After several requests and the urging from friends, I decided to head down to my home state of North Carolina to hold a couple of photography sessions. Several of my fellow photographer friends down in NC recommended the Duke Gardens (on the Duke University campus) as a wonderful place to hold sessions! Let me just tell you.. the gardens were breath-taking! I swear I must have run into atleast 15 photographers there.. photographing anything from plants to wildlife to weddings! In there midst of all the other sessions, as well as garden visitors, I had a beautiful (& muggy) day of sessions! It was great to catch up with some old friends as well as make some new ones! Thanks to everyone that came out. I enjoyed working with all of you!

First up.. busy Mr. T! This little man was a nature lover. He had a blast chasing rabbits & ducks!

The other great news… he is going to be a big brother!

During my 2nd session, I got to catch up with a UNC friend of mine! She has two totally cute little boys who cracked me up the whole time. They were so happy to hug and show off for the camera. Mr. J, despite having a broken arm, brought his A game. On a side note, sometimes I do pull out potty humor to get smiles from little ones.. most of the time it works, but Mr. J informed me that I was using potty words and that isn’t nice! This little man totally cracks me up! I think he made me smile more that I made him smile!

For my 3rd session, I got a little break in that I didn’t have to chase any kids around. I did a “love shoot” for another friend of mine from UNC. She actually got married last year, but I missed the wedding b/c I had just had Josie! It was fun to hang out with my friend and her husband & I enjoyed getting to see another side to their relationship!
