Eben decided to join the circus and walk the tightwire for his birthday!

The boys all got to try the various aparatus - but Eben got a big candle to light for his birthday.

Eben held the candle to a nice balloon filled with Hydrogen from the Einstein’s corner demonstration.

The boys thought it so cool that I could capture the explosion with my camera that I thought I’d offer them this:

The last bang had Magnesium in it for an extra sparkle!

Boy oh - we have a 10 year old now.  All my clients that have been thinking about buying an album now’s the time so we can start that college savings program!

I love witnessing the daily routine of families. These images were taken near Charlotte, NC as part of a family lifestyle session.

I asked permission to sneak in and take a peak at the boys toward the end of their naps (Mia is a light sleeper, so I just waited for her to wake). Can you believe how fortunate I am? I was able to witness this!

Micah rolled over when he heard my shutter click. I said, “oh, did you have a good rest?” He touched his lip and said, “yes.” Then he rolled over and went back to sleep!

But Noah, he would not wake!

Mia wipes a tear from her face as she prepares to face the rest of the day with a heart full of courage!

How do you let a photographer into your life for a day? Can they capture the reality of your life? I feel like I am the type of person who can blend into any situation without causing too many ripples in the water. Kids appreciate that, I think. I shot this set of family lifestyle images in Mooresville, NC which is right by Lake Norman. A really beautiful area!

Here is the first thing I saw in the morning, such a peaceful scene. The boys play until Mel, their mother, gets their breakfast ready.

A quick high five and joke about my crazy name, I hop on the floor and they let me in their lives. Kids are amazing.

In fact, here is my invitation to be Noah’s new best friend!

Ok - I love stories like this, and I hope the video guy got good audio on this….

So Scott’s dad is giving the toast, and he starts slowing down - saying “I was thinking I would try and find one word that would best describe my son.”
So naturally everyone is one the edge of their seat, as he’s really taking a while - like he’s lost his idea - but then he spits it out: GRAND. Ok, so why draw it out….then he follows up with “I’ve always thought of my son as a graaaand son.” and with that I’d like to present the new couple with this gift; and he pulls out a wrapped box. Beth and Scott unwrap it facing them…and everyone wants to know what was in the box….

And so Scott & Beth are cajoled by the audience into showing the gift to everyone

So amid rolling guffaws, cheers and jeers - dad brings his point home!
