Susan and I have been friends since college. We’ve had a lot of fun times together pre-marriage and babies and are now enjoying motherhood together. She’s surpassing me with the baby numbers, though, because she has two beautiful children already but is pregnant again…. with triplets. Triplet girls, at that. *faint*
I am super excited to showcase Susan’s maternity photos with the world. She’s currently 27 weeks pregnant and looks amazing! I cannot wait to get my hands on those tiny girls for newborn portraits. Be on the lookout later this fall!
Without further adieu, the W family’s sneak peek!
Doesn’t she look FABULOUS?!
Big sister and brother, L & L!

Mr. O is one of my Baby Planners and I always look forward to his sessions because he changes so much from month to month. I also love to see the true love that his parents have for him. Parents that are totally smitten by their children always make me smile! We had a blast with O on this early morning session. The weather was a tad cooler than it’s been lately so that was a relief. Mr. O was a trooper and I even got to meet his little cow that sings songs and makes him so happy! Enjoy your Sneak Peek and I look forward to the next session!

Last night, we packed up the family and headed to Lake Benson in Garner, NC. We got the stroller and the blankets ready, as well as my camera and tripod (which is on it’s last leg…). We let Mia play on the bounce houses and the many games they had available for children. She had a blast playing on the covered playground as well. After wearing her out, we picked the perfect spot for our blanket and watched the North Carolina Symphony play beautiful patriotic songs while Mia danced and sang to the music. Elaina enjoyed slobbering all over the beaded necklaces we had purchased. 
After sunset, we watched the beautiful fireworks while listening to music. It’s amazing being surrounded by 20,000 people and listening to the distant BOOMs. The fireworks didn’t disappoint. When people say Garner has the best fireworks around, they aren’t kidding! I had set up my tripod on our blanket and captured a few shots to share. Try dodging a crawling infant and a hyped up 3 year old to keep your tripod (that again, is hanging on by a thread) steady and you’ve got a miracle. Here’s the final product!
Happy July 4th and Happy Birthday, America! Thank you to all that have served to keep our wonderful country free!

Yesterday, I was brave (*really brave*) and endured the massive heat wave to take some beautiful shots for Parker’s Landscape Services in Apex. They specialize in Commercial and Residential properties and have some really beautiful properties! Once I wiped the drool off my chin and resisted the urge to jump into the crystal clear pools in all the lush backyards, I was able to capture magazine worthy photos like this one.

5. Fresh produce

After rescheduling a shoot due to winds, I finally had the chance to meet up with the M Family for Addy’s 1 Year Portraits. What fun we had! Addy is one of the happiest 1 year olds I’ve ever met. She was incredibly smiley the entire time and would just clap and smile. What a joy she is! B and K are lucky parents.
Despite the hot weather, we were able to capture so many good shots. It was hard to choose which ones to showcase on my blogsite.
I hope you enjoy your Sneak Peek!

My parents came up to Raleigh and spent the day with us. Well, year-round schools had a Saturday snow make up day today so I spent the afternoon with them. We ate a nice lunch together, and then Mom and I took Mia with us shopping. I was in search of something to wear to an upcoming wedding. I was also supposed to have an afternoon photoshoot but the wind was a little too strong for pictures late afternoon. We had to reschedule those for later in the week but the good news was I got to eat supper with my parents before they headed back home.
While Elaina was napping, we had a small impromptu shoot in the front yard. My parents moved into a new house on Christmas Eve 2009 and my mom is determined to get some photos of her family, especially granddaughters, up on the wall. Elaina’s pictures will have to come later since she snoozed right through it.
In honor of Mother’s Day tomorrow, I thought I’d post a few photos of those that I love.
My mother and my firstborn that made me a mother. These two are two peas in a pod. It’s scary.
Now, for my wonderful and supportive husband and Mia.
I hope to snap a few of Elaina tomorrow after church. I’ll report back because it wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without both of my girls!
