A Cheerful One Year Milestone | Durham Lifestyle Family Photographer

I had a blast working with the K family again! This time they wanted to capture and celebrate their second daughter’s one-year milestone at home! We started off with some snacks since the girls were hungry, and I absolutely LOVED how their baby girl devoured her strawberry and happily drank her milk. We also did story time upstairs in their house, but that lasted for a few minutes as the girls were more interested in climbing and jumping :) We decided to head outside and the girls were SO excited—they didn’t even stop to put their shoes on! We then took a short walk around their neighborhood, and it was so sweet to capture the silliness and love of their family. Scroll down to see more hilarious and precious moments from this beautiful lifestyle family session!

A Winter Engagement Session at Historic Yates Mill Park | Raleigh Engagement Photographer

I had the honor of working with Emily and Justin recently for their engagement photos! They are such a sweet couple, and I thought it was awesome that they’re both dentists. I captured this special season of life for them at the beautiful Historic Yates Mill Pond Park in Raleigh. It was a SUPER windy and chilly day, but that didn’t stop us from having fun and capturing gorgeous photos!

We started off by doing photos at the iconic waterfall and mill. Because it was so windy, I had to pose them strategically so E’s hair wouldn’t fly over her face. I positioned them in a way that would help us work with the wind, versus against the wind (i.e., I had Emily facing towards the wind, and I placed their heads together to “hold” her hair down).

We then captured some photos by the awesome rustic log building. Not only did it help block the wind, but the sun was setting SO perfectly behind them! I also wanted to incorporate some symmetry and sun flares in the shots—and boy, I was thrilled with the results! We then ended the session capturing some beautiful candid shots of them in a small grassy field. See more stunning photos from this wonderful engagement session below!

A Fun Outdoor Family Session in February | Raleigh Family Photographer

What a joy it was to work with the P family again! Seeing their family grow throughout the years has been an honor, and we had SO much fun doing photos at Umstead Park in Raleigh. I loved how their girls took off running and exploring when they arrived! They were SO cheerful and full of energy and smiles :) I also enjoyed photographing their playfulness and love as a family—we tossed leaves in the air and had an awesome time laughing together! As the session ended, their youngest daughter found a stick and started walking with it. I saw the sun was beautifully setting behind her and gave a gorgeous backlight! I quickly captured the moment and thought it perfectly captured her adventurous spirit :) Enjoy scrolling through some of my favorite moments below!
