Sisters - Lake Norman Child Photographer

As the mother of two little girls I think the bond between sisters is a very special one.  The bond between family members is one of my favorite things to capture on camera.  I just finished editing the images for this sweet family and am so very excited to show them their beautiful daughters.  I just could not wait to share just a few more form our truly wonderful newborn photoshoot.

Are we dancing
are we really here
is this feeling something real
or will it disappear

are we dancing
does the music soar
was this lovely song I hear
ever heard before

Are you're eyes confessing things
I alone can see
or is my imagination
flying away with me

Are we dancing
say we really are
than I'll know that I reached into the sky
I reached into the sky and touched a star

Is this feeling something real
or will it disappear

was this lovely song I hear
ever heard before

Are you're eyes confessing things
I alone can see
or is my imagination
flying away with me

Are we dancing
say we really are
then I'll know that I reached into the sky
I reached into the sky and touched a star

Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away
Arise and seize the day

Now is the time to seize the day

Now is the time to seize the day

Send out the call and join the fray

Send out the call and join the fray

Wrongs will be righted
If we're united

Let us seize the day

Friends of the friendless, seize the day

Friends of the friendless, seize the day

Raise up the torch and light the way

Raise up the torch and light the way

Proud and defiant
We'll slay the giant
Let us seize the day

Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one

Open the gates and seize the day
Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Don't be afraid and don't delay

Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away

Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

Oh that clock!
Killjoy.
I hear you, Come on, Get up you say!.
Even he bosses me around.
Well, there's one thing.
They can't order me to stop dreaming.
And perhaps someday...

The dream that I wish
Will Come true

La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
La-da-la-da-da-da-da-da-dee
Hmm-mm-hm-mm-mm-hmm-hmm-hmm
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dee
La-da-da-da-daaa-da-da-da
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hm-hmm-hmm-hm-hmm

No Matter How Your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The Dream that you Wish
Will Come True.

In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job's a game

And ev'ry task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song will move the job along - for

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way


The honey bee that fetch the nectar
From the flowers to the comb
Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro
Because they take a little nip
From ev'ry flower that they sip
And hence (And hence),
They find (They find)
Their task is not a grind.

Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h ah!

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

Mother Daughter Dance Portraits - Lake Norman

This beautiful mama might look a little familiar.  A fews months ago I posted some images from a very special anniversary photo shoot with of her with her handsome hubby.  She is also a Dancer so when she mentioned that she would like some images of her and her daughter Mae together in their ballet costumes I was thrilled.  I just love these pics!

Baby mine, don't you cry.
Baby mine, dry your eyes.
Rest your head close to my heart,
Never to part, baby of mine.

Little one, when you play,
Pay no heed what they say.
Let your eyes sparkle and shine,
Never a tear, baby of mine.

If they knew all about you,
They'd end up loving you too.
All those same people who scold you,
What they'd give just for the right to hold you.

From your head down to your toes,
You're not much, goodness knows.
But, you're so precious to me,
Sweet as can be, baby of mine.

There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too


Then one night, as I closed my eyes,
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for awhile
He said, "Peter Pan. That's what they call me.
I promise that you'll never be lonely."
And ever since that day...


I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy, " they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."


Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free


He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe
Believe in him and believe in me
Together we will fly away in a cloud of green
To your beautiful destiny
As we soared above the town that never loved me
I realized I finally had a family
Soon enough we reached Neverland
Peacefully my feet hit the sand
And ever since that day...


I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy, " they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."


Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free


Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy Darling,
Even Captain Hook.
You are my perfect story book
Neverland, I love you so,
You are now my home sweet home
Forever a lost boy at last


And for always I will say...


I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy, " they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."


Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
Like dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and pulls you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and pulls you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
