Christmas Cards and Gift Certifcates-Cary, NC Photographer

As promised on Facebook, I have taken pictures of some Christmas cards (OK, mine and my mom's).  I'm absolutely thrilled by the way they turned out.  The pictures do not do them justice.  They have this beautiful, soft pearlized sheen to them.  I did flat cards instead of the traditional folded cards so that my recipients can just use the back picture after the holidays have passed.  They can frame it if they'd like.  If this is something you are interested in having done, there is still time.  Contact me as soon as possible so I have time to design the cards.

I also received my gift cards from the printers as well today.  They make excellent Christmas gifts.  Who wouldn't like the gift of pictures.  If this is something that would be perfect for a family member, contact me and I can get one to you right away.

Water Wheels and Family Pictures-Cary, NC Family Photographer

I met again with the M family on Sunday for their holiday portraits.  You might remember Mister S.  He was one of the first imps that I photographed when I started my business. 

This is such a fun family to work with and for.  Their love for each other is very evident.  Mister S just wanted to collect and throw rocks into the water.  He really didn't want much to do with the camera.  But who could blame him.  There was so much exploring to do at this location.  We were able to get in our pictures before the rain fell so I was thrilled about that.  I hope you enjoy their sneak peek.

The M Family at Sarah P. Duke Gardens-Durham, NC Family Photographer

Let me start this post by saying that I'm not a Duke fan... but I love their garden.  The Sarah P. Duke Gardens are so lovely that it doesn't matter what time of the year that you visit you will find something that you will fall in love with.  When the M Family suggested this as the site for their holiday portrait, I was so excited.  I was a little chilly this morning but that didn't put a damper on anyone's mood.  Mister A and Miss A were absolute joys to work with.  Miss A took a little bit of coaxing to get her to smile and look at the camera but I did manage to get some shots of her doing both.  I'm not sure if she did ever see Cinderella, Jaques and Gus-Gus ever pop out my lens but she did try to see them.

I hope you enjoy the sneak peek and I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving.

The C Family Sneak Peek-Cary, NC Family Photographer

One of the wonderful thing about living in Cary and photographing in Cary is all the wonderful town owned and maintained parks and greenways.  I met with the C Family yesterday for holiday portraits.  They wanted outdoors pictures and it was so easy to do this.  The back of their house butts up to one of the many greenways.  We started in their backyard and then moved on the the greenway for a walk.  There were so many lovely places to pose for pictures-a tunnel, bridges, piles of yellow leaves and cool painted picnic tables.  The love this family has for one another is so evident.  I think it totally shows up on film.  Little Miss B had fun collecting leaves and helping me take some pictures.  I hope you enjoy their sneak peek.

Big Sister, Little Sister-Cary, NC Child Photographer

I went to take pictures this morning of sweet, new Miss T and big sister Miss P.  They are the most beautiful and precious little girls.  You could see how much Miss P loves being the big sister.  Miss T was an absolute delight.  After getting a full belly of milk, she slept and let me pose and play with her as much as possible.  I hope you enjoy this sneak peek.

Head Shot Sneak Peek-Cary, NC Photographer

This afternoon, I took some headshot photos for a realtor friend.  She's such a beautiful woman, that it made my job very easy.  I couldn't have paid the weather gods for more perfect weather.  Gorgeous blue skies and the perfect temperature.  I think you will like these pictures for Mary's new website.
