This year is our first Christmas with Sweet Maggie and we are so excited! We fully realize that she will be more interested in the wrapping paper then the gift itself, but that's all part of the fun.

Maggie is in awe of our Christmas tree and loves any opportunity to get up close and personal with it. It's the most beautiful thing to see the world through your child's eyes-everything is so new and wonderful! As you can tell by the pictures, she is really getting into the Christmas spirit :)

We hope for you that this Christmas will be filled with much joy and many memories!

Kevin and I have a seriously happy little girl! While I was out Christmas shopping, these two were having some fun Daddy-Maggie time and there's a video to prove it :)

I hope this brightens your day!

Jenny and Bobby are such a fun couple and we are super excited about their December 19th wedding coming up in a couple weeks! We had and exceptionally cold day for their e-session, but you can't tell at all from the pictures...there was plenty of warmth between these two!

Meet Lulu, she just might be the happiest baby alive. Lulu and her family were so much fun to photograph and this sweet girl simply illuminated the camera!

I am a big fan of all the color in this shoot, gorgeous!

Such a happy girl!

We had the pleasure of photographing Derek and Renata's wedding on Topsail Beach, NC.
These two are a delight and we are thrilled to walk away with some wonderful new friends! They will be returning to Renata's native country, Brazil, for a fabulous Brazilian reception sometime next year. Kevin and I are hoping to be smuggled over in their luggage to take part in what is sure to be a wonderful time!

Derek and Renata have amazing families that are both loving and strong. Without question, it has helped to shape them in to the beautiful people they are today. It was a joy to be around such gracious people.

Derek, his brothers, and father, have a wonderful family owned fencing company, Hampstead Fence. They built an awesome fence for us, and we definitely recommend their services to anyone in need of a fence!

I was able to stay with the beautiful girls, while Kevin went to see the guys.

Renata is gorgeous. And being that she is Brazilian, she has a double threat of Brazilian gorgeousness. She is a natural girl, laughing easily and often; and even if you have only just met her, you feel as though she is an old friend.

She has a hard time not laughing.

About to walk down the aisle, so much joy!

These next two images are so sweet. Derek and Renata wrote their own vows and they were very moving. Derek was saying his vows first, and getting pretty choked up in doing so. After he finished, Renata pulled him to her and kissed him on the cheek-it was such a beautiful moment.

I think this image is so touching.

Are they not adorable?

Renata's parents traveled from Brazil to be a part of her wedding day. I loved their father-daughter dance-it gives a brief glimpse into their relationship. Just beautiful.

Congrats you guys, we are thrilled for you!!!
