Henderson 2017 Holiday Photos Mini Session
“Pull your brother close and give him a big hug like you like him!” I exclaimed in the middle of this session. Usually that gets a laugh out of teenagers as they groan and roll their eyes at being so cozy with their sibling, but these two just looked up at me and said, “But we do like each other! We’re best friends!” Y’all, my little Grinch heart just melted when they said that! The Hendersons are a truly tight-knit family and it was such a delight to take photos of them for their holiday cards. I hope these two kids will always always always be this close; through thick and thin may they always be thick as thieves. ❤️
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!
Welcoming a new generation to the family is a celebration - full of casseroles and happy grandparents and warm congratulations. It means cuddling on the couch and learning a whole new approach to the day as everything changes to revolve around that new tiny being that fills your life with the deepest love. And when you’re surrounded by a family as big and as loving as the Jacksons, that warmth spills over - in your smile, in your voice, in the light of your eyes. Welcome to the world, little boy, and congratulations to the Jackson family!
Confession: I’ve got about two dozen blog posts lined up that I apparently never posted! ::shock:: So here’s to catching up with some beautiful art by the one and only Maya Barton, a fantastic watercolor and oils artist from Chapel Hill!
