Jaida {Portraits}

Meet Jaida! She is a talented and carefree 15 year old actress/singer/dancer (Check out her blog here... http://www.jaidabenjamin.blogspot.com/)

I met up with Jaida and her mom Jocinda in South End. Despite the 90 degree weather, we had a great time taking pictures. In the shot below, I had Jaida rock my Grandmother's vintage sunglasses.. I love it!!

I have some great pictures of Jocinda from this shoot, too! I'll post those soon.

Boggs {Family Portraits}

This past weekend, I traveled to the small town of Shelby, NC, where I spent the afternoon with the whole Boggs family. Uncles, Grandparents, cousins.... you name it and they were there! The photo shoot took place on their family land and was a Mother's Day gift from Kristen (the oldest daughter in the shoot) to her mom. The afternoon was beautiful and I had a lot of fun with this family!!

I love framing the subject (literally). I've collected old frames that I bring along to many of my shoots.

Tia {Portraits}

You might recognize Tia from a family shoot I did in Noda a while back. Tia is a good friend of mine and her life has recently gone through an awesome transformation. She wanted to take some pictures to document the new place her life has taken her. Oh, and we took a few pics of her little dog too... he was a natural :)

I had the opportunity recently to hang out with some fellow photographers in a studio environment. It was my first time in this type of setting and really different from what I'm used to. Thanks to everyone for helping me learn something new :)

Williamson {Family Shoot}

I recently traveled out to the Dairy Barn in Fort Mill for a Mother/Daughter shoot with Elisabeth and Reese. It was a beautiful summer day and Reese enjoyed running around the fields (and especially loved the horses). Here are a few of my personal favs... Enjoy!

A couple of weekends ago I had the opportunity to go out with the Charlotte Photography Portrait Meetup Group shoot couples for engagement shots. I had the good fortune to be paired up with Leia and Ryan. Not only are they GORGEOUS... they are also carefree and have awesome spirits. Here are some of my personal favs.

And then we had a little more fun... Leia and Ryan were GREAT sports!!
