The air was crisp, the clouds were heavy, the sun was fading, but nothing that afternoon could dull the sparkle of a Christmas session with the Winsteads. As I got to Ashley and Jeremy's house I had a strange sense of deja vu. The only thing missing was the big white tent and the cute signs pointing to where their wedding took place. You know what was even more perfect about photographing Ashley and Jeremy.... Ashley greeted me with fresh homemade brownies... and in that moment I realized I had the best job ever.  

(note to clients... if you bring me brownies.. I will edit your pictures faster! ... only kidding ;) I do love homemade baked goods though! )

After weeks of planning a fun and girl inspired maternity session with Morgan we finally got to meet up and celebrate the coming up baby daughtridge! Morgan had lots of fun ideas as to where she wanted to have her pictures taken.... including a few minutes in a Laundry mat... now I know it is unconventional ... but it was so much fun.. and her family owns it, so it was top on her list of fun places to do pictures! 

Morgan and Matt have already received their pictures so I thought it was definitely time to share them with you! Congrats to you both! Can't wait to meet your bundle of joy! 

You know when you mean to do something like blog the cutest family session and you forget to do it.... well that is exactly what happened with this sweet session! I met Cricket a few years ago when we were both approached to work with the Young Professionals Network in Rocky Mount. Cricket is one of the most Organized people I have ever met, and talk about on top of everything even while chasing a toddler around! I had so much fun with Cricket, Brandon, & Max in downtown Rocky Mount. Max is a lover of trains so we decided to take pictures down by the train station. It was just our luck that we got to watch a train go by... which Max LOVED! 

The Hilburn family was such a joy to photograph! So much fun, so much love, and lot's of energy! Hope you enjoy the images!
