This sweet family was my first morning session EVER! Haha, and what a way to go, too! They were fantastic! Sweet baby O was just a doll and so happy, and his big brother is definitely one of the best brothers I've ever seen! This family has so much love, it just radiates in their beautiful smiles and it made me happy just to be around them! We met at Raven Rock State Park in Lillington NC for this session, and though it was a bit of a chilly fall morning, we had a great time. The leaves were gorgeous and everything about the area made me want to go back and do it all again!

These two were so relaxed & fun for their entire session! I LOVE couples in love, seriously. These two are still kinda in that newlywed phase, and it's just my favorite thing in the entire world. THey wanted some photos for their formal wedding this winter, and I was more than happy to oblige! We had such a good time doing all kinds of creative, different, fun poses for this couple & of course, all those loving, romantic photos I love so much. This location was just spot on for their outfits as well. She did so good dressing them! ;)

I hope y'all enjoy this warm, sunlit engagement session as much as we did! I just LOVE it.

From the very first phone call with these guys, I was SO stoked about their wedding. Yeah - before they even booked! I mean...who doesn't love a good beach wedding? It was my first beach wedding, and by far my favorite wedding ever! This was one of the most beautiful styled weddings I've ever seen though. Elijah and Khary {and their groomal party} did it all themselves! There were candles and seashells and beautiful photos everywhere, not to mention the table runners & decorations matched the stunning beach house colors! PERFECT.

Elijah wasn't joking when he told me & my second shooter that this would be one of the most diverse weddings we'd ever see ;) Both sides had groomsmaids and groomsmen, one of the grooms' fathers officiated the ceremony, the groomal party all wore white with the grooms, and their puppy Titus was the ring bearer! They even had a sign before going down to the beach that Titus had left his shoes in Florida & for everyone else to do the same for the ceremony. Titus really was an amazingly well-behaved pup. He even shook my hand - but we all know what a dog lover I am ;)

After the ceremony, we got to steal the groomal party away for photos. These guys were really up for anything. My favorite photo of the evening is probably the chest bump - this was a specific request from Elijah, but at the last minute I got the bridal party to stand in the background so they'd be visible too. I couldn't be happier with the way their photos turned out!

I could NOT get over how beautiful the ceremony location was, until I went in to the 6 bedroom beach house on Caswell Beach. I mean...wow. Three floors of beautifully decorated EVERYTHING! Every table you looked at had a gorgeous array of seashells & engagement photos, all kinds of beachy things. I've never taken so many detail shots in my life - but then again, I've never had so many beautiful details to photograph! Kudos to this couple for creating a wedding worthy of Style Me Pretty and Southern Bride & Groom Magazines. Kudos to them for this beautiful love they've got. Kudos to their families and friends for being so so sweet to me and my second on this gorgeous day. Congratulations you guys, I'm so very happy for you & I wish you nothing but the best! Thank you so much for letting me be part of this perfect day!

This fun family session is definitely one of my favorite from this fall! Not only are they absolutely GORGEOUS, but we did our fair share of laughing along the way :)

Seriously - when it came time to do some 'mom and dad only' photos, mom goes 'bye, Felicia!' to their daughter and all of us just died laughing! Their daughter's outfit was just DARLING to boot! And would you believe it, a dad who LOVES taking photos? This woman definitely hit the jackpot!

I loved this rustic, country feeling location for this session, and the sunlight came through the trees more perfectly than I could have imagined. Loved it, and hope to work with you guys again in the future! <3
