Vice Family :: Family Photos :: North Wilkesboro NC

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter you would see that at the beginning of June I had my first double wedding weekend which consisted of travelling to North Carolina on Friday where the night before the wedding I photographed the groom with his family. They hadn't had any family photos in about 10 years and felt it was about time. 

As I drove up the first thing I noticed was how pretty their 

gardening/landscaping was. Their home was so cute and quaint. 

The first thing I was requested to do was take a picture that would emulate one that was taken at their previous session. It was almost depressing to see how much little ones can change in a matter of 10 years. I wish I had a copy of the original to be able to show you the difference.

I am not sure what kind of tree this is behind them but I love it! I have always loved weeping willows but they  suck up too much water (I am told) and these look just as appealing.

Don't they look lovely?

 Ahhhh! Laughing. My favorite. ;)

As they were walking and "talking" they couldn't help but focus their attention on their son as he would be getting married the next day.

As we walked around the house, I discovered that the sun was positioned most perfectly on the horizon. I love how these turned out.

Then who can resist a beautiful big old tree?

They have recently celebrated 25 years of marriage. Personally, when I first saw her I thought she was the sister of the groom, not his mom. Some people just don't age as rapidly as others.

 :)

This one had a 70's feel to it and I just had to go for it in my processing. I like how it turned out.

Cornell Family - Family Portraits - New York

For your Wednesday viewing pleasure, I bring you a family session of an old friend of mine.

I flew to New York in September to spend time with them and document this time in their family before their number of four turned to five. At that time they lived in a little town on the edge of the Catskills.

We started out in town for a few fun shots and then. . .

. . .and then we headed to a little spot that used to be a train station for some beautiful shots.

These two are some of my favorites of the family.

This little guy wanted to show me how he could "transfer" his eyeballs.

I LOVE how this shot turned out with the sun and the trees in the background.

This is so typically them and how lovingly goofy they all are together. Looking at these again makes me wish they didn't live so many states away.

One more fun one for the road.

Ethan Aberra - One Year Old - Stockbridge Georgia

I'm so behind in my blogging that this gorgeous little boy is now closer to 18 months now than 1 year but I couldn't resist showing off how gorgeous this little guy is.

The many expressions of Ethan. :) He is such an expressive little guy.

They made a point that they must have pictures of him walking now. It amazed me how fast he picked up on the whole walking thing. He was barely walking at 9 months and then he's an expert by one year.

Ethan and his gorgeous Aunt Hannah.

Playtime.

I love this shot on the left. I was hanging over the back of the couch to get it. He loves me with the camera around my neck. It's pretty much the only way he recognizes me.

A little peek-a-boo time with mom.

This was the first time that we decided to venture away from the house for family pictures. It was a special occasion, with him being a big one-year-old and all. ;)

Get mommy's nose!

For some reason, I really love this picture.

A little fun on the playground before we headed home.

One last compilation shot showing how this little guy grew over the course of a year. It still amazes me how fast they grow and change in that first year. To me, it just reemphasizes how important it is to document it all before it's gone. I even made him his own little website showing his growth.
