I’ve known Beth for a really long time now, but I just had the pleasure of meeting Butler at our session. I COMPLETELY fell in love with him!! I even offered to take him for payment. He is the sweetest boy with so much personality. I seriously want him. Can you tell? I had so much fun with these guys. Beth and I talked non-stop, sometimes I even forgot I was supposed to be taking pictures! Ha! These are my very favorites from our session, enjoy!

I had the pleasure of meeting this family the day after Thanksgiving and I am SO blessed for having met them! I love being around families who obviously have so much love for each other and who enjoy each other so much. It was such a great experience. I left hoping my children grow up to feel the same way about each other. :) These are just some of my favorites from our session….

THANKSGIVING SPECIAL!

Poulk Family | FAYETTEVILLE STEDMAN, NC FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Last weekend’s session with the Poulk family was so much fun! I don’t think I’ve ever worked with twin babies before and these two were so precious and fun. I loved their funny little personalities! We also worked at a location I’d never been to before, which is always so much fun. The fall colors were gorgeous and combine that with a beautiful family and you can’t get anything but pure magic! Thanks Deanna and Chris for trusting me with your family, I really enjoyed you guys and I love your pictures!! I hope you love them too.

I am so blessed for having met this beautiful family. The day I called Kathy to schedule our session, I was right in the middle of making one of the biggest decisions of my life and when I talked with her, it was immediately like I’d known her forever. She was so kind and giving of her time and she helped me right along with my decision. I could not be more grateful to her for that.

And then when I met these three in person, I knew they were people I hope to know for a very long time. They are so loving and wonderful with each other, truly the kind of family that everyone should strive to be. I was so happy when I came home and was looking through all their photos that you could just feel their love for each other radiating out of the pictures. Love. Much, much love for these three!!

These are a handful of my favorites!

Alex & Bryden are Engaged! |FAYETTEVILLE RALEIGH NC ENGAGEMENT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Candace — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 19:12:17 +0000

Alex and Bryden live in Charleston, so planning their Engagement session was a little tricky. Thank goodness, they had a weekend planned in Raleigh, so they just stopped by here on their way back to Charleston last weekend. They are the cutest couple and so funny! I think I laughed the entire session, hopefully they didn’t think I was too goofy. Their dogs are a huge part of their lives and so sweet, so it was a lot of fun having them join in on the fun! I can’t wait for this wedding next Spring, I know it’s going to be a blast!

Enjoy my favorites from their session…

I met Amanda and Eric downtown Fayetteville this past weekend and what an amazing day it was!! The weather and the light were perfect and so was this beautiful couple and their precious dog, Tucker. We had a great time walking around all of downtown and when we ended our session at Veteran’s Park it just could not have been more RIGHT. The flags were flying for Veteran’s Day and it was all just breathtaking. Amanda and Eric, you guys were so much fun, I can only hope you enjoyed our afternoon as much as I did!

Here are my favorites…

Happy Veteran’s Day!

Andrea & David | FAYETTEVILLE JACKSONVILLE STEDMAN NC ENGAGEMENT ANYTIME PHOTOGRAPHER

Candace — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 01:33:12 +0000

Andrea and David made my week last week. They drove all the way here from Jacksonville for a session with me!! And I am sooo glad they did. They are the sweetest, cutest, happiest couple. There is truly no better way to fall even more in love with love than to be around a couple like them. I had a great time with them and I loved all their images so much that I edited a TON of them! Be prepared because this is a very large blog post, but I had a really hard time narrowing it down!!

My favorites…

For those of you who are Nascar Fans… is David not nearly identical to Ryan Newman? I was looking through my lens during this session and I suddenly was like… wait a minute… are you sure your name isn’t Ryan??? And they had NO IDEA who I was talking about! Ha! I must admit I even called him Ryan a few times, which was kind of embarrassing!

I have to say… this dog redeemed my love for dogs last week. My family has had a few bad dog experiences lately and it has made me not so sure about being a dog owner anymore and then Andrea and David brought Desi with them to their session. Wow, what an amazing dog! I wanted to take him home with me he was so awesome. First of all, look at how beautiful he is, then look at what a happy, fun boy he is with his mom! What a great dog!!

I met the Hedgecoe family at their wonderful cabin that is surrounded by gorgeous woods and beautiful ponds. It was such a perfect day and this family made their session so enjoyable!! There was tons of laughing and running and squealing, happy little boys. So much so that my face was almost sore from all the smiling I did when I left!

I truly adore this family. They are so kind and welcoming, I just couldn’t have asked for more!

These are my favorites from our day!
