Train!

Posted on March 9, 2010

Well it is not my intention to completely terrify a child during a session, but I think I kind of did during this session with “j”. His mom requested we do pics on railroad tracks so I suggested a location where I knew an engine usually sits. We got luckier than we had bargained for! Not only is there an engine sitting there…but the whole train! It was excited to see it sitting there, but when it started moving and blowing the whistle, even the two of us adults were intimidated by all of the power and just overall size of this powerful train. He calmed down after just a few minutes and we were able to get some fun shots on the tracks and around the area. Thanks for a fun morning, j, and for being so brave!

The Wood Family

Posted on November 30, 2009

Well, we photogs need pictures of our family too so when Jenn of Tom Wood Photography proposed a portrait swap I was more than happy! We picked a beautiful Sunday afternoon to get together. I just love their family…such sweet and fun girls!

Here’s a few from the day…

A traditional pose…what a nice, sweet, calm family……

Yeah, Tom’s got his hands full! More love that he can handle!

Now that’s more like it….these girls are too fun!

Sweet shots of just the two of them!

This one cracks me up! This is what we were looking at the entire shoot. It worked…Olivia was grinning to ear to ear at these crazy girls!

The Bo’s

Well Luke and Morgan are just growing TOO fast! It almost brought me to tears to edit these pictures. I have known them since they were born and what sweet babies they were! They are not babies anymore and they are SO much fun! Here’s a few.

This middle shot of Morgan is her in a nutshell! I just love this series!

Happy Halloween!

Posted on October 30, 2009

Just wanted to say a quick “Happy Halloween” to everyone! If you don’t have any plans today, come to the square from 5-7 for the annual candy crawl on Union Square in downtown Hickory. I’m bringing Olivia…so look for us!

Here’s a cutie from last year:

Black and White Session – Nola

Posted on October 7, 2009

During the month of September I offered a new session for Orange Cat Photo called the Black and White Sessions. These sessions occur at my studio in the Harris Arcade in downtown Hickory. Session fee is only $50 and includes the session with a maximum of 4 immediate family member, and an online gallery with 20-25 images to choose from. They were so popular in September I have decided to extend the special through October and November. These sessions are perfect for Christmas gifts, and to use in our custom photo cards. (Orange Cat Designs coming soon!)

Here is baby Nola. She is absolutely adorable! (and already loves shoes!)

A Basket

What is cuter than a baby in a basket?

uummmm…nothing…absolutely nothing!

Happy Fourth Everyone!

Little Jayden

Posted on March 23, 2009

I met little Jayden for the first time a couple of weeks ago and what a precious little boy! A lot of times the images capture them in a way that makes it look as though the kids are very calm and still, which is not always exactly the truth! But this little boy was so gentle and easy going. I just love this image of him! Can you believe those eyes?

Back to School with the Freckled Frog!

Posted on August 8, 2008

Well, it is already time to get ready for school! It is hard to believe that summer is almost over and it is time to sharpen those pencils and get ready to stuff the brain full of knowledge goodness! In order to celebrate this time of year, the Freckled Frog has invited me to join her on August 23rd for a party! Details are below and don’t procrastinate because appointments will quickly fill up!

Little Red

Posted on June 26, 2008

Well, if mom used to be known as “Big Red”, then shouldn’t her son be known as “Little Red”?! Especially if his hair is redder and even brighter than moms! I was in Raleigh last week meeting little red and just had the best time as he showed me his books, his rocks, his grandparents yard…etc. I think he really loves his home and was so anxious to share it with me!

I thought that instead of showing multiple pictures from the session, I would show you a newly designed storyboard. These are so much fun and go perfectly in a child’s room!

Swedish Babies Part II

Posted on January 2, 2008

The next Swedish baby that I have had the chance to meet was also just a bump in a belly last time I was here. My sister-in-law had her second boy soon after we left last year and we have been so excited to finally get to meet him.

He is such a calm and observant baby. He just looks around and takes everything in. Here are a few images of him and his mom and big brother.

This little guy will walk before he ever crawls. He has absolutely no interest in crawling and loves to walk around!

Here are couple with big brother Linus. And when I say big, I mean a seven year old that is almost as tall as me! (okay, so maybe that is not saying much!)

These two just make me laugh!

This image makes me smile.
