Miss Em - High School Senior Photographer, Newton, NC

Sneezing, watery eyes, box of tissue in hand .... you'd never know by looking at these pics that Miss Em is suffering from a cold. She looks gorgeous!!! She squeezed herself in amoungst the flowers and sneezy plants without a complaint. What a trooper!

I sympathize with her as I've been ill for the past few days myself, but with something completely different. But, hey, the show must go on!! Senior pictures must get done! And I'm so glad we went today. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful. The backgrounds were spectacular - even though we got run out of the first location we went to! lol

I'm exhausted ... one of the pitfalls of the particular bug I have, but wanted to get a couple pics up for Miss Em today. I absolutely love, love, love these two. Look at those beautiful brown eyes. So pretty. Feel better soon, Em. More sneak peeks in a day or two.

Two - Children's Portrait Photographer, Newton, NC

Little Miss C. Isn't she a cutie? This is the 4th time I've taken her pictures, but the first time since she turned two! I was so excited to see her, but I'm not sure she felt the same about me. lol She really didn't want to have anything to do with me, but my feelings weren't hurt. Afterall, I'm the mom of three myself and I remember what it was like when THEY were two.

We spent an hour and a half trying to cajole a smile out of Miss C ... we did everything but stand on our heads! I did manage to catch a few cute shots and even one or two of her actually looking at me! Hot-diggity-dog!!!

Don't worry "G". I think I managed to catch quite a few really good shots! Will have more to show you soon.

How Bout a Little Attitude - Newton, NC Family Portrait Photographer

at-ti-tude -(noun): position or posture of the body appropriate to or expressive of an action, emotion, etc.

How bout this attitude? :) And may I just say that this old knarled beauty (no, not you Mr. C (wink, wink) ... well it just melts my heart. Those of you know me, know that I absolutely, positively ♥♥♥ things like this. Just look at how gorgeous this old tree is in this photo! Such character and texture. Now imagine the same photo minus the tree. yaaaaaaawn..... :) Course, the humans aren't bad either. ♥ you guys!

For Mrs. C - Newton, NC Family Portrait Photographer

Sometimes you just know when a picture is going to be perfect before you ever click the shutter. Momma C knew it. She exclaimed "There! That's her! That's "Baby C"

I love it when I can capture the real personality, the real essence of someone. Momma C, I hope I captured through my lens what you were seeing with your eyes. :)
Look at that beautiful sweet face. It so reminds me of the sweet little face of the 2 year old I met 10 years ago. ♥

Sneak Peeks for the C Family - Newton, NC Family Portrait Photographer

I have known this family since we moved to North Carolina 10 years ago. As a matter of fact, Mr. C was the very first person I met. He took us on little tours around the town when we came up here house hunting on weekends. Young Miss C was only 2 at the time! She was the cutest little thing you ever did see. Itty bitty, with Shirley Temple ringlets and a great big voice. Look at her now. What a beautiful young lady she has become.

I had such a good time with them last night, despite Mr. C grumbling about having to miss his football game. :) These are some of my all time favorite photos. I have so many favorites I couldn't choose, so there's quite a few sneak peeks!

Mr. & Mrs. C trying to be romantic. ;}



I spotted this old log on the other side of their pond and wanted to use it in our photos. To get there we had to hike through the goat pen and across a little creek with a board over it, and through weeds that Mr. C assured me had no poison in them .... what I'll do for the perfect shot. I think it was definitely worth it!




What can I say. She's just naturally gorgeous!



These next three are just WOW for me. I absolutely love them. Beautiful♥

Hey Peeps!!!

Yes, I'm still alive. This has been a strange week. So much outside activity. Not so much computer time. I just wanted to reassure everyone that I'm still alive and kickin'. Now if I could just make this rain go away. I'm afraid tomorrow's session at the lake is going to be a washout. I'm praying that Sunday's family session will be a go! AND that the weather will be a might cooler. Can you say SUMMER?? Ack! Hate the humidity!

I promise (cross my heart) to have some new pics up early next week. Pinky swear. :)

Have a great weekend!
