Levi Wins | Wake Forest Family Photographer

I first met this fun family when mom Jenna was pregnant with her middle son, Levi, who is now seven years old. I’ve photographed them many times over the years, but no session has meant more than this latest one.

Levi recently beat leukemia – a leukemia very similar to my own. He has had the fight of his life over the past couple of years and come out so strong on the other side. He’s been an inspiration to me!

My favorite part of this session was photographing Levi with his beads of courage. The pediatric team awards these beads for children’s bravery in facing every little stick, poke, biopsy, treatment, etc. Look at how many beads this little fighter earned! I loved that his parents wanted a shot of the whole family holding the beads as well, because it wasn’t just Levi in this fight. The whole family comes together and sacrifices until the one they love is whole again. My family and I can easily relate.

I’m so glad Levi is finished with all of his treatments and can get back to the job of being a little boy with his brothers Mason and Sawyer! Levi wins!

Congrats again to Levi and his family for making it through their difficult journey!

Apex Maternity Photographer | Expecting Henry

It was such a pleasure to meet this family of three, soon to be four! Courtney, Amanda, and Holden were expecting baby brother Henry in just a few short weeks when we met up this fall at Joyner Park in Wake Forest to capture some beautiful memories together. We had a beautifully warm October evening…I love when the weather and the light come together like magic!

Courtney and Amanda told me that Holden doesn’t give away his smiles very easily, and that turned out to be true! I am a total sucker for his pouty lip though…it’s just so cute! I don’t know how you can say no to that face. And we did manage to get a few smiles here and there after all!

We had so much fun together during our maternity session that I almost forgot to capture some photos of Courtney alone! She looks beautiful in that sage green, doesn’t she?

Coming soon: Henry’s newborn photos! Stay tuned!

These last couple of months of busy season 2022 have been, well…busy. As expected (and appreciated!) I’ve slacked on posting all of the beautiful family photo sessions I’ve had, but hopefully I can get back on track.

Today I’m back with part two of my outdoor fall photo sessions. I’d love for you to check out these beautiful families and leave them some love in the comments!
