Outdoor Portrait Season is Here
Portrait session locations are chosen and scheduled based on the clients wishes, of course, except for those occasions when we’re asked to make suggestions or create specific looks. With the temps rising a bit, and the rain making everything so lush and gorgeous, we’re getting calls from families with reunions planned, newly engaged couples, parents with new babies and even best friends who meet annually to celebrate their friendship.
There are so many perfect spots in North and South Carolina from which to choose that we are excited for this season of outdoor portraits on location and with people – AND PETS – you love.

It’s amazing what a place you love – like your alma mater, your favorite park, a tourist area downtown or in the woods – adds to photos that will someday be more than memories: they will be cherished markers of history.

Leo Orozco newborn photos
“Babies smile in their sleep because they’re listening to the whispering of angels.” – Author unknown
This little angel is Leo Orozco and we had the pleasure of not only photographing his parents – Ashley and Oscar – for their engagement and wedding portraits – but his first portraits just about a week after he was born in April.
And yes, he is feeling his developing bicep.
“His little hands stole my heart,
his little feet ran away with it.” – Joshua Riley
It’s going to be so much fun watching this multi-cultural little man grow up surrounded by his loving family and the strong community within their church.

Sydney and Cherokee’s prom
Sydney Chambers and Cherokee Church (tell me those aren’t the names of heroines in a really great novel!) have been besties for more than 12 years. I’ve literally watched the two of them grow up from babies. These days, they are juniors at West Wilkes High School and a few weeks ago we photographed their prom portraits in our outdoor portrait garden at our studio in Wilkesboro.
Watching these two grow up has been such a blessing and pleasure and gives me hope for the future, honestly. They are beautiful young women – inside and out and here at the beach – and are two of my favorite portrait subjects. I love you ladies to bits!!

The Parker Family’s Day in the Orchard
Recently, we blogged about a newly engaged couple – Courtney and Cody. They were engaged in this very orchard and on the very same day that we shot photos of the now bride-to-be’s family. The Parkers were all part of the “engagement plan” that allowed Cody to get down on one knee while Courtney was distracted.
This family not only cheered when she said yes, they wanted us to get photos of them as well. It was a gorgeous day, the right occasion and the perfect setting. I love it when a plan comes together!
The Parkers already planned to have us photograph their family portraits in the Tevepaugh peach orchard, and Courtney believed that was why they were all present. After Cody popped the question and got a YES, we were also able to celebrate and get the groom-to-be and family portraits as well. Mom Kim especially wanted to carpe diem because all of the lives of her kids are going in different directions. [Aside: You guys know how this story goes… and it’s why family portraits – from first birthdays to reunions decades later – matter so much.] With Courtney’s engagement, they are gaining another son in Cody; they have a son who is away at college, and the youngest daughter just turned 16 and is now driving and will be the next out of the house. What better time to capture everyone together!
We will have the pleasure of being Courtney and Cody’s wedding photographers in the fall when they tie the knot and we’re already so excited. Between the planning and anticipation, we’re encouraging these two to take time to enjoy all the elements of this chapter of their lives. Courtney is going to be a beautiful bride and these photos below are the proof. 
Mom is happy to have recent portraits of her other two kids as well and we were happy to oblige. It doesn’t hurt that this is a very photogenic family.
