Snowtogrophy - Fun in the Snow with Ellie and Sammi

Today was our 6th Snow Day but today was the 1st day that we actually had some snow to play in. the girls were so excited!  Don't worry we quickly snapped these snow pics and then ditched the jeans in exchange for jackets and some nice warm snow pants to sled, have a snow ball fight and build a snow castle!  :)

Valentines Day Cards - Sweet Little Valentines

Awhile back I posted some images from our Vintage Valentine Session. (You can see them here and here)  but I just realized I never posted the finished Valentine Cards.  They were a huge hit at school!  :)

and just for fun...  Here are my sweet Valentines through the past few years....

Ballerina - Themed Portraits in Davidson NC

Just a couple more months and it will be Dance Picture time for DancinKids in Cornelius!  This will be my 4th year as their Dance Photographer and I am so excited!

My youngest is doing her 6th Birthday Party (Princess Ballerina Theme of course) at DancinKids next month so I had to get a cute shot for her invites.  Isn't she sweet?  Love this sweet baby!  She is growing up so fast!!

Vintage Valentine - Black and White Old school House Portraits

Two of my favorite little subjects are my own sweet princesses.  Here are just a few more images that I just edited and adore form our recent mini session for their Valentines day cards.  I had some fun adding a vintage feel to them.  I could not resist sharing.  :)

Snow Photo Shoots in Lake Norman - Child and Family Photographer

Snow in NC (in our area of NC anyway) is a rare but beautiful thing. 
Photo shoots in the snow are AWESOME! 
Let me know if you want me to try to be "on call" for a "snow session" 
As long as the roads are safe enough we can make it happen!!!

1st Birthday Portraits - One Year old Charlotte

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting sweet baby Charlotte who just turned ONE year old.  She was just as cute as cute can be and so much fun to photograph.  As you can see, the camera loved her!  Our grand finale was the traditional cake smash (I love cake smashes!)...  Miss Charlotte, who was starting to be over the whole picture thing turned a whole new leaf when her cake came out.  She started off daintily picking at the frosting gently but soon got completely into the SMASH part.  I think she may be the best cake smash model ever!  Thank you beautiful Charlotte, and thank you T Family for choosing me to capture these very special milestone moments of your family and your baby girl.  I can not wait until next time!!!!!  Also thank you B family for sending them my way! I look forward to seeing you again soon also!!!

Valentines Day Portraits - Lake Norman North Carolina Child Photographer

The girls were SO cooperative today for our mini shoot to make their school valentines.  I could not be more proud!  I am thinking that the one of the two of them together will have to be printed as a wall portrait!  I just love it!  Thanks my baby girls!!!!
