Halloween Time/Asheville Child Photographer

Today I did a few pictures of Mya and River in their costumes.  They love to dress up in the playroom so this was so much fun for them. It made me SO excited about Halloween!!  These trees are at the entrance to our neighborhood and everyday I’ve just been watching them turn colors and have been loving it!  I hate to see these gorgeous leaves fall so I had to take advantage of them before they were gone.  So here are my witch and very hungry little caterpillar.  🙂

Time Flies!/Asheville Family Photographer

I can’t believe how fast time goes.  I did maternity pictures for this momma last year and now their baby girl is about to turn one!  She sure is a cutey but she did not want to smile for me!  I’ve got a cake smash coming up with her and I’m going to see what tricks I have in my bag to get her to smile.  🙂  Thanks you guys for a great afternoon!  I’ll be seeing you very soon!

So Sleepy/Asheville Newborn Photographer

Today I got to do photos for a momma who I had done maternity pictures for.  She walked in and good Lordy, you would never have known she just had a baby!  And their sweet baby girl was the sleepiest baby I’ve worked with so far.  She just slept and slept, the perfect little client!  Her dad was smitten with her and it was so beautiful to see!  What a lucky girl.  And I will say that I was very excited to do these pictures because as long as I’ve been a photographer, I’ve never gotten the chance to do newborn pictures right before Halloween.  I had to take full advantage of that and include some pumpkins!  Thank you guys for being perfect clients and for letting me photograph your little pumpkin.  😉

The Sweetest/Asheville Newborn Photographer

Today I finally got to meet this most beautiful baby girl.  She was born 2 months early so we waited a while to do her newborn pictures.  She is actually almost 3 months old now so I wasn’t sure how it was going to go.  I imagined lots of eyes wide open shots, but this baby girl was just like a newborn.  She might be one of the most beautiful babies I’ve ever seen and so, so tiny!  I think she’s the tiniest baby I’ve worked with and I couldn’t get enough of her little bitty booty and her little baby belly.  😉  She was a feisty thing though.  She did not like to be moved, at all.  Sorry sweet thing!  Her parents gave me the best compliment.  They called me “The Baby Whisperer”.  hehe  I will say I do have a knack for getting babies to sleep. Thank goodness since it’s kind of important.  lol   Thank you guys so much for allowing me to do photos for you.  I fell in love with your little girl and loved working with you!

A Morning at the Beach/Asheville Child Photographer

We just got back from a week in Heaven, I mean a week at the beach!  We went to Myrtle Beach, the beach that I grew up going to every summer.  It was so nostalgic for me to be there again.  I recognized the hotel that we used to stay at without even knowing the name.  I saw the pancake house that we used to eat breakfast at.  I saw where I rode my first roller coaster.  Being there took me straight back to my childhood and all of the good memories that I had with my grandparents.  The whole time we were there I had dreams about them.  Made me miss them so much.

I knew that while we were there I wanted to take pictures of Mya on the beach.  The first day there is the day that I should have done it.  She was happier than I have ever seen her in my life.  The beach was her place!  And then as the week went on, she got really, really sick.  🙁  But she still wanted to go to the beach and spend the days at the pool in the lazy river.  On our last day there, she was feeling better, so I got her up early and took her to the beach to do pictures.  She still loved it but was so worn down from the week and from not sleeping (yeah, we decided to put her and River in the same room….ohhhh boy, nobody slept!)  And the sun was just too bright, even at 7:45!  So I didn’t get the pictures that I had wanted so badly, but I got time alone with my girl.  After we finished taking pictures, we sat on our towel and watched the ocean and the paddle surfers.  It was so peaceful and a time that I’ll never forget.  I miss the beach so much and wish we were still there, but now I have some pictures to remind me of the amazing time that we had.  I love you my sweet, sweet girl!
