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 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!
