Warren Family

I had such a blast with the Warren family. Lee, Stephanie and their daughter Aubrey were so much fun to photograph. Aubrey was a riot. She was full of wonderful expressions. At times, she would just break-out in dance - no matter where we were. Aubrey brought her "lamby" (lam-ee) with her to the shoot. She clung to it for the first couple shots but then got REAL comfortable in front of the camera. I enjoyed laughing at her antics. It was obvious that Lee and Aubrey had a special bond. She loved to walk on his feet and climb on his shoulders. They laughed a lot together and really enjoy the moments they have together. Aubrey had an equally special connection with her mom. Mom was the nurturer and comforter. Aubrey loved to cuddle up with mom and give her lots of hugs and kisses. They also loved to dance together. It was so much fun capturing their individual personalities behind the lens . . . thank you Warren family for that wonderful privilege. These were just a small sampling of my many favorites. Enjoy!

Lee Family

Aimee called me and wanted a photo-shoot with her and her adorable and beautiful daughter, Ava. Aimee wanted something new and unique, a location I hadn't photographed yet. I always love a new challenge! There were several thoughts about where to do the shoot and we finally settled on a park. Aimee and Ava had a fabulous time running around and playing together. It was so much fun to watch them and so easy to fade into the background and document the great expressions and moments. It was one of the first shoots where I rarely posed my client . . . they just naturally embraced the moment and had fun together. I have a feeling they always have a great time together. As a result there were several outstanding images. I was happy with so many . . . here's a few for you to enjoy!

My favorite family shot. I just love this photo! I enjoy how they are laughing and enjoying the moment.


Also, one of my favorite family shots.


See what I mean, she's adorable! Aimee is going to be running the boys off in about 16 years.




Ava walking on the train tracks. I love those little feet.


I enjoy this one because Aimee is getting such a kick out of Ava.


There's nothing better in the world than throwing a few leaves off a bridge. I love how the light hits the leaf . . . I know, but I notice these things.


Running on the bridge! What a great moment!


Wish'n for a puddle.


Who didn't like to pick flowers?


. . . or blow dandelions. I LOVE this photo! One of my absolute favorites!


She shared her wish with mommy. (yes dad {my Dad}, I know she's out of focus . . . the flower is in focus . . . it was on purpose.)


Also a favorite family shot.


Such a sweet moment!


I loved the rolling hills and the low sunlight.


Looking at the moon.


I'm sorry but this shot is wicked good. The sunset is awesome!

House Family

Amber gave me a call after seeing the Cannon family photo-shoot. Amber was excited and wanted something totally new and rustic. She wanted something unique, places that none of my clients had been yet. She said she was willing to try some new locations for me. I LOVE that! So, me, Amber, and her family (J.B. and precious Aubrey) ventured out on the windiest day ever. Aubrey was adorable and just loved being outside. She wore these cute pink cowboy boots. Ya gotta love a girl who can wear some cowboy boots. They were all troopers as I drug them from location-to-location. But, as a result, I think these were some of the coolest family photos I have done to date . . . I had a really hard time choosing my favorites, but I found a few I wanted everyone to see. Enjoy!

The pink boots!


I love the angles in this image!


Classic Black-and-White. I LOVE the Teddy Bear!


Some time with Mommy waiting for the train.


Just hanging around. This is one of my top three images from this photo-shoot and easily in my top ten photographs ever taken. I absolutely LOVE this photograph. Aubrey kicked off her boots while she was sitting on the edge of the train station platform and it just made for a really cute photo.


I love the sky, the train station, and the sunlight . . . AND the House Family just hanging out with Aubrey's bear laying off to the side. A really cool shot.


Another really rich Black-and-White image. The Train Station just looks cool. I love how this is a moment of Amber trying to steal a kiss from Aubrey.


This is one of my favorite Family shots. J.B. and Amber enjoying the moment while Aubrey looks a bit curious.






Taking a stroll. This is one of my top three images from the photo-shoot. I just love the color of the image, the leaning fence in the background, and the facial expression Aubrey is making.


This is my favorite Family photo. It's a moment where everyone found something to be really funny and gave some great expressions. I also LOVE the background of the old run-down factory. You can't get more rustic than this in Greenville.


Just ly'n around. Easily my favorite photo from the shoot, and in my top ten photos taken. It just screams authentic and 'being a kid'. I LOVE the pink boots in the shot and the angles. Aubrey loved the bench and just thought she'd lay down for a second. It was a great moment.


This is one of my favorite Family shots. I found this really cool wall with graffiti (don't ask me what it says . . . I have no clue) on it. The House family said they were game and I think it looks wicked-cool in black-and-white.


This was a really cool Father and Daughter moment.


I found this really cool Pepsi sign and had been wanting to take some photos of a family there. Amber and J.B were up for it and I think this image came out awesome. I love the color and how the family is enjoying cute little moment together.


Amber, J.B, and Aubrey . . . thanks for being my guinea pigs on some new locations and braving the windy weather. It was fun for me . . . I hope you had fun too!

Devlin Family

The Devlin Family had seen the photos of the Keith Family and wanted something similar on the ECU campus. It's always fun to meet Pirate fans! So, we headed off to the ECU campus and spent some time around the Cupola. Students were outside studying and enjoyed watching our photo-shoot. Aidan (22 months) had the most beautiful blond hair and blue eyes. He loved motorcycles (and airplanes) and would perk up whenever he heard one (it made me aware of how many motorcycles are around . . . alot!) He is an independent little guy who liked to explore. He had fun playing with Dad's ECU helmet and sitting in the rocking chair. Aidan's 'De-De' (grandmother) came and was a big help getting some smiles out of Aidan . . . thanks 'De-De'. Brady is only 5 months old and seemed content no matter what. Near the end of our shoot we went to shoot near some barns I love and I asked Jennifer and Will if they would mind having some photos of just them. Sometimes, once you have children, you never see another photograph with just you and your spouse again. I think they are some of the best couple shots I've taken. I hope you enjoy!



"If you're happy and you know it . . ."


BRADY! You gotta love those cheeks!


A sweet family shot! Aidan noticed an airplane and Dad looked too. . . it was a cool moment.


Aidan loved to swing. Brady hung on for dear life.


Aidan liked trying to blow bubbles. . . Needless to say that there weren't many bubbles. He thought that dipping the stick in the bottle was just as much fun.


I LOVE Will's expression here! He seemed disgusted by something, but Brady seemed interested.


Aidan loved to play in the leaves!




One of my favorites, I love the color.


Strangely enough this is my favorite image from the shoot. I've been wanting to try this shot for a while. Jennifer and Will seemed like the perfect couple to try it on. Thanks for letting me try it. You'll probably see this image again on advertising.


A good look'n couple!
