DCPC Preschool

This is my third spring in a row taking candid black and white photographs of the adorable DCPC preschoolers at play. I have so much fun doing this and it's amazing how the children have grown each year. The one year olds pretty much just play and don't pay too much attention to me. However, there was one little girl who kept telling me NOT to take her picture. The two year olds keep playing too but at a MUCH faster pace. The three year olds come out on the playground screaming, "take my picture.... watch me do this... take my picture doing this....take my picture with my friend....etc... Last but not least, the four year olds. They are the hardest for me to get a candid shot of. I think their Mom's must take their pictures all the time because if they see the camera pointing in their direction they just freeze and smile at me.

I had a blast taking all of these photographs. They will be on sale Tuesday, May 6 at the Preschool Family Dinner Night. A portion of the total sales will be donated to the preschool. Thank you to the preschool director, teachers, and parents who allow me to come in and photograph the children. It is definitely something I look forward to each year.

I love these boys!!

These are two of my favorite boys to photograph. I can't believe how big they are... I've been photographing the older one since he was 2 and the little guy since he was born. It has been so much fun watching them grow up. This session was particularly special because I got to photograph their cousin as well. She has the most beautiful blue eyes!!!

At the Mint Museum

I traveled down to the Mint Museum the other day and met the sweetest family. I had never been there before so it was fun exploring around with these three kids. I love new places to photograph, especially with a family like this!!

In the gardens

What a great day! I got to photograph this adorable 2 year old in the most beautiful garden you've ever seen!!! I just followed him around the path and tried to capture his expressions as he explored rocks, pine cones, and even a real fairy house. I have known his mom since I moved here, and think she is great!!! It was so nice to finally meet her son!

Beaver Dam

I took these photographs of this family last week on a damp, chilly morning at Beaver Dam in Davidson. They were so great and didn't mind getting wet grass all in their sandals.

Spring Days

Here are a few photographs of my girls taken in downtown Charlotte over Spring Break. This is a rare sight...ME in a photograph. Chris took this one. Not bad, huh??And a few from our trip to Richmond, VA for Cousin Caroline's 5th birthday. 5 years old!!! I cannot believe how fast these years are passing by!





Can you guess what she got for her birthday???

Fun! Fun! Fun!

This little guy was full of energy. It felt more like a playdate than a photography session. The best part was the big hugs that he gave me!! Just look at how cute he is.

His mom was not planning on being photographed but hopefully she won't mind this one!

My First Post

Hello and thank you for visiting my Blog! I could not imagine a more adorable boy for my first post. He was so sweet and so much fun. I had the best time photographing him!!!
