OH…MY…GOODNESS!!!! The hair! The stunning RED hair, and those eyes!!! Miss Juliette was such an AMAZING model yesterday! Can you believe that this was actually not a Senior Portrait session? Juliette is actually one of the beautiful young ladies that I mentioned in my previous post that will be modeling the Quinceañera dress this week. Here are just a few images from our urban session in Downtown Mooresville. What a FUN FUN FUN shoot! I will be posting her sister pics soon too so be sure to stop by the blog again soon to see hers too!

Lake Norman Family Photographer - Generational Portraits in Huntersville

I recently had the absolute pleasure of meeting a new Family.  They were sent to me by one of my sweet existing clients who I just adore.  We planned to meet a couple days after Christmas while most of them were visiting from California.  Mom explained to me that it would be a pretty big deal as it would be the 1st extended session since the three youngest cousins were born.  One anticipates quite a challenge with Four little ones under the age of 5 including a 6 week old newborn but they were just as sweet as can be.  Thank you Christie for sending this wonderful crew my way!  I loved working with them very much!

Sherrills Ford Child Photographer - At the Lake

We are super excited that we have Family visiting us here in N.C. to celebrate the New Year.  Well technically not family by blood, but friends that are so close to our hearts that the word friend just isn'y enough.  Yesterday I snapped over 1100 images.  With 7 new willing good looking models how could I not.  My 1st little subject yesterday was Miss Bailey.  She was the best little model as she posed and pranced around on the dock.  Here are just a few favorites.  Be sure to check back for soooooo many more from our visit including Quinceañera pictures with not just one but two very stunning models that we hope to take this week when the weather decides to cooperate!!!

Advice for Parents and Grandparents from a Lake Norman Photographer

PSA of the Day….  GET IN THE PICTURES WITH YOUR CHILDREN!

You will only regret the times that you did not.
Your little ones do not care if your having a good hair day or if your nails are perfectly manicured.
They do not care if you have reached your target weight or if you have wrinkles.
I guarantee that you will be so glad that you did and so will your children and grandchildren!
