Relaxing with L and her Mama! A Durham Family Session

This five-year-old and her mama have such a special connection. They really crack each other up, and it was so sweet to spend some evening time with them in one of my favorite downtown Durham spots!

Tiny Faces, Spring '16 Round Two

I'm expanding my preschool "school photo" empire, and it's always the highlight of my week.  Best (and very common) answer I get to the question, "Who do you think might want to have a super awesome picture of your face?": "ME". Yes, tiny royalty. Yes.

Spring Shennanigans with the F Family: A Downtown Durham, NC Family Session

I really dig so much how to the siblings in the F family aren't afraid to lean into one another. We spent a relaxed hour puttering around Orange Street in downtown Durham, admiring some skateboarders, and feeling bummed that Scratch Bakery was closed for the day. This family's sense of play and ease comes through in every photo here, just as it does in person.

Olivia, Crushing It: A Chapel Hill, NC Graduation Mini Session

I'm so excited about what this lady is going to be up to post college. She's kind, lovely, and is off to get a graduate degree in an amazing helping profession. I loved taking some photos to help her celebrate her graduation, and this transition into an even more exciting phase of life.

Hello, W: A Durham, NC Newborn Session

W was so into spending an hour just snuggling with his folks-- snoozing, snacking, and chatting. I really love doing "newborn" sessions when the baby is about six weeks old, because everything seems to be coming into focus by then: tiny person is noticing the world around them, parents are learning more about who this tiny person is, and everyone is a little more relaxed into some kind (temporary) routine. It was really awesome just to capture W in his kingdom, with his loyal subjects, doing all his best stuff.

Ready for Baby E in the Cherry Blossoms: A Washington DC Maternity Session

We caught the last burst of cherry blossoms for these sweeties, but they mostly just wanted to stare at each other. Each of them is so sweet and sincere, and they were thrilled to become parents together. What a lucky little guy is E!
