Baby Hill is on the way!

I was so excited with the way this day turned out! At the very end of fall, entering into winter I was hoping there was still some fall leaves left on the trees to give a nice backdrop to the Hill's maternity shoot. They wore the perfect colors to match the only tree left in Old Salem that still had leaves yet to fall. Melanie and Robert are ready for their baby girl to arrive, and it is apparent on their smiles and pure joy that they are excited for her arrival. This couple was so full of love for each other and for their unborn baby. I can't wait to meet the Baby Hope :)

The Jacob Family

This family was is such good spirit this morning. We met at Old Salem and toured around the small village seeking out colorful trees and good spots to pose. I couldn't stop laughing with the silliness from the girls, and couldn't stop smiling with the fun loving attitude they all had with each other!

Melerski Family

The Melerski's are close friends of mine from Atlanta. They wanted a surprise photo shoot for their parents to finally have a family photo of their kids. We met in Greensboro while they were all visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday to take some shots. I've never had so many dogs in one photo together, I'm glad they at least smiled for the camera :)

The Carmichael Family, Russell turns 1!

Presenting, The Carmichael's. Russell, the adorable 1 year old loves to nibble on leaves! This little boy was so well behaved while we shot their fall family photos--all he needed was a leaf, and he was happy as a clam! Russell's facial expressions, giggles and pure adorableness kept me laughing the whole time!

The Fala Family

This family was so cute and happy to photograph.  We met at a park on a cool fall morning and got started by taking photos by the pond. Ollie is such a precious girl with the biggest bluest eyes I've ever seen! As soon as we got her rock chair out, she was ready to pose and show us her moves. The goal was a good family shot of the 3 of them. I'm so honored that I could give this family the family photos they have been wanting for so long!

Kam and Talana

Talana is a fellow teacher at my school and took the opportunity to have a photo session for her daughter, Kam. This little girl took a little while to warm up to the camera, but once she did, her hip was popping and her smile was out! We ventured over to the playground to get some candid shots of her playing. I have never seen a girl so excited to swing and so happy to go down on the slide! She was full of life and laughter, making it a great fall afternoon!
