The dreamiest spring newborn shoot!

When Leah reached out about doing her maternity pictures with her wife and daughter, she made sure I knew first thing that she wanted these to be non-traditional. She joked about how she isn't the typical pregnant woman and wanted to make sure that amongst the "serious" ones that she also got some that matched her goofy personality…

It’s always an honor to watch your families grow from behind our cameras and we have been part of the Gibson family for a while. We have photographed their engagement, bridal shoot, wedding, anniversaries, graduations, first maternity, and family shoots. It's only fitting that now we are invited into their second maternity shoot. Mom and dad’s humor shown through in the popular reference to The Office inside joke on the announcement shirt and onesie…

This was Ashley’s first time getting to photograph these friends of friends of hers. You might not be able to tell in the photos, but y’all… Their morning shoot was COLD! There was thick, icy frost on the ground, but that did not slow these big brothers down from exploring all over the park. They stayed warm running around looking for wildlife in between being wrangled for family pictures with their precious baby sister and their awesome mom and dad.

Eeee! We’re so excited to start sharing these 2021 Fall Short Stories with y’all! We’ve had the best time with y’all shooting these. It’s so fun to catch up with your families every year and document how much they’ve changed. First up, we have our first fall mini shoot day in Raleigh with Becca from the end of October. Although most of the leaves hadn't quite turned fall colors yet, we had a gorgeous but chilly morning for photos! All of these families had little ones, who rocked their assignment with smiles!We were lucky that there was one pile of leaves next to a building and a parking lot that had some great color! Through some creative cropping/angles from Becca, we managed to make it look so good. These were some of Becca’s favorite moments from each shoot, and the kiddos loved being able to play in the fall leaves!
