Week 8 of 52| Wilkes County Child & Family Photographer

03 March 2014


Week 8 gave us our first BIG snow of the year..I haven't seen so much snow since I was a little girl, so of course I had to take advantage of the winter scene and grab a few sunset shots of Raidyn!


 Even Rowley enoyed the snow, he was hilarious to watch! 


Once the snow cleared up a bit we went to visit pawpaw, he is staying with his daughter Kim until he is able to walk around better..he is doing much better by the way :)
Kim has a pet turtle, his name is Spike..but according to Raidyn his name is "Sea Turtle" I have never seen such an active turtle, Spike would chase Raidyn in his tank as Raidyn ran up and down the hall way, and when Raidyn ducked below the tank he would try to find him...Raidyn had a blast and it was quite entertaining to watch :)

Week 7 | North WIlkesboro Child & Family Photographer

19 February 2014


We walked outside today and Raidyn made an angry face as he pointed to the front yard that is no longer white..I think it is safe to say we made the most of the few days the snow decided to stick around! Here are a few of my favorite photos from our big snow play day!

Thanks to memaw, I even got to get in a photo :)

I've never beed much of a snow lover, but it sure is more enjoyable when I have someone like this little man to share it with :)

Week 6 | Wilkes County Family & Child Photographer

18 February 2014



When it came to selecting a photo to share for Week 6, I knew exactly which one it would be.. The weekend before this photo was taken my grandpa and Raidyn’s great grandpa was sent to the hospital due to extremely high calcium levels from his cancer and the radiation treatments he had been receiving. The doctors were not very hopeful, talking to the family about last wishes and telling us we needed to speak with him to determine what he wanted. Two days later the Good Lord reached down and brought this amazing man out of the fog, returned his calcium levels to a normal range and amazed doctors! That weekend was the hardest, most heart breaking and stressful weekend of my life. This photo was taken when my grandpa returned to the rehab facility and was feeling much better, seeing that smile on his face (which is always there when he is well) is such a beautiful sight! People, if you do not know this man, he is amazing…really just amazing!!

Week Five | Wilkes County Family & Child Photographer

Behind, Behind, Behind...welcome to the story of my life!!
I may be behind blogging my Project 52 but I haven't missed a day of photographing my sweet boy! 
So here is Week 5- We finally got our first snow, it was a little one- but we still enjoyed it! Raidyn's favorite part was being able to throw it at people! SNOWBALLS ARE AWESOME!

 Allow me to introduce another member of our family, Rowley! He just had a birthday :) and boy did he enjoy the snow!

I look at this portrait of Raidyn and wonder how in the world my son could be so beautiful! 
This photo was taken in the hallway of my North Wilkesboro studio, and boy do I love it!

This week we went to a play date at a friends, Raidyn loved playing with Sophie's kitchen set and us mommy's had a bast crafting and chatting.

then after our play date little man got sick :( Poor little guy...but he is feeling much better now!!

Week Three!
We FINALLY managed to get over to the studio and take Raidyn's Christmas portraits :) yes, I've been a bad photog mommy!
We received this stocking in our goodie bag from the hospital when he was born and decided after we used it during his newborn session that we would make it a tradition to photograph him with this huge handmade stocking every year until he was a big boy- like 18- he may hate me by the end of it :)



the close ups are always my favorites :) 

We also managed to make it to the park this week- we didn't get to stay long since our weather here in NC doesn't have a clue what season we are in! But nonetheless, he had a blast pretending to be Mario & Luigi shooting sharks and giant squids from the boat! btw, his name is no longer Raidyn- he tells everyone his name is Mario-Luigi.

& he wasn't happy to leave :(  


Project 52- Week 2| Wilkes County Child Photographer

13 January 2014

It was pretty impossible for me to choose only one photo for this past week! Below are a few of my favorites from January 6th-12th!

Daddy came home with a pack of candy necklaces so Raidyn was able to enjoy candy old school style :) and he was loving it, just look at that smile :)  Daddy also finished up the back room (which initially was suppose to be my new home office) but now it is serving the purpose of awesome playroom for this little man and as you can see from photo two he is enjoying the extra space!! Yes, that is our Christmas tree in the background in the third photo- don't judge! We finally have it down now!!

We were both beyond excited to be back at gymnastics after a two week holiday break- so excited in fact that Raidyn decided he would do the beam all by himself- no help at all :)
Proud mommy moment :)

After a little shopping spree Thursday after gymnastics where Raidyn decided he NEEDED to be a ninja turtle and HAD to have both a turtle shell and a Leonardo sword we went to visit Pawpaw as they transferred him to the rehabilitation center after surgery! 



I must admit I am loving this Project 52 thing so far- I typically take a photo of Raidyn every day anyway but this forces me to actually do something with them :) YAY!


Project 52- Week 1 | Wilkes County Family Photographer

07 January 2014


Even before I decided to pursue photography I had a deep value and love for a photograph- when my beautiful son was born I made it a goal to take a photograph of him each day. He is now three and without those photos I am certain I wouldn't remember him being nearly bald, I wouldn't remember when his first curls grew in- I am still amazed when I look back through those photos because my mind sees him the way he is now- with a head full of crazy hair and enough energy to power a metropolitan city! I believe I have only missed taking a photo of him about twenty times in his lifetime. This year, I have made it one of my goals to share more personal photographs to allow my clients to get to know me better. One way I plan to do this is by participating in my first Project 52! I will be sharing a photo of my sweet Raidyn each week! Likely, these photos will be less than perfect..however, I will look at them through my mommy goggles and see the love that makes my world turn!

Week 1 of Project 52

These photographs were taken on January 4th just lounging about in our living room late at night (as usual- our house is full of night owls) and YES! we do have a basketball goal attached to the wall in our living room- that's perfectly normal right?!?
