Dimitri & Holli are such sweethearts. I love how much they adore one another and make each other laugh. I love how easy going they are especially when it rained for the majority of their outdoor wedding. They rolled with the punches and their day was nothing short of beautiful. I am so excited for them as they begin this new journey as husband and wife. XO

Andrew & Wendy // Davidson Engagement

Andrew & Wendy were such a sweet and fun couple to photograph. Their love for one another was so apparent to me while shooting as it didn’t take much direction from me for them to cuddle up. I am so excited for them as they begin planning their wedding and life together. XO

Bess & Jeremy // Uptown Charlotte Engagement

I was really excited to finally meet these two. Bess & Jeremy had booked with us over the phone and so getting to hang out with them during their engagement session was such a treat. I love how relaxed they were together and how it didn’t take long to see how perfectly matched they are for one another. We can’t wait for their wedding this spring… it is going to be a gorgeous wedding day!

Moller Family Portraits // Ontario, Canada

admin — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:13:02 +0000

I love this sweet and GROWING family. Mostly because they are part of my extended family and dear to my heart! The Moller family which now consists of many new last names than it did five years ago started with my Aunt Cindy, Uncle Gord, and three beautiful cousins (Kara, Andrea, & Laura). Growing up my two sisters and I always loved getting to spend the holidays and summer vacations visiting with our three girl cousins who were similar in age as us. These girls have each now become the best mommies to the sweetest little ones. In just a matter of 2 years, Cindy and Gord became the grandparents of 4 grandkids! And well… TWO more babies are on the way now that Kara and Laura are expecting again. It’s been so fun watching each of them get married and now become such loving mothers. Enjoy this sneak peek of our session! xoxo

Dear Jane // Hamilton, Ontario Canada

This had to have been the world’s shortest photo “shoot” but I am so happy my teenage cousins agreed to it. This past week I went back to Canada to visit and care after my grandparents but most importantly was able to give my aunt and uncle a break from the constant support they are to my grandparents. My aunt Jane and uncle Peter are some of the most selfless and giving servants you will ever meet. They have sacrificed so much to care for my precious grandparents. With my Dzia Dzia’s (that means grandpa in polish) declining health due to Parkinson’s disease he is now needing constant care thru the night. Jane (their daughter in-law) now sleeps over at their house and ensures that they take their meds on time and that proper care is given to them. I couldn’t think of better hands for my sweet grandparents to be in. My Babcia and Dzia Dzia literally mean the world to me and although it is sad to see them grow old and ill, I am so comforted knowing that Jane and Peter are with them.

Jane really wanted her oldest son to get some Senior photos taken and although he refused, I used my persuasive older cousin powers and insisted it would be a painless event and a nice surprise for his mom. I even got his younger brother and adorable family dog to participate. I really hope you love these few but meaningful photos, Jane! You really have such a beautiful family.

How sweet are these two? I was so excited when their Momma had asked me to capture some newborn shots of baby girl Cameron and her big brother Carter. He is already so loving towards the new addition to the family. Here is a little sneak peek of some of these precious moments! Enjoy!

I just loved getting to know The Bridges Family during their photo session this past Spring. It was so sweet to watch how they adored their baby boy (who is growing up so quickly!). I love easy-going families that just simply love spending the day together. Here are a few of my favorite’s from their session:
