Becoming an AUNT, getting her ears pierced, playing soccer for the first time, taking sewing and art classes, beginning her first year as a summer missionary with CEF (Child Evangelism Fellowship), and growing up way too fast! It's been a full year for my sister!

Meet the Kline family!
I have known Kaylea and her family for over 17 years! Her family started attending the same church in 1999, and we became great friends with her family. I have hundreds of great memories growing up with them in South Western Missouri! Some of my favorites were our camping trips and patriotic events. And of course, all the caroling we did in little towns, Christmas parties, and so many other memories to be thankful for!
We were so happy to capture their little family on a beautiful late, fall day.
Dan, thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your courage to defend this great country.

Jon actually took all of these photos in a mini session while I was performing music for a wedding! I loved going through all of the photos and editing them! I think you'll enjoy seeing these cuties and the beautiful fall colors as well!

Meet the Cramond family!
David, Cindy, and Aly were such fun. These three are a blast to be around, and watching their interaction was something special. Aly is a student at UNCC [yay 49ers!] and commutes to class just like I did. It was fun catching up on UNCC topics and getting to know the family better.
As you'll see from the photos, they have a closeness that you don't see too often these days. It was truly a pleasure to capture their family! Enjoy!

It's that time of year again! Updating your family photos on a yearly basis is such a fun tradition as your young children are growing up. We have been taking the Smith's family photos for a few years now, and we love catching up with them and seeing their beautiful girls grow up and develop big personalities. :)
Read MoreCharlotte, NC, Newborn Photographer // Baby Grayson
Watching your friends start a family is so exciting and absolutely beautiful! Christa and Justin attend our church in Weddington [Graceway Baptist Church], and Justin is on staff. Christa, you were a radiant pregnant lady, but you are a more beautiful Mommy. We loved taking photos of baby Grayson and getting to be a part of his first week of life. God is amazing!
Read MoreMountainside Lake James Family Session // Gurley Family
It's finally Fall, and we couldn't be more excited! We kicked October 1st off with one of the sweetest family sessions to date! Their mountain vacation home is nestled in a wooded lot on the beautiful Lake James in Morganton, NC. A photoshoot in the mountains definitely calls for some hiking! They recommended some awesome hiking trails which we enjoyed before heading over to their home.
Enjoy these sweet photos! And we think you'll especially enjoy meeting their adorable 1.5 year old Labradoodle, Honey Bee [or HB for short :)].

The Smith family are one of my favorites to photograph! Their enthusiasm, joy, and energy is contagious. We had a lovely afternoon for a session, near Waxhaw, NC. I love doing multiple photoshoots for the same family, getting to see the kids grow up and being able to capture that is just another reason why I love being a photographer. Try and not smile while you take a look at some of my top pics from their shoot.

A beautiful day to do a session for the Hart family! They were a joy, and fun to capture! Little Jacob was a trooper, and got excited when he saw the plane fly over (see photo!) It's always neat to meet a fellow opera singer (I'm not really, but Josh is!), Rachel is wonderful violinist too, they both serve in music ministry at First Baptist Church in Matthews, NC.
Thank you for the wonderful shoot, Hart Family!
