It is always refreshing when a bride is excited to try fun things for her bridal portrait. Elizabeth was such a great model for us. Her outfit was filled with beautiful details like her blue shoes. We love a fun pair of shoes for our brides. She also wore a flower with some feather accents in her hair with her veil. It made for such a gorgeous combination. She really knows how to pick the perfect details.

Portrait ~ Jenny

posted by Lisa | filed under: portraits

My cousin Jenny came to visit from California this summer. This was her first visit to North Carolina and we had to take photos on the beach! She loved the warm ocean water- where we come from, you have to wear a wet suit in the ocean. It is so cold, your feet are numb after only a few minutes! She is starting her sophomore year of high school. Her visit was a lot of fun!

My own family photos!

posted by Lisa | filed under: Childrens Portraits, Fun, portraits

On the very rare occasion that my entire family is together, it is a must that we have a family portrait. The last time we were all together was 2 1/2 years ago at my brother's wedding. As you can see by all of the baby photos, we basically took photos the entire time they were here! Too many kodak moments- and I couldn't miss one! My assistant Jill agreed to take our photos at Wrightsville Beach. What a perfect evening for photos. I love the beautiful sky and light on the ocean!

This one is our favorite!

My Brother Scott, his wife Emma Jane and Baby ElvisAnn

My sister Christy, her husband Kent and Ian. If you look close she had a mini baby 'bump'. My next baby model will be born this December. Ian will be a big brother! She is having another boy!

Ian and Grandpa!

ElvisAnn's first time at the beach.

Love the toes!

Trip to Kure Beach

We also went to Kure Beach with the family. Baby ElvisAnn looked so cute in her little sun hat! It was cool taking these photos of everyone playing on the beach. The sky was an amazing blue color. My favorites are of my brother holding and playing with ElvisAnn. It was such a great experience watching my brother be a new dad. He just adores ElivsAnn!

Portrait ~ ElvisAnn Plays Dress Up!

posted by Lisa | filed under: Childrens Portraits, Fun, baby portraits, portraits

Little ElvisAnn played dress up with me. She is the perfect age- 7 months- just sitting up and not trying to crawl yet. What a cute little cupcake baby! I have been creating a collection of cute dresses and props for photos in the recent months. All of these items are available for your little ones to model for portraits!

Engagement ~ Katie and Albie

posted by Lisa | filed under: Engagement, portraits, weddings

Two words to describe Katie- perky and fun! Albie- easy going, genuinely nice and totally head over heals for Katie! You can tell by the way he looks at her in these photos! We had lots of fun taking their photos on the NC State campus. They both went to school there and Katie works as a recruiter for the football team- so NC State holds a lot of meaning for them as a couple. They also brought along their cute dog Finley for a 'whole family' portrait. Isn't he cute- I couldn't resist taking a few individual portraits just of him!

Portrait ~ Laura and Jeremy

posted by Lisa | filed under: Fun, portraits

Laura and Jeremy celebrated their 1st Wedding Anniversary by taking photos on Carolina Beach. They spent the weekend at Jeremy's family beach house. This beach house is actually the place where they first met! Laura came over to the house with some friends and met Jeremy. The first night that they met, they spent hours talking out on this deck with the beach as their backdrop. We had a lot of fun taking photos. Happy first anniversary Laura and Jeremy!

Engagement ~ Sarah and Mike

posted by Lisa | filed under: Engagement, portraits

Loved taking photos with Sarah and Mike at the Yates Mill Pond in Raleigh last week! Aren't they cute together! Sarah and Mike are creating a Jone's Book Engagement Guest Book for their wedding. The square images are their choices for the interior pages of the book. The book will have one page in full color and the page next to it will be the same image, but just transparent- so guests can sign the page. The books are gorgeous! They are hand made- so they take a little while to order- I need about 2 months in order to get them back in time.

Here's a few more of my favorites!
