Sabino Family Photos!

Hello again! This post just makes me smile. Mostly because I love this little guy so much! Last year I got to keep him once a week, and I miss our play time together! I actually saw him today with his Grandma, and it reminded me that I should put these up:-). I had a great time out at the JC Raulston Arboretum with little Luca and his mom and dad. Every time I photograph kids it is such a work out! They are so quick and busy! Enjoy the reminder of sunny days on this particularly wet and dreary one!


He's so handsome in his little blue shirt, and he loves his trucks!


He's got a big personality in that little body!




Katie and Ryan, aka Mom and Dad..

That smile for dad is Soooo precious.




These next three are my favorites! I love families that play together and aren't afraid of rolling in the grass!





Everyone should have a cheering section:-)




I hope I get to see more of you guys soon!

Alex and Alicia Get Married!

So, as I promised, I am picking up the pace! Three blog posts in one week! Wowza. Ok, so this super sweet couple is Alex and Alicia. I was so glad to have been able to shoot the wedding of such an adorable pair. You might remember their engagement session in downtown Raleigh last spring. Their wedding day was a hot one, but everyone was a trooper, allowing me to take them outside for photos! Their wedding was at Bayleaf Baptist Church in Raleigh, with the reception at the TPC Wakefield Plantation. I'm excited to finally get this up on the blog, and share a fun wedding day with you!

I arrived really early to photograph Alicia and her bridesmaids at the Estee Salon. This is generally one of my favorite parts of the wedding day, because everyone is amped up with anticipation, and excitement. And I just love witnessing the transformation of the bride into her most beautiful self.

Also, I love seeing and photographing the accessories!

This is the sweetest text I have seen on a wedding day. It is from the Father of the Groom.





The salon had a big bowl of Dum Dums! So fun for a ring shot!


I mostly posted this shot because I love how that wallpaper photographed.

Alex gave Alicia a journal with a letter inside. So sweet to watch her reactions to reading it, and trying not to cry.



Groom + Bride

The fellas..

The ladies..




Married!

I absolutely loved the lighting after the ceremony and this fence. Perfect for wedding party stuff!



Throw in an abandoned house, and I couldn't be more happy!

So sweet!


The Wakefield Plantation was decorated beautifully for the reception. I loved all of the candlelight and flowers. It felt so warm and intimate!


Dancing fun..




I live to photograph little glimpses like this. They look like they are the only ones in the room. I love it!

Relaxing for just a minute before the exit. Precious.


Thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of your day. I wish you guys all the best, and pray the Lord blesses you richly!
