Expecting Baby Driver

This is not a reference to the 2017 film with Ansel Elgort and Lily James. Rather, this is a recent maternity shoot of a lovely couple in the NC Mountains. Macy & Jesse are expecting their first child, a girl, any day now. They called the pregnancy their honeymoon surprise, but will probably name the child something entirely different. 😉 They are the cutest couple.

The couple came to us when Macy was at 34 weeks and we met up in a special mountain spot, because this mama-to-be loves the mountains, loves vistas and scenery.

Despite mentioning that they are not particularly into public displays of affection, the pair were so touchy and sweet together and this helped me capture images that will become keepsakes for this family.

They say that the best gift you can give a child is a set of parents that love each other and show it. I feel good about the future for this baby girl.

Once again, during this session, I realized how absolutely ratified I feel about what I do and why. Maternity photo shoots give me such joy and every setting, especially these outdoor portrait sessions in the mountains – with Macy in her especially chosen blue dress, are just the magic.

Fall Portrait Photography Sessions

We’ve made it to Labor Day during a global pandemic. Somehow, someway, here we are. I am grateful and I am ready for fall. We hope you all are taking care of yourselves as kids return to whatever version of school is on deck for them. Now: it’s time to talk about fall portraits of your family, your children and even the holidays.

Fall Portrait Locations

…. are everywhere in this area. We are, what you might say, replete with places to have a family fall portrait sessions, individual portraits to mark an occasion or just because portraits. Just because? Just because it’s gorgeous outside in North Carolina from late September to Thanksgiving. Consider the Blue Ridge Parkway, local barns, farms, parkways, favorite hiking paths, camp grounds and even a favorite tree where you picnic or gather year round.

Below are some favorites outdoor portraits in these locations, but we are more than game to host you at our outdoor studio or discover a new spot you have in mind!

Ok – so the one above was taken in the spring, but you get the idea. The location is the star. Just a path in the woods, a greenway near your home or a special building or spot your family or partner loves – like the Loray Mill in Gastonia (below) make perfect spots for a fall photo shoot.
