There’s something special about having extended family together—and Jack’s surprise 70th birthday celebration was the perfect reason to gather everyone in one place! His daughter, Samantha, reached out to me because they were planning a surprise party for her dad’s birthday in Durham, NC, and she wanted to take advantage of the occasion to capture updated family photos while everyone was together. With family and friends gathered from all over to celebrate such an important milestone, it was a wonderful opportunity to document this precious moment in time! I truly had SO much fun capturing this special occasion, and it was clear how loved Jack was by his family and friends. Scroll down to see more of my favorite moments from this wonderful birthday celebration!

I had a ton of fun capturing E’s 6-month milestone session at the gorgeous Bond Park in Cary, NC! It was extra special to have this family’s au pair join us for the shoot as she will be heading back home in the fall. The kids absolutely LOVE her, and it was so sweet to be able to document a few shots of her and the children! We captured some beautiful shots near the trails by the boathouse, and then made our way to the big field. Baby E had the cutest smiles and was also sitting up, which was super special to capture! We then ended the shoot playing and running around, and the sunset was absolutely stunning. Scroll down to see my favorite moments below!

I had such a wonderful time seeing the A family again for their spring family photos at Apex Nature Park! We met on a beautiful morning and temperature was fortunately not too hot or humid yet.

Their kiddos were absolutely adorable, and it was sweet to see how much their daughter had grown since our last session (she was walking this year!). One of my favorite moments happened as we walked toward the playground and soccer fields. Their son was pretending to shoot webs like his favorite superhero, Spider-Man, and it was both hilarious and adorable to watch. He also loved holding his parents' hands and swinging between them, and the joy on his face was priceless!

We wrapped up the session with some time at the playground, which was the perfect way to end a fun our morning session together. Scroll down to see some of my favorite moments from this sweet family session at Apex Nature Park!
