One of our newest Newborn members of the SWP family! Welcome Holden. He was so SO good for his session. We even did a little outdoor shooting since the weather was perfect. Gotta love that pretty light that peeks through in the Freemason district.
The Cross Family: Flyway Lodge Knotts Island NC
We spent a pretty Saturday Morning at one of North Carolina's newest wedding venues, The Flyway Lodge. It literally has the best view out onto the water, a gorgeous rustic barn, a tree lined driveway and plenty of greenery. Special thanks to Allison for letting us come play at the Lodge! Also folks if you are looking for a great Airbnb, then you should stay at the Flyway!
Every year I get together with the Cross Family and update Lucas's dump truck picture. Soon enough that tall little guy will need a real size dump truck. He can still wiggle his little bottom in that one for now though!
Foggy Snow Maternity Session: Virginia Beach VA
Victoria and Brandon are expecting a little boy very soon now. This tiny little momma and her sweet pump were glowing the morning of our maternity session. Brandon wanted to do their session at the beach but once VB got our big blizzard we settled for a snow shoot...which in my opinion was wayyyyy better! We started before the sun popped out from the early morning clouds. Then the fog rolled in all around us. It was pretty neat. I thank the good LORD above that Victoria didnt slip on that crazy ice. She was such a trooper!!
Baby Arrow: Hunting newborn session
When your momma and daddy are avid hunters you get the honor of snuggling up next to a big ole antler. It wasn't too long ago when I captured baby Aristotle's, "Arrow" for short, Mommy and Daddy's big day. Now this sweet bundle of joy has arrived to help complete the Cleanthes household. Hes a sweet little thing and even posed for his first Christmas Photo in front of his very first Christmas tree.
A Christmas engagement in downtown Pungo: Lilly & Chris
Lilly and Chris are too adorable... I mean come on look at that polka dot skirt Lilly is rocking...
They both are teachers at Creeds elementary school and that is where their relationship began. When these two look at each other they cant help but giggle. Their smiles are contagious you cant help but to laugh with them.
Lilly had the idea of incorporating a little bit of Christmas into their engagement session. Since she is a local pungolian and is tying the knot at the Culpepper barn, we agreed to photograph at the adorable Bee and Biscuit (Thank you so much Bee!!) where we got the best of both worlds. You can actually see the adorable barn in the back ground of the first few photos from their session from the Bee's parking lot (tell me how awesome that worked out?!)
After playing around in the Bee's yard we popped across the street to the Pungo tree to capture a few Christmas shots while Lilly rocked a beautiful lace red dress to bring in more of the Christmas vibe. Another sweet fact from our photoshoot is that Lilly's students sang Christmas carols on that stage at the Pungo Tree lighting.
Lilly and Chris, I cannot wait to spend the day with you all in April and watch you become Mr and Mrs!
Special shout out to the Bee and Biscuit and Emily G for pushing my stroller around so we could capture these epic pics!!
