6 month beauty! Winston-Salem Child Photographer

Do you remember this little girl? I last saw her when she was 3 months and now she's 6 months! I love the first year plan because I get to watch the sweet little babies grow! She's not sitting up on her own yet and she cannot stand being on her belly so we had to get creative and find ways to help prop her up at the park. I believe we succeeded! Don't you just love her? And those CHEEKS!

Enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL Newborn - Winston Salem Newborn Photographer

Meet the sweet and precious 8 day old Mr. "T". I love my job. I'm surrounded by such adorable children all of the time. This little guy was so cute. He kept sucking on his arm and wrist, and those wrinkles..... adorable!! I love watching new parents, the way they look at their little baby, it reminds me to keep looking at mine with that same awe no matter how old they are.
I had such a hard time choosing the sneak peek images so here's more than just a few! Enjoy!

Mom and dad - thank you for letting me photograph your beautiful little boy. Congratulations!

Beautiful 1 Year Old

I have 5 words. Big-Beautiful-Round-Blue-Eyes! Wow. I took pictures of this little girl when she was a newborn and now she's almost 1. She is so stinkin' cute! She's such a petite little thing yet pushed almost everything she could across the floor so she could walk behind it. And happy! I think we changed her clothes about five times and never a complaint from her. She smiled and laughed the entire time. We just kept going since she was willing!
Thank you so much for bringing sweet little "S" to the studio today! Here's a peek...

New proofing gallery and cart!!

I just switched my proofing/shopping cart provider and have it up and running. Some of the galleries are not currently available for viewing. If yours is one of them and you still need to view it please let me know and I will add it for you! I apologize for any inconveniences. I am very excited about the ease with the new proofing site and cart!

On another note, I can't wait for a 1 year session first thing in the morning! I took her newborn pictures. Can't believe it's already been a year...

My Girls

My girls were hanging out with me in the studio while I was doing a little reorganizing so I thought I'd snap a few quick ones of them. I love my babies, they make my heart happy! I hope their sweet little faces make you smile too!

Newborn Pre-booking Special

Oh how I love me a sweet little wrinkly newborn!

If you are pregnant and pre-book your newborn session with me, you will receive a $50 print credit PLUS 25 custom birth announcements!

To receive this special, you must book your newborn session while pregnant. It doesn't matter how far along with the pregnancy you are. But how do you schedule it when you are still pregnant? Simple! Contact me with your due date and I will put it on my calendar. Then, when you have your baby, contact me as soon as possible and I will work you into my schedule within the first 14 days after birth. Newborns are photographed best during the first two weeks after birth to capture their freshly born look and "curl".

The session fee must be paid at the time of booking in order to receive the special. You will receive the birth announcements after the session. This offer cannot be combined with other offers or towards previous session purchases.

If you know someone who is pregnant, please pass this to them so they can receive this great offer!

A note about the deserving mom contest...

You do not have to nominate your mom for the contest, you can nominate any deserving mom that you know! I'm sorry if this was confusing.
