Remember Cooper’s super cute newborn session? Well, this big guy is already three months old, and we met with him & his beautiful family a few weeks ago to help celebrate the occasion. We began the session at their home, and then moseyed over to one of our favorite local coffee haunts, Olde Towne Coffee. Mmm!

Steph and I are still buzzing like busy bees! Today we are shooting a fabulous wedding, full of amazing details! Since it’s Halloween we thought it would be fun to show off some of the costumed cuties from our mini-sessions! We had a blast with each kid – a few you might even recognize – the pirate, Hugh, and the princess (Nyoka) and dragon (Wesley). It was wonderful meeting Miss Abbi (the fairy) and her parents, who said wonderful praises about White Rabbit Studios – which warms our hearts on these chilly nights.

We couldn’t resist turning Wesley’s peek-a-boo into a mini movie!

And who remembers how fun this was as a kid?!

You probably recall Dan and Susan’s maternity session at Lowe Mill from a few weeks ago (if not, here it is!), which we were very happy to shoot. Well, the time has come to meet fifteen-day-old (at the time of the session) Caroline, who is one of the sweetest babies we’ve met to date. She barely protested during the session, despite our many photography requests!

We look forward to seeing the whole family in another three months!

We recently met with Alanna and Chris for a very special photo session — these photos are part of the adoption process that they are beginning together. They told us they needed photos for a short photo book & a website that’s all about them, which perspective birth mothers will see while making their decision. These photos needed to represent the two of them as they are — a secure and loving couple looking for a baby — and also show their interests, such as running and playing ultimate frisbee.

To say that we are honored to be any part of this process is an understatement. It is truly beautiful to be at the beginning of a family’s growth from two to three, and we look forward to hopefully meeting the little one once he or she makes its way into the lives of Chris and Alanna.

You know what? I’m not going to hide it — sometimes, when a person inquires with us, Ashley and I totally Facebook them to see what we can learn. I think part of the reason we do this is that we usually end up hanging out with our clients several times after their sessions/weddings, and become real life friends with them, so we like to get an idea of who we’re about to meet. I’m bringing this up because as soon as we received Kim’s inquiry about a family session, we immediately looked her up and found her website, Miss Zoot, which made us even MORE excited to work with these five.

Ashley and I are both bloggers (Ashley writes Hi-Fi Weddings and the Vertical House blog, and I have Casa de Kaloi and edit Offbeat Mama.), so we were pumped about meeting another blogger in real life. Before I go further, I need to say it’s indescribably hilarious to walk into a house that you have seen online, meet kids who you have read about and never met, and then hang out with a family that you have learned about via the Internet. Totally wacky, totally awesome, totally crazy — kind of like this family!







And just in case the still photos weren’t enough, here’s a stop motion peek of how fun this fam is!
