Babylove

I always love to be around newborns...the little noises, the floppiness, the sweet smell and on and on. I miss all of those things as my little ones are growing up so quickly! That is why I feel so lucky to get to experience this time over and over with my amazing clients. Anyway, this little girl was so beautiful! She had the fullest lips and sweetest little face. I also got to chase around her energetic 2 year old sister who is just cute, take a look!

Maternity at Sunset

I love, love these! I had the best time with some of my great friends "J" and "L". I love sunset and the amazing colors the light can create. The "B" family let me make some crazy suggestions for time, locations and things to bring, but you can see it turned out amazing...thanks guys for following along with my crazy ideas. This couple is so musically talented and are integral part of our church worship team, both have been taking guitar lessons and are using the musical gift they were given, so we incorporated their love of music in these photographs...I'm sure baby "B" will be serenaded often! We all can't wait to meet baby "B" and shower her with love. with love, Cory

Mother's Day

Do you know a special woman who would love the gift of custom portraiture this Mother's Day? It is such a special gift to give a moment in time; a portrait session of her beautiful children, even portraits of her holding them, kissing them, playing with them, and cherishing this time in their life for the years to come. What better time to give that special mom a gift certificate to use on a custom portrait session.
Purchase a gift certificate for Mother's Day, and you will receive an 8x10 portrait and 4 wallets as our gift to all the amazing mothers! Best wishes, Cory & Kristin

100 DAYS old

Okui-hajime is an important Japanese tradition for the celebration of babies.
When a baby is 100 days or 120 days old, its parents have the ceremony, inviting their relatives and friends. They serve a wonderful dish to their baby.
`Okui` means 'to eat' and 'hajime' is a Japanese word meaning 'to begin'. The "Z" family celebrated this special occasion as family came to visit all the way from Japan. It was a great experience to photograph a significant event for the "Z" family; who also have a Japanese inspired nursery that was so beautifully decorated as you can see below. Thanks "Z" family! ~Cory

One Quick Shot

Here's one little glimpse of Australia...which is probably what you think of when you think of Australia...kangaroos!  This cutie is from the Australia Zoo (zoo of the late Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter).  I know it's not scenery, but it's a start and we just loved the kangaroos.  At the zoo you can pet and feed them...which I think I loved as much as the kids!  We also had the joy of seeing one out of the window of our house one day...God is amazing in his creation!  Enjoy and more to come soon!

I'm Back

I've been back in North Carolina for a little over a week now and have been hiding from blogging.  I have had such a hard time getting adjusted back to real life, that I feel like things have been out of control.  Anyway, I promise to blog my Australia photos very soon, but for now, here are some more photos from the maternity session I promised more of before I left.  It's good to be home!

Springtime! New Birth

Springtime blossoms are here! I have to say spring is my favorite season. The blue skies, the flowers, the trees sprouting new leaves...it makes me in awe of God's creation. Another amazing part of creation is the miracle of a new life...a new baby will soon be born to the "H" family.

It was great to be outside at the gardens on a beautiful spring day with "L" and "P". They were a very fun couple expecting their first baby. There are some funny shots of Dad that I may just have to post later, this little girl will sure have fun and be so loved. ~Cory

Wonder, Hope....

This loving couple is counting down the days for the arrival of their little baby girl. The excitement is in their face, their voice, and the most beautiful nursery prepared for this little girl. I can't wait to see them again and to photograph their sweet baby in her first few days with them. See you soon "T" family, hope you enjoy these next few days of great expectation and sleep! ~Cory
