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!











Fall Family Photo Sessions are held every year in late October/early November. Be sure to get on my email list to be first to hear when they become available for next year!
And to inquire about maternity, newborn, and/or baby’s first year sessions, send me a message!

Another year of fall family photo sessions has come and gone. I love these sweet sessions for returning clients who have moved from baby’s first year sessions into annual photo sessions for the family.
I’ll share these sessions across a couple of different posts so that you aren’t scrolling forever and ever, so come back in a few days to view more of some of my favorite families!

Picture this: it’s your first time leaving the house as a brand-new family. You’ve managed to get the diaper bag packed, the baby dressed (twice), and everyone buckled in. As you pull into my studio parking lot, your mind is spinning with questions. Will the baby cry the whole time? What are we even supposed […]
