High Point Children’s Photographer – The Fairest of Them All

I’ve always wanted to capture fairy tale themed sessions, I’ve just never had the opportunity to do so. Thinking of adding costumes, and props to do so was way to overwhelming for us to even start the process of being able to offer these very special sessions. Lighting. mood, and location were the next step and I honestly had no idea where to begin looking for a place to do something like this. That is until the day I was invited to a local photography event put on by another very talented photographer in our area. Apparently, I’ve been a member of this group for quite sometime, but have never had (or I suppose made) the time to make it out to any of their gatherings. Things were different for me on this day however, because the location of the shoot made me realize.. what I wanted was sitting right in front of me! I had forgotten we have our very own fairy tale castle right here in the Triad. Ofcourse it cannot compare to castles I grew accustomed to seeing during our 4 year tour in Europe, but it would do just fine for what I wanted right now. Then came the difficult task of finding myself a suitable costume for my daughter to wear. Thanks to a very fabulous and sweet client I had that down in less then a day!

And so it begins.. Forget Me Not Photography fairy tale sessions. Nothing is set in stone right now, but hopefully very soon we’ll be offering complete fairy tale packages for girls and boys of all ages! Stay tuned the next few months as we iron out all the details! Until then, please enjoy my very own little snow white herself.

Greensboro Newborn Photographer – Beautiful Baby N

So you have to know by now, that we love to photograph newborns. Well okay so its not only that, its so fun to have a brand new baby in the studio we get to snuggle and enjoy! 🙂 We’ve been encouraging our clients to get creative lately when booking sessions, especially newborns. We’ve been asking them to bring  keepsakes that mean something special to their family, or might mean something special to their children, who as they get older will remember these photographs and these items in their home and cherish these images even more. I was thrilled to see all the wonderful things that mom brought for me to use during this session. The first, the tiara she wore at her wedding. Can you really think of anything more beautiful and special?!  How wonderful a moment to capture, this new baby girl wearing her mommies wedding tiara. Love!  And she didn’t stop there, she also brought me this gorgeous bread bowl stand from her grandmother that they have in their home. I love making these images truly personal with such special items and I’m thrilled to be able to also share them with you!

My BABY just turned 4! But sadly she’s definitely not a baby anymore…she’s a full grown princess! At least she thinks she is, as do all her sweet friends who came to celebrate together as princesses with a very real princess Rapunzel from Princess Performances!
