The "J" Family { Winston Salem Family Photographer }

The "J" family were willing to be my guinea pigs for a Sofa Session idea...

We carried out the antique sofa from our waiting area and used it for the "J" family's session. I absolutely LOVE the way the photos look - casual, natural and a fresh & fun twist on family portraits!

After the family shots, we let little "T" run around and play and got some gorgeous shots of her in the grass!

Funny Little "W" { Winston Salem Children's Photographer }

I laughed my butt off at little "W" during his 9 month session. He was SOOO happy and full of smiles. He did great indoors and outdoors, but was determined to eat the grass outside! We had some colorful apples that were so realistic, little "W" decided to take a bite of one of them!

We went back inside and his mom put him in his Halloween costume, which was TOO cute. A turtle - complete with gloves/paws! It was soooo funny to watch him crawl around with a shell on his back, then he fell over on his shell and couldn't get back up! He was the cutest little guy! Here's a sneak peek for mom...

What a weekend...and two fuzzy cuties!

Our first year at Rock the Block in downtown Winston Salem was long (16 hours!) but FUN! We met SO many people - it was great! We were a bit unprepared, though...we ran out of business cards before dark!

The morning started out breezy, well take that back, gusty! Everything was blowing over, balloons were popping and I couldn't set out anything on easels! Finally, the wind died down around noon and I was able to set up all of our goodies. We had no clue what to expect, but we were SHOCKED when people started coming in. And coming in. And coming in. I was thinking maybe a couple thousand people would show up, but even after dark, the streets were literally packed shoulder-to-shoulder. It was so tight, like a sold-out concert! Crazy! When I picked up the Sunday paper, the story was on the front cover and they said by 4pm on Saturday, they had already exceeded last year's attendance of 40,000 people! They haven't released final attendance numbers yet, but I can't wait to see what they were!

On Sunday, we got up and packed up for an early morning pet session at Old Salem. The dogs were SO funny - "Stewie" got off of his leash and started to run, so my husband ran after him, not knowing that he LOVED to be chased, LOL. Stewie would run a couple feet, then stop and look back to see if my husband was still chasing him. I laughed the WHOLE way home about that. I love working with animals, just like people, they each have their own personality and things that they enjoy doing. For Stewie, it was being chased :-)

Here are a few sneak peeks from Stewie and Putter's session...

Pretty Little "P" { King, NC Children's Photographer }

Wow! We've been so busy working on the studio and going to festivals that I just realized how long it's been since I've blogged! Sorry guys! We are putting the finishing touches on the studio and will post some pics soon! Promise! You can come visit us this Saturday, September 18, from 11am to 11pm at Rock the Block in Downtown Winston Salem.

For now, have a look at this beautiful little one who visited our studio this week for her 2 year portraits. She was such a busy little one, but fun and playful...she had a blast playing outside barefoot in the grass!

Beautiful Little "M" { Winston Salem Newborn Photographer }

Beautiful little "M" was only two weeks old at her session and already starting to hold up her head on her own! I was shocked! She did great and dozed a little in-between shots. She was such a beautiful little girl! Here's a sneak peek for mom and dad...

Daisy { Winston-Salem Pet Photographer }

We had a blast working with Daisy and her "human" parents! She was wide open and SO curious! We had to be quick about getting the shots we wanted, especially the shots of her in the pink pail :-) But her pictures turned out TOO CUTE and Daisy looked adorable on polka-dots!

Cute Little "T" { Winston Salem Newborn Photographer }

Cute little "T" did SO good during his newborn session! He didn't cry ONCE, or fuss during clothing changes...he did "grunt" a lot, which was really cute! I even had to stop photographing for a second because I was giggling so much, lol. He dozed during the session and I got some really cute shots. My favorite is the one without a hat below - okay, and I love the sleepy smirk, too!

Sweet "C" { Winston Salem Children's Photography }

Sweet "C" had grown SO much since I did her 3 month portraits, I almost couldn't believe it! She looked absolutely ADORABLE in a tutu and pearls, and I got lots of awesome shots of her beautiful blue eyes :-)

Sweet Little "B" { Winston Salem Children's Photography }

Sweet little "B" came to the studio for her 6 month session and got to be a star! She had lots of outfit changes and different hats to wear, but I think she was happiest rolling around on the fuzzy rug playing with her feet and hanging out in just her diaper, lol! I got some adorable shots of her gazing into the camera lens! Her pictures are really pretty in color, but gorgeous in black & white!
