Oh boy!

My job is so fun! I get to follow around cuties like Jack and take his picture. Oftentimes, when I am going through shots from a session...I will find myself sitting at my desk...alone....smiling. And not just corner-of-the-lips-turned-up smile, like a cheesy cheesy smile. This was the case when I was going through Jack's pictures. Kids have the most expressive faces! I love it! Cheese at these:).....

Beautiful mama=adorable baby

If this photo doesn't get you into the Christmas spirit, I don't know what will!

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Since today really seems to kick off the official start of the Christmas season, I thought I would post this cute photo! More of this sweet boy to come!

Meredith and Matt- Engaged!

I had the best time with Matt and Meredith on Saturday morning! These two are getting married next summer and I can't wait to celebrate with them! We roamed all around Mooresville to the spots that Meredith had picked out- go her! The field shots are taken at the actual spot where they are planning on getting married....how cool is that going to be?! Um, really cool.

I will be taking the next couple of days to spend time with family and shopping malls, but I do want to end this post with things that I am thankful for...

This year I am so thankful for all of my family and friends that love me so well (they are so tired of talking about LLP it's not even funny). A husband that is an incredible source of love and support for me (I never deserved him in the first place) and for the Lord's amazing hand in my life ( His plan was and is always better than mine). For clients that I love and adore (boy are they cute) and for the chance every day to do something that I love ( thank you thank you thank you) . Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

hi, I would like to bring some sassiness to the engagement shoot? yes, please!

love love love love love this picture.

There are honestly train tracks everywhere I go. It's North Carolina, people. So hey! When in Rome! I love this shot of them, it's like I can feel the love!

Hef and CT- Engaged!

Hef (ok so her name is really Heather, but nobody calls her that) and CT are such a fun and awesome couple! Last week I met them in Shelby for their engagement shoot. Hef works for young life there and CT just moved to town so they could be together. (collective awwwww) But here is the funny thing: both of their last names are Turner. So, Hef won't even have to change her name! Ha! I find this incredibly intriguing. It was so fun to be in Shelby with them and Hef had some great locations picked out- and we even found a couple more along the way. They are going to have their wedding in Shelby next spring and I can't wait! I am crazy in love with these photos....

a little engagement reenactment

Bellyshoot- Karen and Eddie

After a rain out last week, I was finally able to meet up with Karen and Eddie to do a bellyshoot. This is their first baby, they know it is a boy, and I was so excited to meet them and celebrate with them during this exciting time in their lives. They made the drive from Columbia for the Panther's game, so it actually worked out to do the shoot the next day as opposed to the special trip they were going to make for our original shoot date. I just love it when the stars align!

During one the Karen's outfit changes, Eddie, who was so excited to be doing this shoot with his beautiful wife (no, he seriously was super excited-other guys, take note:)) looked at me and said this was just so awesome because he has been in love with Karen since she was 13. Melt my heart! They are such an awesome couple and I hope our paths cross again soon!

Karen, you are stunning.

Loving, as always, this red!

This is when I queued the wind. Check!

a perfect autumn day

I thought I would be able to get this whole post up today- but instead you will have to settle for a little tease! Get ready for more goodies to come!
