise you, we don't tell everyone to do this. Whether prompted or not, it always brings out smiles!

Playing peekaboo under the pier :)

And a round of ring around the rosie

Finding some shells before we leave

Love this dress!

The colors are perfect, and so was the light!

Thank you all for a lovely Sunday morning! :)

T-Man

The beginning of a weekend full of photo sessions in Wilmington & Wrightsville...

It was hot, folks. But it was fun, and thankfully most of our sessions involved beach photos. Oh how lovely that water felt on our toes! Taylor here was loving the waves, and spent most of our beach time collecting shells, and then being dipped into the water by dad. :)

After some beach and pier shots, we headed to a shady spot in Wrightsville where we were all nearly covered in ants! We got a few cute shots there and headed out quick, and decided to go check out Wrightsville's fire trucks across the street. Luckily, some of the fire fighters were out testing their equipment, and they let T climb around the trucks in his very own helmet! Sometimes our best shots are completely unplanned. We are so glad we decided to head their way!

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!!
