Owen and Elliott were an absolute pleasure to photograph. These boys were so happy during the entire session, it made my job so much fun! Owen is three and loves to talk; he kept telling me all kinds of cute little stories. Elliott is one of the happiest 11 month olds I’ve seen and gave me more smiles than I could have ever asked for. These are some of my favorites, though there were so many more.

These spiffy blue shoes have a great story. Owen’s mom got them for him in Africa before he was ever born, in hopes that one day she might have a little boy. Now that he’s three, he can finally fit into them and has worn them all the time. I asked him to show me his shoes and how cute is the response I got!

Owen and Elliott’s grandma knitted the entire family these cute matching socks. We just had to get some photos of them!

I worked on a project a couple months ago that required me to do a photo shoot of a sweet little boy named Alex. I can’t divulge many details about the project yet, but I wanted to post some of photos I took for it. I know one thing for sure, there are some amazingly talented people in Charlotte and I am privileged to be able to work with them.

My little boy is two years old, so Halloween was especially fun this year. I dressed him up as the Itsy Bitsy Spider and he made the cutest little spider I have ever seen! Of course, once he realized that he could pull the costume off by ripping the velcro on the front, he would no longer keep it on. I did manage to capture a few shots of all the cuteness before the velcro discovery (and before the rain started).

Recently I took a trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with a large group of women from my church. We all had a great time and I was able to take a few picture while we were there. We stayed near the end of the famous strip, but there were very few people there… it was almost like a ghost town. The weather was just gorgeous though. I think October might actually be a great time to vacation there!

Kimberly is a great friend of mine and also an AMAZING stylist! (If you’re ever looking for a new stylist, she’s one of the best in Charlotte… She’s at Salon Piper Glen.) Kimberly and her husband, Jeff, also donated to Images for a Cure and we had a great time on our mini-session. I’ve photographed them before so I knew how much Jeff hates the camera. I think I got some genuine smiles out of him and of course, Kimberly was just beautiful! Here are some of my favorites from the session.
