Little Annabelle

Beautiful Annabelle in a beautiful rose garden. With mom, dad, and doggy Sasha, of course. I'll keep the chit chat limited, as we think these photos speak for themselves!

I usually save my favorite for last, but we're poppin' it right up at the top on this one! Love those little bubbles. :)

"the lookback"

the silly pose :)

Sasha's turn to hang her tongue out :)

the "i see you, paparazzi!" look :)

what a gorgeous sunny evening!

Annabelle was hamming it up, and we were definitely encouraging her! :)

Love a bit of girly pink and giggles!

We'll be in touch with your full gallery very soon! Thank you all for joining us and bearing the heat!

The Pollards

Hooray for cuties and lots of color! We met in Raleigh and grabbed some shots around the City Market area on a Sunday afternoon. We'd planned to get some cool ice cream shots, but didn't realize how many places would be closed on a Sunday evening! Thank goodness, our roaming search took us to some pretty cool spots.

*A couple more shots from this session can be found in our previous "before and after" post.

She was a tad unsure of us, until I let her see this shot in the camera after it was taken. She then quickly warmed up to us, and she and her brother had us taking photos of squirrels and various other things. :) So much fun!

Cute :)

Love the color here, check out those gorgeous blues!

I forget what we were discussing here, but I love this look :)

Aaahahahahaaaaa! I'm in charge, now!!

My love for green and blue is undying...such a lovely combo.

As well as blue and white...and a touch of pink :)

Oh yes, we found ice cream!

Love the crosswalk family shot. :)

More coming within the next week or so. :) Thank you guys for meeting us, we had a blast!

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! :)

Sunny Saturday Smiles

I say this all the time, but we have the most gorgeous clients! We spent our Saturday evening with these beautiful people, taking a few shots first at Porters Neck Country Club, then heading to Figure Eight Island for some beach photos. There was a wedding at Porters Neck, so we had to watch where we shot. The light on the golf course was incredible, so we were happy to stay there! We love the lovey-huggy shots we got there, and the fun shots we got on the beach after!

Cute little Eli...love his fingers around his mommy's :)

Sweet shots galore!

These warm my heart, all of them :)

Okay, a couple more and I'll stop :)

Had to add a b&w version :)

My goodness, what yummy golden light here! Eli was searching for golf balls the whole time we were here...I believe his find totaled at six and a half. :)

Just before heading out on the boat

Love this look :)

Let me tell you...I LOVE this shot! The perfect representation of a fun, windy day at the beach.

What a beautiful day...

What little one doesn't love to splash in the water? :)

Eli and his adorable cousin Kaylie. More of her and her family in our next post. ;)

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!
