We shot these portraits in early January and boy was it cold! Time was of the essence, so rescheduling was not an option, however everyone in this super cool family was a trooper! We braved the 30 degree temps (and wind that made it feel even colder) together and got some great photos and even shared many laughs. I always love photographing families and children, but there is something about photographing couples who are so deeply in love that is so rewarding. Love is such a powerful thing and to be able to capture even a glimmer of it between two people is such a privilege.

Taking a break from photographing little ones, this shoot was of three beautiful sisters. What was neat about this session is that each time one of them passes a major milestone (graduation, engagement, etc), they have a portrait of the 3 of them done. And because Leslie is graduating and Stacey is getting married, I was bestowed with the honor of taking this special family portrait. We had so much fun catching up (it’s worth mentioning that I grew up living mere yards from these ladies). It was so much fun and they were such great models! Here are some of my favorites.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing this family for a very long time. Steph and I were pregnant with our little ones at the same time too, so I’ve been able to watch sweet little Evelyn grow along with my little boy. Naturally, I was very excited to be able to take their family photos. As with most two year olds, Evelyn was more interested in exploring her surroundings than posing for pictures, but we went with her flow and got some great shots of Evelyn just being herself. Here are some of my favorites.

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.

Portraits | Salina

November 4, 2008

I have been so excited about these portraits since I took them over a week ago!  This is Salina, a friend of mine who has an amazing story!  She graciously allowed me to photograph her and I am so glad that I did.  I had an extremely hard time picking out my favorites though.  While editing, my husband asked what I did to make her skin glow.. the answer is absolutely nothing.  Seriously, her skin is just that radiant.  All I did was apply the “Lori Touch”.  The shots were flawless directly from the camera!
