visiting wrigley
We went over to visit our dog we no longer own in July and I just can’t get over how big she has gotten. She was just a little excited to have some company over and was running around like crazy with the boys on one of the hottest days of the year. The poor puppy just wanted to go back inside and lay by the a/c. Smarty.
Thanks so much to Wrigley’s family for the visit as always!
Always so smiley, even when hot. And yes, I still miss her but so glad she’s in a great home with lots of love. And we get to visit.
Pictures and story from the California & Arizona adventure will be up on the blog soon. Shooting for next week- but we have a weekend full of very fun activities planned including 2 reunions, so we’ll see it all works out. I do promise the vacation pictures will be on the blog before Christmas though. -
the schwa family
its been a few years since I photographed this awesome family and I was so happy that they called me for a session this year before their oldest daughter leaves for college this month as a freshman at UNC. A last family portrait before everything changes. It was such a fun night at the beach and they all seemed to have a wonderful time together. There were a few “moments” for mom- I’m not looking forward to the day when I have two ready to go to college. Although 4 years isn’t a very long time at all.
As much as I love the red hair (and I do love it so!) I had to do one in black and white.
The (almost) college freshman!
Momma and her girls. 
You go mom!!

the marc kids (& mom)
You might remember this completely adorable family from their lifestyle newborn session a few months ago. Mom thought she’d capture her little family almost 6 months later as they grow and change. She wasn’t going to be in the photos but what can you do when your baby boy doesNOT like the grass. You hold him. A lot. And I work really, really fast to get a shot or two before smiles change quickly to tears.
And this one? More gorgeous every time I see her!

the wool family
This was a session I was seriously excited for. Caren & Tim were “my” bride and groom back in 2010 for their wedding in Jamaica and since then, they’ve welcomed a beautiful baby boy (who is now just over a year old) into their family. They live far away in upstate New York, but come down every summer to visit family & friends. When they contacted me to do a session for them, I was super excited to not only see them but to meet and photograph Owen for the first of what I hope to be many times. Of course the session had to be at the beach! But someone was not a fan of the sand. Or the water. Made for an interesting session, but we got it done with singing, food, a lot of time being held and tickles for smiles.
Snuck in a sitting in the sand shot super quick before he realized he was in the sand. 
Ha!
He disliked the sand and water so much he went all flamingo and tried only standing on one foot.

the burk family
A brand new to bsquared family who’s session we had to reschedule maybe 3 or 4 times (I lost count) due to rain, severe heat, sicknesses x2 or 3. But we finally got it in and meeting little miss D was well worth the wait. Such a great, happy family! They chose a session at home (which is always so fun for me- I love seeing where my clients live and love) and we finally got a decent evening where everyone was healthy. My favorite thing? She whistles. Like really, truly whistles. The cutest thing ever from such a little girl!
So tell me how you really feel about photos…
The other baby.
They don’t really like to be too close together, so this was a perfect compromise.
The picture on the right is her whistling.
