I had the wonderful opportunity to document photos of the Carvalho family, and we took photos bright and early at 7:15am! During the summers, I often recommend to families to take photos in the morning. As most of you know, the summers here in North Carolina can get VERY hot and humid, and morning sessions offer a more comfortable experience! It’s cooler and less sticky, which means you’ll look less sweaty in photos and kids are usually happier!

We had SO much fun taking photos at one of their favorite parks, Johnston Mill Nature Preserve in the Chapel Hill-Durham area. It was my first time there and it was beautiful! The morning mist was so pretty and soft, and it felt so serene and peaceful. We had so much fun capturing photos of the whole family by the water, trails, and bridges. One of my favorite moments was when mom and dad were playing with baby C, and he was SO fascinated by his mom’s tongue! I quickly captured a photo of them sticking out their tongues, and it was priceless! By the end of the shoot, baby C was getting sleepy and tired, and it was adorable to see dad carrying him back :) Enjoy the highlights below!

If you know anyone expecting during this pandemic, please know I am available to conduct a safe newborn session at home. I had the honor of documenting newborn photos for Lindsay and Josh recently, and baby O was so peaceful and happy during our session. To help maintain a safe shoot, we had a contactless session and I wore a mask during the shoot. We also took photos outside their home, and it was so beautiful!

I loved how they also included their dog, Ringo, in the shoot! He is a cute schnauzer and they had to trim the fur around his eyes in preparation for the session. Even dogs need their home haircuts! :) Enjoy highlights from this beautiful newborn session below!

Babies change SO much within the first year, and it’s so important to capture their growth when they’re still little! It’s worth everything to have memories of their development because this time is so fleeting. Ilec got in touch with me to capture nine month photos of Baby S, and it was such an honor to capture this special time! Baby S was a very happy and smiley baby, and it was so endearing to see how happy she was playing with her mom, dad, and Ami the dog! There were so many playful, silly, and fun moments, and one of my favorite photos was capturing Baby S sitting on Ami—she was all smiles and absolutely loved it! Ami was also such a friendly family dog, and seeing the way they all interacted and played with each other was so fun! :) As you may know, I’m all about capturing candid and genuine moments—there’s something so beautiful about capturing the authenticity of the moment. It’s real and honest, and truly showcases your story as a family. Enjoy getting to know this wonderful family and seeing more highlights below!
