The Izzo family is relatively new to NC and we bravely ventured to Chapel Hill on an afternoon of a football game for a holiday mini session. No tough parallel parking or mud or construction could stop this intrepid family! It was a beautiful seasonal day - colorful and cool - but the Izzos just exuded warmth the whole time. From hugging and smiling to cheering on their little one as he warmed up to the camera, this family casts a glow everywhere they go!
Read MoreWhat do you say when someone says they'd like some family and maternity photos with their husband, dogs, and mother? Oh yes! I loved the idea of including the furry family members in this session and there's something so special about capturing generations in one photo. I personally treasure the generational photos of my family from when I was a baby, and I loved Sam's eagerness to include her mom who was in town from Colorado. Congratulations Sam and Todd, and baby Zurlinden, you've got one awesome family waiting for you!
Read MoreSometimes little newborns absolutely do not want to nap during their session. I can't blame them; if I were just a few days old I'd be eager to see and soak in every bit of the world that I could! But even if she wasn't too thrilled about the napping bit, little Paige was a joy to work with. From her Wonder Woman pose with her arms curled and flexed to her captivating eyes to her incredible finger grip that stayed clenched even in sleep (as a rock climber I'm pretty jealous of that finger strength!), she was such a fun baby! And even if she needed a minute to be soothed, her four-legged family members were eager to steal the show. Welcome, Paige Burns! We're so excited to see you flex those muscles and take on the world.

Read MoreThis little ray of sunshine has been a charm to photograph from her newborn session to her six month session and now she's celebrating her first birthday with a beautiful cake smash! Her mom had this great idea for a vintage party theme for the photos, and once we started shooting it wasn't long before Stella's older brother wanted in on some of the cake smash action! (Too cute!) I am so very excited to share the images with you all now! Happy birthday, Stella!
Read MoreThe other day I posted photos from a recent 6 month old baby milestone session. What a fun session! I loved it so much, but I keep coming back to a few photos that I didn't share in the original post. These images didn't make the final cut but they just make me so happy with all their goofy outtakes. This is by far my best blooper reel yet, and I wanted to share with you some of the fun. Note these aren't final polished photos, but enjoy the spirit of the blooper photos! (PS Be sure to read the captions for each photo!)
