Family Picnic | Cary, NC Family Photographer

Posted on July 30, 2010

When my friends Amanda and Steve asked if we could do a family session at Walnut Street Park in Cary, I couldn’t have been more thrilled! We planned for some playtime on the playground and a picnic in the park. The girls were an absolute dream and had such a great time playing in the park with their mommy and daddy. Who knew an orange could be so much fun!!!

Jump!! – Raleigh, NC Family Photographer

Posted on January 16, 2010

I was so honored to have the opportunity to photograph the Allen family last weekend. I’ve known Gary for some time now and after speaking to Susan several times, I couldn’t wait to meet her and the rest of their family in person. We had casually discussed taking family pictures last fall, but due to conflicting schedules and the birth of my daughter in November, it didn’t quite work out. Right after the new year, Susan called me to see if I could squeeze them in fairly quickly for a family session because she was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer and was starting chemo. We scheduled their session for that following weekend and lucked out with a beautiful weekend. I’m in awe of her spirit as she embraces this fight – she is upbeat and strong and I know she will beat it!

We met up at the J. C. Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh last weekend and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. After an unseasonably cold few weeks, it was nice to get outside and enjoy a beautiful 60 degree day in NC.

I have to say, some of my favorite pics from this session are the jumping pics. The kids had a blast taking “action” shots! It really felt like we were having a “big air” competition!!

Dad’s favorite word of the day: “cheese!!!”
