I was so surprised and excited when I received an email from the Ashtons that they were expecting TWINS in January!  (I sometimes fall asleep at night dreaming that we are pregnant with twin boys–and we finally get to use all those boy names we’ve have been saving up!…but since that is probably not going to happen, I will just live through Ruth.)  Suffice it to say, I was incredibly honored to be able to photograph their adorable little bundles this week.

And let me just tell you, they were ADORABLE. Adam and Alex just slept and hugged each other like little angel babies. Big brother Evan was also very sweet with them. What lucky boys they are to have him as a big brother!

Ashtons, congratulations on your incredible baby boys! I am so grateful they arrived safe and sound without complication, and that I had the opportunity to photograph them. Thank you!

I was so excited to be able to go back to  Fairview Greenhouses and Garden Center to take some more photos for their newsletters!  Everyone that I met were incredibly kind and fun to photograph.  I just have a smile on my face the whole time I’m there.  The store and greenhouses themselves are BEAUTIFUL—even in the winter!

Heather and co, thank you so much for the opportunity to do another session. Y’all are the BEST!

I had a fantastic—albeit freezing—time with Alyssa and Ben this weekend! We met up in Raleigh for their mini session and don’t let the sun fool you—it was chilly! Alyssa and Ben were great sports though—I guess what is “cold” to me is nothing compared to Utah, where they will be getting married in March. : )

Thank you guys so much for giving me the opportunity to do some engagement pics for you while you were in town! I couldn’t be happier for you…congratulations!

sabow mini session!

This session got pushed back due to weather and we actually shot it on Christmas Eve! I normally never would’ve done a session on Christmas Eve, but the darling Sabow family was visiting from Florida and it was the only way we could make it work. It ended up working out perfectly because visiting grandparents were able to help watch my kids, and since it was a mini session I wasn’t gone long. Win-win! I loved the location they chose—downtown Apex. Sweet little Grace was ADORABLE even though it was chilly, and I seriously could’ve photographed them all day long.

Jenny and Jason, THANK YOU for the great mini session. I’m so glad we were able to squeeze this in. Y’all are a beautiful family.

The holidays have sent my little photography blog to the back burner…I apologize! However, I am thrilled to share a little preview from sweet little Phillip’s newborn session!  Back in December, he joined two big brothers and the sweetest parents…the best Christmas present for them!  Phillip was so cute and he couldn’t be a luckier—or more loved– little guy!

Congratulations Brown family! I am so happy for your family!

young family mini session!

I was so honored when Lisa mentioned that they would be up from Georgia and would like me to photograph their sweet family!  We used to go to church with them when we both lived in Durham, so I was excited to see them again and of course their DOLL of a baby, Maren!  She was the sweetest little baby girl, especially considering it was FREEZING outside… truly, she was just so SO adorable I couldn’t stand it! (And look at that outfit! Love the yellow striped jacket!)

Lisa and Bradley, I couldn’t be happier for you guys. Maren is perfect and such a lucky girl to have you two as parents. What a beautiful family you are.

I am so excited about this blog post…this is my little nephew, Perry Holland Terhune! My sister and brother-in-law welcomed little Perry into their family a week ago today, and I was beyond honored to be able to do some pictures of the three of them…well, four of them with Bolo of course! (It’s a little intimidating doing pictures for such talented photographers though!) Perry was SO good for his little photoshoot…awake some but mostly sleepy, and just really the cutest little baby ever. Samantha and Graham are already such cute parents and I love seeing them interact with him. Suffice it to say, Perry is one VERY LOVED little boy. My kindergarten-age daughter was in tears this morning that she had to go to school instead of coming with me to see baby Perry, and she just saw him last night : )

Anyways, I know with photographers as parents Perry will have tons of baby pictures (Graham used a whole roll of film in about 5 minutes today haha!) but it really was so awesome to be photographing my cute little nephew! (I tried to avoid posting any potential Christmas card pics)

We love you so much baby Perry!

Oh yes! Love, love, love these photos so much! The last photo of Bolo and Perry on the bed made me laugh. So cute! Looks like y’all are embracing parenthood with tons of grace. You look good going it! Great photos Sarah!!

Sarah, these are perfectly wonderful! Is there a way that I could purchase the one of Graham kissing Perry? That surely does tug at this Gramma’s heart? I can’t wait to meet him next week!!!

I would not do Thanksgiving weekend pictures for just anyone…but when Candice emailed me months back about doing a session when they were in town for Thanksgiving, I was THRILLED!  I had the opportunity of photographing Candice and Spencer when they got engaged AND when they got married last year!  They have since moved out of the Triangle, so it was awesome to see them again and see how much they love life and love each other after celebrating their first anniversary a few months ago. We had fun exploring downtown and all in all it was a perfect session!

Thanks so much Candice and Spencer! Y’all are the best! I was so honored to photograph you guys again!

This mini session was an adventure! It was FREEZING cold!  The Nelson’s had originally booked a September session but due to illness and bad weather, we finally we were able to do their pics last weekend. The kiddos were good sports in the cold…especially little April, who became my buddy. She was so cute telling me about their Thanksgiving and all about their family. Jill and Troy, I know some day you will look back and laugh at the memories from this mini session.  Thanks so much for the opportunity to photograph you! : )

I hope you got some more good ones. The pictures you have are beautiful! I am starting to laugh a little bit, even though I still see the pjs of the twins and Derek. It’s ok, next time I won’t forget so much stuff. :) Thank you again for taking our pictures.

fife mini session

I was thrilled to be able to photograph the Fife’s this year!  Steph and I have been friends for years now but I hadn’t seen her or her family in forever! I almost did not recognize Josh…I think he had grown like a foot since I saw him last! Lance is an attorney and helped us with our real estate closing when we bought our house last spring, so I was happy to be of some “help” to them for a family mini session before Christmas! : )

Thanks so much Fife family! Your disc is on it’s way!
