Extended Family

I photographed 14 weddings last year and at least 100 families.  Add in newborns, maternity shoots, mini sessions, corporate events and a fashion book, and this girl had one big year!  I so appreciated all of the business you all provided to my company and my family.  So, it was very nice to take a 2 week break from the camera and actually have my own family photographed.  It is fairly simple to get my family of 4 together for a photo op in Charlotte but my extended family all lives in Atlanta, GA.  My dear friend and fellow photographer, Audrey Daum of Audrey Daum Photography in Atlanta, drove to my sister’s house just after Christmas to take these great shots.

My love for photography started with my mother.  That woman was at every homecoming, cheerleading event, dance recital, school function, softball game, etc. with her camera in-hand.  I am so thankful that she instilled in me a desire to document life’s greatest joys with a camera.  This session was my gift to her and she seemed very pleased by the gesture.  Both of my parents have been wonderful examples of kindness, forgiveness, generosity and love in my life.  They gave me 2 beautiful sisters to share my childhood with and just so happen to be the best grandparents ever to 4 grandchildren.  I am blessed to have such a close extended family.  Enjoy!
