life is a (back to wrightsville) beach, pt. 4

I just have to start out with my very favorite image from this shoot with The Barber Family. How ingenious is this spontaneous move? I mean, the ultimate sun protection, right? And it’s always nice to try a new look now & then… …although these are quite lovely, as well… The blue of her eyes […]

Life is a (topsail) beach, pt. 3

The Shah Family all met up at Topsail Beach for a reunion week on the beach, and I showed up to find a big, high-energy family ready to play… Brother, sister, and all the wind blowing in the right direction. This is one of those fabulous moments – simply a gift to a photographer. She […]

life is a (wrightsville) beach, pt. 2

Little Zeke was relishing his first feel of sand on his toes…and his parents were delighted by his confused and adorable reaction. I like to think of children looking at a photograph like this years later and really seeing out crazy their parents were – and hopefully still are!! – about them… The whole family […]

life is a (wrightsville) beach, pt. 1

I had a wonderful 4th of July week at Wrightsville Beach (did I mention that I’m finally catching up on the blog??!) – and it was fitting that I started my sessions with the Koehler family. I’ve had the great experience of photographing them several times throughout the years, and our very first session together […]

nicole & trey

Nicole and Trey were from opposite worlds – he from Duke and she from UNC. The longer I live in Chapel Hill, the more I get what that means!! They now live in Houston, where Nicole is in management and getting her MBA and Trey is an orthopaedic surgeon. I was so pleasantly surprised when […]

wichita, kansas

I technically returned from Wichita this morning, arriving home around 1am after a whirlwind 2 1/2 days of shooting. I had the great pleasure of photographing The Gorecki family again, as well as a few of her wonderful friends and families. I met The Goreckis through the beautiful spa they own, Healing Waters, which is […]

The Simmons Twins

Claire and Kalli came into the studio at 12 months old, and I got such a kick out of photographing them in their full twin adorableness. They were so high-energy and just plain fun, not to mention ridiculously adorable! A couple 5-series framed pieces of each girl – Kallie first… Then Claire… These two were […]

The Hogan Family

Little Nicholas has an enviable energy level and his parents get huge kudos on keeping up with him!! We all met at Duke Gardens on a gorgeous morning and took advantage of pretty much having the park to ourselves. As a tree-hugging liberal myself, I always like to see the kids start young… This is […]

the very, very first day of kindergarten, ever.

My itty, bitty baby, my very tiny infant girl, my daughter…well, she somehow …and I simply don’t know how… well, she went ahead and started her very first day of kindergarten last week. I mean, c’mon, look at that gigantic backpack! Even though we were eager to get there, she allowed her dad to take […]
