I had so much fun taking photos for the Boros family this past fall at Umstead Park in Raleigh! Stefanie and I had a great connection during the initial consultation. I remember her telling me that they were looking for a photographer who can capture candid moments, and boy, we sure had a lot of candid and FUN moments during this shoot!

One of the most memorable things from this shoot was that we found a TOAD during our session. It was so endearing to see how excited everyone was and how the boys’ faces lit up! Capturing the youngest one giggling while holding the toad was priceless! I also learned that this family was an animal-loving family, and it was so evident when they gently handled the toad :) We ended the shoot by the lake, and the sun was setting so beautifully. I think another one of my favorite moments towards the end was when I was capturing a portrait of all of them hugging and embracing one another. It was a brief moment, but truly a tender and beautiful moment that I know will be cherished forever!

Enjoy some of my favorite photos below and getting to know this wonderful family!

It was an incredible honor taking photos for the Cacchio family on their BEAUTIFUL farm in Rougemont, NC! I remember when I arrived, I felt like I stepped into a dream. The sunset light was perfect, and we had a ton of space for pretty backdrops!

There were so many sweet and fun moments from the shoot. One of the things that stood out to me was how friendly this family was including the animals on their farm! When I was capturing the family interacting together, their dog, Boots, would automatically follow along and I thought it was so natural and sweet! I loved it when he also started licking Megan’s face when I was in the middle of taking their photos, and her expression and laugh was priceless!

I also loved how sweet and friendly their oldest daughter was, and her mom told me that her teachers call her a “bottle of sunshine,” and I could totally see that! They also had a six month old daughter, and she was SO easy going and laid back during the shoot! In addition, I learned that both the mom and her older daughter enjoy riding horses, and I had an opportunity to capture their four month old foal (he’s the brown horse in the photos below!). The sweetest moment was when he gave Megan a kiss! :)

I had the honor of capturing maternity photos for Amanda and Jonathan recently at the American Tobacco Campus! I loved how they opted to go for a casual and relaxing look, and they were SO easy going and fun to work with! One of the tips I send clients before a maternity shoot is to consider what you normally wear and what style best represents you! If gauzy gowns and flower crowns are not your thing, that is TOTALLY ok. If you like to keep things casual and simple (like jeans and a cozy sweater), I encourage you to go for that style!

During the shoot, we had so much fun walking around the ATC and catching up (they were formerly neighbors of mine!). Amanda and Jonathan were so natural in front of the camera, and their joy was so evident! Enjoy some of my favorite highlights below, and I can’t wait to capture their newborn session in just a few months!
