The leaves have fallen, the smell of gingerbread fills the air, greenery adorns railings and wreaths dress-up doors, and I just bought red lip gloss...the holidays are HERE!

Thanksgiving is late this year, which gives us an extra week to plan our Thanksgiving party, but that means that Christmas will be here one week sooner than usual, giving us even LESS time to get our shopping done! I realize that I have one less week to procrastinate this year on finding the perfect gifts for our families.

Family portraits are a fun, easy gift that parents and grandparents will love! Photo ornaments, framed prints, bragbooks - just to name a few. We're booking our Holiday Family Minis now through December 14th in gorgeous locations such as Old Salem, Tanglewood Park and other festive locations in the Triad.


Fantabulous 30 minute mini family photography sessions are available outdoors at a location of your choice in Winston Salem, Clemmons, Greensboro, High Point or any other location in the Triad!
(weather permitting - in the case of rain or storms, your session will be rescheduled)




- Two Outfits/One Wardrobe Change
- Unlimited Family Members and Pets
- No Travel Fee
Session Fee is just $75 and includes a 30 minute mini session for unlimited family and 9-15 fully edited images to choose from.
Prints, collections and products purchased separately.

Halloween Food Drive - We did it!

We did it!  We surpassed our food count collection amount this year by 75 items - we collected 247 total items for the food pantry at East Stokes Outreach Ministry!  I am so excited that we were able to collect even more food at our Halloween food drive this year than last year - and we couldn't have done it without our amazing clients.  You guys are so wonderful - sending a huge { thank you } and hugs to each and every one of you who brought your little one in their costume and participated this year.

We dropped the food off at the Outreach Ministry on Friday morning, the day after our food drive, and everyone was so grateful for the donations.  We have been seeing posts in our newsfeed on Facebook from the Outreach Ministry that their pantry is extremely low and they've had to turn people away.  We hate to see things like that happen - you don't have to wait for our food drive each year to donate...you can donate any time of the year to their pantry, and they can definitely use it :-)

  Six years of our annual food drive, and we've collected more and more food each year.  I truly enjoy having the opportunity to do this every year - spending time catching up with clients, meeting new people, and being able to give back to the community at the same time means the world to me.  Again, we wouldn't be able to do this without the thoughtful and caring people who attend our event each year - THANK YOU guys!  I am really looking forward to doing it again next year!

Meet Paisley...and smile! { winston salem newborn photographer }

winston salem newborn photography | triad newborn photographers

 Hello world, meet Paisley - a sweet, sleepy 9 day old sweetie...so full of smiles  :-)  Really, so FULL of smiles!  I got a smile from her in almost every set-up that we did!  I know you can't look at her cute smiles without smiling yourself!  I smiled and giggled the whole time I was editing her session!

She slept through most of her session - until the very end! 

winston salem newborn photography | triad newborn photographers

Baby Paisley was so cooperative with us - we stuck with mostly pastels and neutrals (I snuck in one colorful combination!) for her session, and got to do some Fall shots, and even a sweet Christmas set-up, that you guessed it, she smiled for ♥

What a smiley little one Paisley was!

2013 Halloween Charity Food Drive & Open House


winston salem child baby photographers | child baby photography in winston salem

October is here...which brings along gorgeous foliage, warm sweaters, cozy blankets, cooler weather and pumpkin everything...and Halloween!  Every year, we celebrate Halloween with a fun charity food drive at our studio - this is our 6th year!  We're super excited to be able to do it another year and can't wait to see what our little clients come dressed as this year :-)

This year we're switching things up a bit.  Here's the goal...


Last year, we collected 172 items of food for local families in need for East Stokes Outreach Ministry.  This year, we want to collect even more! 

Instead of bringing one bag of food to have your little one's picture taken for free, then have the opportunity to purchase it, we're going to take it for free AND email you the digital negative with unlimited printing rights! 

**THE CATCH?**  Instead of requiring one bag of food (as previously), we're requiring TWO BAGS of food this year. 
Can be cans, boxes, bags, but please NO glass jars and NO out-of-date food!


With your help, we can make a difference and knock out hunger!


* no appointment necessary *
* no session fee *

* digital image emailed *
* treats for the kids*

winston salem child baby photographers | child baby photography in winston salem
 
 

Bring your child or pet to our studio on Halloween evening in their Halloween costume and receive a free digital image emailed to you!

Halloween Day - October 31st, 2013
4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

*What’s the cost? TWO BAGS of canned food to benefit local families in need!

We are partnering with East Stokes Outreach Ministry to bring smiles to hundreds of local people in need — share a meal, help save a life!

*We're requiring TWO FULL BAGS of canned food to participate this year, so we can be of more help to those who need it.
No out-of-date donations or glass jars, please.

{ the J family } winston salem family photographers


family photographers in winston salem | triad family photography
 
family photographers in winston salem | triad family photography

So I spent an abbreviated evening photographing the J family :-) 
We chose Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, NC for their family session,  and it was the perfect location!  All day we were worried about the overcast skies - and about 15 minutes before their session, the thunder began...so we had to work UBER fast!  


I am not a direct sun photographer - I am all about shade and overcast and cloudy skies!  I don't like harsh shadows in my images or dappled light at all.  Overcast skies bring clouds that create more even light to work with, and you don't have to worry as much about over-exposing the background to get the subject exposed correctly.  The light was perfect, but the wind was picking up, so it was literally wait for the wind, shoot, wait again, shoot!

But their session turned out SO amazing - as indecisive as I can be, it was a major task choosing my favorite images to feature on the bloggie!

One of my favorite images from this family's session is the very last shot that I took as we were all walking back to our cars.  The session had ended, the pressure was off, and everyone relaxed.  I felt that the last moment I captured was how they would spend time together as a family if I wasn't there, lurking behind them ♥
