Baby Aurora :: Fuquay-Varina, NC :: Newborn Photographer

Aurora was my very first newborn photo shoot! She was 1 week old! I love little toes, little noses, little fingers, cute cheeks, and pretty much everything there is to a baby. I was very excited to photograph Aurora. She was an angel during the entire photo shoot and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Bethany, her mom, originally wanted some photographs of Aurora to send to her husband, Matt, who was away and in the military. Luckily, he was able to return for the birth of his daughter. Prior to Aurora’s arrival, Matt painted a beautiful, bright painting for Aurora and her new bedroom. We were able to use the painting as a backdrop for some of the photos, which was perfect! The last photograph of the blog just melts my heart. Since Matt is away from home sometimes, this quote is left on the wall for the occasional reminder: “Life takes you to unexpected places. Love brings you home.”

Baby Sam :: Raleigh, North Carolina

I had a wonderful photo session with Sam a while ago. He is such a cutie with a handsome smile! His parents, Erica and Ray, are fun, vivacious people who I can see is constantly giving the world to their son. I had a blast with this family and hope to see them more often!

Jasper :: Emerald Isle, North Carolina

Jasper’s facial expressions remind me of Calvin in Calvin and Hobbes..haha. It’s up in the air whether he’s going to be just as sneaky as Calvin, though. These pictures were taken when we all got together at the Murray beach house in Emerald Isle. It was Jasper’s first beach trip! Thank you Jenni and Dan for letting us watch your precious kid while you were out and about! He certainly enjoyed the laundry basket!

Nolan Cash Hawkins :: Raleigh, North Carolina

Our good friends, Jessica and Tyler, came down to NC to visit in early September! While it’s always fabulous to see the both of them, I was also very eager to meet their newborn baby, who is now about 3 months (but in these photos about 1 month). Nolan is such a cutie pie! While he may have wanted to take a long, nice nap during the photoshoot, he was a good sport, and let me take a picture here and there.

Tom and Julie’s Vivacious Child Anouk

It’s tradition for my wife and I to travel to Asheville, NC each year for the music and art festival, Bele Chere. We met up with some of our good friends and Anouk, our friend’s daughter, definitely held the center of attention for the duration of the trip. She is full of energy and danced for nearly three hours to one of the bands we went to see. Her curiosity has her running aimlessly, poking in on various conversations surrounding her. I wish I was able to catch some of these moments because they are hilarious, and maybe I will one day, but for now, here are some nice portraiture shots of little Anouk.
