dear friends | raleigh family photographer

I always am overwhelmed with pure joy when dear friends ask me to photograph their families. I have known these friends since I was little and our families have grown up together. Simply put...I love them as if they were my own siblings and I love that they chose me to capture this moment in their lives!

I always wished I had a sister. There is just something so special about that bond. These girls did not disappoint with their sisterly love!

Sunday I met a new family at Lake Benson Park and the whole shoot just screamed, "fall is here". The leaves, the cooler weather...it just all felt perfect!

Saturday afternoon I spent photographing this family in Pullen Park. I love catching up with old clients and seeing how much their kids have grown!

three boys | garner family photographer

I just love this family. This is my third year doing their photos and each year I just feel honored that they asked me to capture their joy! I am especially amazed at how grown all three boys look this year. We had a fun, but chilly, morning on the farm!

This fall I have had several requests to photograph at the Rand-Bryan House in Garner. It is a gorgeous, fully operating farm and it is the perfect backdrop for family photos. Today, I was honored to photograph the owners of the house and farm on the grounds. I learned so much about the property and the history! Plus, I got these beautiful images that I hope they enjoy as much as I enjoyed spending the afternoon with them!

I had the honor of photographing this family in the spring and oh my how this little guy has grown. I love watching the kids grow up right in front of my lense! Sweet, sweet memories.

a special treat | garner family photographer

What a treat for me to be able to photograph some friends from high school today! Their kids were picture perfect the entire shoot and we walked away with some beautiful pictures!
