Yes, this photo session included husband and kiddos! We love shoots of the expectant mother glowing and showing off her belly, but we also appreciate capturing the group that will be this kid’s welcoming committee. Mitch, Lindsey and their young sons, Tate & Turner met us in the woods near a stream to celebrate some pretty fantastic news for this family.
Both sides of Mitch and Lindsey’s families are largely populated by boys. For whatever reason, there just aren’t that many daughters born into the mix. So when the couple found out that their third child was a little girl, let’s just say that there was great joy.
We met up with this crew on a VERY hot Memorial Day, but planned ahead as moms with boys will do. Since we brought our son Finley to the shoot, Lindsey and I decided that when we were done for the day, we would let the boys play in the creek and just get dirty and wet! And they did.
Tate and Turner had some adjusting to do to get ready for a little sister (the Yorks greeted Miss Tinleigh in late June and you’ll meet her soon!), but on this day it was about fun in the woods, something this family thrives on. We LOVE interacting with families who are now friends so despite the heat, we lived it up and got lovely shots of mother, father and kiddos.
Mitch and Lindsey bought the one year baby package, but this session was free because they took advantage of our referral program. We’re not kidding, folks: we honor these and love it when people take advantage of saving AND getting heirloom portraits.
We also captured some absolutely stunning belly photos of Lindsey, but these guys are private and have kept those to themselves. Moms: take note. If you would like photos of you in your 7th, 8th or 9th month with a bare belly, we take those all the time. We won’t share them with the world without asking!
Keep your eyes peeled for the blog about their new little girl! She is a living doll.

This lovely family all wanted to be a part of the maternity shoot. They came to our outdoor portrait garden during the fall and I’m proud to say that the colors were amazing. We had no hand in that, but we love it when we can shoot sessions here and enjoy what God has created for autumn and for us.
Big brother Conner knew exactly what to do in the garden and had the most fun running around, laughing, and making everyone work extra hard to keep up with him. He belly laughed and giggled for the camera, while his Mom – at the time 36 weeks pregnant and seriously gorgeous – was serene and his Dad was happy and proud. When they returned to the studio a week later to see their photo presentation I was touched by how much her husband oohed and ahhed over her photos and told her how beautiful she was. Let’s face it, most Moms this far along in their pregnancy feel far from that about themselves.
Their new daughter was born on her due date, December 3rd and we just spent time capturing her newborn portraits. We look forward to photographing her first full year and getting to know this family better!
This mom was referred to us by her co-worker. Because of our referral program, this client now gets a free portrait session and $50 in print credits. Consider taking part in this program!

The Arnold family is special and so is the impulse behind this photo session. We had the pleasure of photographing Meghan and Jeremy’s wedding and capturing the first photos of their daughter Berklee as a newborn and 6 month old. Our newest session with this family was in February of this year and was engineered on the down low by husband Jeremy. Wife and mom, Meghan is due with their second child, a little boy they plan to name Wyatt and Jeremy decided that he wanted to surprise Meghan with the maternity photo session as a Christmas gift.
I’ve gotta insert a flashback here. We sort of recreated a moment we captured in an orchard photo session from a couple of years ago. I love seeing Berklee’s little hands touching Meghan’s belly in between her parents. It’s perfectly reminiscent of her seated between them when she was just about a year old.
As they prepare for the newest Arnold to show up, he was included in the shoot – beyond Meghan’s belly. The baseball with Wyatt’s name was one of Jeremy’s while he played baseball for UNC Chapel Hill. We look forward to meeting this little man and seeing his resemblance to his sister and parents and what parts of his personality shine.
It’s hard not to include another photo from the orchard where we tied the two sessions together. Although Berklee is bigger, she can still be tossed in the air and loves it! I saw the same sweet smiles and same crazy joy on their faces.
We just LOVE having them as clients and cannot wait to meet new addition Wyatt. We feel confident that Berklee is going to be a wonderful big sister. Thanks, Arnold family! See you soon, we hope, with member number four.

If there was a monetary payout for blue eyes, this kid would be the richest man in town. COME. ON!!
Jessica and I met years ago at girls beach trip getaway and have been friends ever since. I was so happy to get to be the one to photograph Gaven’s adorable gummy smile and capture him at this age, because we all know how fast it goes. I’ll blink and he’ll be getting his senior portraits taken.
Normally all smiles and flirtatious, on this day Gavin was a bit more serious when the camera was on him. We pulled out all the stops behind the camera including Ryan jumping up and down and running in circles, which he was going to do anyway. Might as well do it for work. <I’m ducking as I say that. HA!!> We randomly discovered that what Gavin enjoyed most was Ryan’s very loud whistle. Hey, any port in a storm and it worked!
One of the great things about shooting the photos of newborns and babies is that Ryan and I get to make new friends and family members and those amazing creatures give us guidance now that we’re expecting. Because our sons will be so close in age, Jessica is kindly giving me boy-mom advice and a ready shoulder and I’m so grateful.
