Meet the Rondash Family!

Yay! I was so excited for this session! Even though it was cold and WINDY out, they did SO well!! M, their daughter, definitely knew what she did and did NOT want to do, so it took a bit of work at times, but I'm pleased with what we got. Great job guys!! And thanks for braving the weather for so long!!

Hehe, had to add this outtake. They're a pretty fun-lovin' family.

Alderman Family

I cannot tell you how excited I have been for this session!! Not only is this family amazingly gorgeous, but they are some downright awesome people as well. Fun, easygoing, and some great friends. I can't wait until we move, we'll be a few miles from them and hopefully we'll get to hang out a bit more. Anyways, I am LOVING these photos!! I had to fight back from showing you too many...gotta save some surprises for when they come in!!! But here's your sneak peek...enjoy!!

Walker Family

This family has a special place in my heart as they are very good friends of ours. They have the cutest almost-one-year old little guy who makes Sam look like a midget, and the most adorable 3 year old. They are English and their daughter has the CUTEST accent! Anyways, enjoy your sneak peek you guys! We got some GREAT shots!!

Portrait Party at the Beach!!

So we took our party to the beach this time!! The weather was beautiful, the water was fabulous and the kids were SO full of energy!! I think a great time was had by all. Sorry it took me so long to get these up here you guys, I know you've been waiting. But I had WAY too many photos to sort through and narrow down for you. Thanks to all for coming out and sorry about the parking mixup, next time I'll know better! Enjoy!

Burleson Family

This is Part I of M&C's family--they were two families who wanted to do a session the day after their kids got married. Nuts? I think so! :) Even though they'd had a million and a half photos the day before, this family ROCKED!!! I had SO much fun with you guys! I very much hope you enjoyed your stay in Wilmington and enjoy these photos documenting your time together. Now, I DO have many other posed photos, but absolutely fell in love with all of these as they're more "me" and...apparently more "you" as well by the looks of them. :)

The Nelson Family

Here's Part II of M&C's family!! I had so much fun with you guys!! And thank you for the continual feed on ideas!! You were full of places and poses and it made it so much fun to be with a family who is all about having fun and trying new ideas! Good luck to M&C and it was GREAT to meet you all, your family left a wonderful impression on my memory.

The W Family

Here's your guys' Sneak Peek! Don't worry, I got some good ones even if we were in the midst of a tropical storm. :) And I'm calling Bull on all this "I'm not photogenic" stuff. You guys are a beautiful family. I can't wait to show you the proofs soon!!

Baby Ashton

I'll be honest with ya folks--this is my second newborn, and that's COUNTING Sam! It was a bit of a struggle for all involved (it didn't help that I left my main light at home and my main lens freaked out on me), but we got some cute ones. How sweet is this little guy?! I sure hope he slept for you, Momma!!!

Awww...this makes me get all teary eyed--this is right exactly where Sam loves to snuggle with me. There's nothing like Momma's arms. :)

And I had to include my personal favorite shot of the evening. Look how alert this 6 day old is!!! I loooove the little wrinkles, soooooo cute!

5 Months!!

Happy 5 Months Samuel!!!

12/52

Sorry I'm running behind these days!! We're getting ready to close on our first home this week, I've been pretty busy with photo stuff, and Russ's mom and sister were visiting us last week. It was great having them visit, we were bummed to see them go. But we did all sorts of things!! I actually got to go swimming in the ocean for the first time since we've lived here, we went to an auction, I went to the optometrist, got to go out with Russ quite a bit and ride the motorcycle...ALL sorts of great stuff. A BIG thank you to the fam.

Here's my Mommy n' Me photo for the week (or two...), a tribute to my big man turning 5 months this week!

And my fav family/Daddy n' Me photo. Each evening we try and get out and take a walk before dinner to just relax and talk about our day. Now that it's cooling down, we look forward to it a lot more. Brooklyn was the one keeping us doing it, always asking for her evening walk. lol

My favorite Brooklyn photo of the week. We got her her first bike this past week and she loves riding!!!

My sweet, sweet boy. Awww...
