the n family :) {winston-salem: family lifestyle photographer}

a little over a week ago, i had the utmost pleasure of photographic the lovely n family.  this family has so much grace about them.  gorgeous couple with super adorable kids.  mrs. n takes me back to the 50-60's with her presence.  he is in the army and was home on a little reprieve before heading back to korea.  but he will be home after the new year and then they will go to fort campbell, ky.  but they are so sweet and loving.  and they wanted pics of the 2 kiddos and the two adults and then the family.  love that.  they really focused everything on the family as a whole unit, as well as showing their patriotism for their county.  thank you for all that you do for your country n family.  here is a little sneak of them.  hope you all enjoy!!!  :)

the super lovely p family!

i seriously believe in the 5 degress or less of seperation!!!  the p family was referred from a good friend of mine!   but we also have other aquaintences in common, an old college roommate, and her husband used to work the same engine (gfd) as my neighbor!  such a small world. 

we met up at the bicenteniel park in greensboro  it was another hot and sticky summer day but lovely as the sun was going down. :)  mama p was so prepared.  she fed the boys in the car before the shoot (with no clothes on).  so smart.  the boys had full bellies and they didn't mess up their clothes in the process! lol!  and this family was a dream to work with.  they were sooooo laid back and just let the boys run around and have a good time.  my kind of shoot.  we got some super cute candids in the process, my fav's!  and those boys were so, so good.  the baby is almost one and he is super fearless!!! 

so happy to have the pleasure of meeting them and taking some family pictures in the process!  xoxo

miss m...senior no more!

so first let me apologize for not blogging like i should be. :(  i enjoy blogging and letting everyone see what is new and going on in CKP land.  and thank you all for being a part of it.

so a couple weeks ago, i met the lovely miss m.  let me just saw that this was a photographers dream.  a lake, horses, trucks, fields of flowers, dogs, and sooo much more.  i had such a good time.  miss m is so nice and sweet and so pretty!  first we drove the golf carts to the lake to do some shots.  i commented on how pretty the color of the lake was and what do you know...her dad dyed it for the photo shoot for her!  love it.  then we drove the carts to a place by a fence and then we travelled along the fields, did some pics with her granddad's old truck, and her boyfriend, dogs and ended up with her dad using a fork lift to lift her in the biiiiiiiiiiig tree!!!  soooo much fun!

anywho, i call her 'senior no more' cause she graduated a couple weeks ago and will be attending the land of the gamecocks in the fall.  good luck with all you do m!

one thing that i love to see is if my clients and i have the same tastes in photos.  i love to recieve orders to see if they are a match.  i often think about the vision of the photo in my favorite ones.  one of my fav's was the top left picture by the lake.  she ordered blank cards to use for 'thank you's' and for stationary.  just a reminder to all my clients: i can create invites, cards, or any other special orders you may have!  just let me know what you are looking for.

it is such a small world we live in!  i first met mrs. c over the phone and we got to chatting... and you won't believe this, but we went to the same elementary school at the same time!  how crazy is that???  and they have extended family that still live in jacksonville.  crazy! :)  anywho, we met up at the greensboro bicenntinel gardens.  i love that place, it's so lush and pretty.  and add a super cute and sweet family, and it's was a great time!  baby e is six months old and he is sooooo sweet.  he never once got upset.  and he has got the prettiest brown eyes.  here are a couple of my fav's.  thanks again C fam for letting me have the opportunity to take pics of your beautiful family!!!! :)

the blair kiddos!

so the day after i did miss m, i headed down to one of my favorite places, raleigh, to see an old childhood friend!  i have known sarah since my parents moved us from little washington to jacksonville when i was 5.  we grew up about 1 mile from each other and went to nc state together too.  she still lives in raleigh and now she has two sweet little men! :)  they are soooo handsome and look just like her!  i was so happy to finally do this shoot too.  we had to reschedule due to bad weather and sickness so it was nice to do this for them.  aren't they just adorable?????  at 2 1/2 mr. d is fun and so cute, we chased a squirrel around the park.  and mr. s is sooo adorable and never once cried.  :)  i miss the days when my babies were babies like that.  i accidently let him tumble over when he was sitting up.  :(  but he did sooooo good for a sweet 6 month old.  enjoy!

miss m. rose :)

so a couple weekends ago i had the pleasure of meeting another senior, miss m.  oh my, she was the sweetest thing.  she reminded me of two of my old hometown friends that i grew up with put into one.  because of her personality and looks.  it was kinda surreal.  anywho, we was so fun.  we met up at old salem (one of my favorite spots) and her parents are awesome too.  she is going to go to high point university next year.  not toooo far from home :)  but here is another sneak from the day:

the N kiddos! :)

hey! :)  sorry i haven't blogged in a while.  things are busy.... busy good! :)  but i wanted to share this duo from a shoot i did about 2 weeks ago.  we couldn't of asked for better weather either! 
this brother and sister were so fun.  it's so funny to see other's kids because they are like "yeah, we had a little chat in the car, so they should be good for you".  i have had those conversations myself! LOL!!!  they didn't want to move or do anything wrong.  it was hysterical.  it took a while to get warmed up and i had so much fun with them.  they were up for anything! :)  sweet miss d wanted to wear her Easter dress and i love that mr. j pretended to be toooo cool to touch his sister or show her any affection! :)  lol!!! kiddos.  gotta laugh!
