Playing Catch Up /Fayetteville Photographer

As Cory mentioned before, we are currently closed to celebrate the holidays with our loved ones and to just relax and have some “down time.”  That being said, I am still in the process of editing a few sessions as the kids nap.  I’m not stressing or working quickly, but enjoying the lazy days.  We hope and pray that your New Year celebrations are wonderful and that this time has been one of great memories.  I know that I am enjoying the snowy weather here in Michigan and am excited to do an engagement shoot in Chicago next week.  We have so many ideas for the new year and look forward to sharing the year to come with all of you.  May God bless you and take care of you and we hope to hear from you soon!  Here is a peek of a very good looking guy.  We actually did these while I was taking sister’s senior photos.  It has been so much fun to watch him grow and change into a young man. ~Kristin

One More… | Downtown Fayetteville Photographer

As Christmas draws near we hope everyone is near family and celebrating the miracle of Christmas….Christ coming to reconcile us to the Father. We are closed for several weeks as we spend time resting and spending time with family…I did have one last session…one well worth it for this family to be together for the Holidays as Dad returned home from deployment. I had such a great time (I think Kristin and I say that every time :), but it’s true!)…it is such a joy to meet new people to see their lives and the joy and miracle of families. I’ve probably said it before…but I see more and more that I just love to capture the special moments, the laughter, the gazes, the swinging of a child, the silly faces, the special things each family has of their own…the memories you want to imprint in your mind forever! I pray for that as I go to each appointment, that I will capture you and your family as you are and that I will glorify God with this talent…I hope I was able to do that for you “M” family! Merry Christmas! ~Cory

Kristin - These are gorgeous! The feeling in them is so sweet between the family members! Love them Cory!

Christina - You guys did a great job! As the proud Aunt of "D", you guys were able to capture his personality and spirit. He looked adorable as did his beautiful parents! The talented gift of photography that God has blessed you all with is amazing and I am glad that you guys do what you do. You have a powerful message.

A Holiday Miracle /Fayetteville Photographer

So this sweet little thing came into this world very early…she was due in January!  Only 2lbs when she was born, she is truly a little miracle!  She is home and growing by leaps and bounds!  I feel so lucky to have been asked to photograph this completely gorgeous mom and her angel.  ”K” is a stylist at, in my opinion, the hippest, best hair salon in town…Mopheads!  I can’t thank the girls there enough for their continuous support and encouragement as our business has grown over the years.  We owe so much to the ladies of Mopheads… and I owe feeling fantastic about myself to them every 6 weeks!  It is always a treat to go there and be pampered and to shop their super cute boutique.  Anyway, I adore this beautiful little Miss “CG” and her momma and Auntie “X!”  Hope you enjoy the preview…I know you’ve been waiting so patiently :)

Blakely - Kristin, I love these picts! I've been looking forward to seeing them! Love the girls at Mopheads...what would we do without them!!! Miss Charie Grace is growing so beautifully!!! What a miracle from above!

There He Grows…/Raeford Photographer

caldercollageimg_5845shimg_5869mh2img_5879mh2img_5905It’s always amazing to me how quickly time goes by and I get to witness it so clearly through the growth of my little clients.  It seems that just yesterday I was photographing this handsome little man making his entrance into the world…and now he is crawling, smiling, laughing, growling and so much more.  He is such a sweet happy baby and I know that he brings so much joy to the heart of my dear friend “S.”  She prayed for a little boy to go with the gorgeous little girl you see here and her prayers were answered!  I love these guys so much and am thankful for the opportunity to capture them as they grow.

Jeannie Dehring - What beautiful, happy children! I've enjoyed holding them when I had the opportunity.

stephanie reimers - Thank you for your beautiful work. I love them all!

Downtown Senior /Fayetteville Senior Photographer

I waited for a long time to photograph this gorgeous senior.  We were finally able to get downtown on a cloudy, misty day that was a bit cold for the shorts she wore…but it worked out fabulous as you can see!  I have said it time and time again, but I love to photograph seniors!  They are so full of life and ready to take on the world…it is refreshing.  I do love to meet up with another artistic mind…the lovely “V” is quite theatrical.  Look for her on the big screen someday!

Model Material /Southern Pines Photographer

img_4492urimg_4411suimg_4415mvimg_4456tximg_4479urtximg_4354cmimg_4367vwThe main focus of this shoot was getting some photos for this year of these awesome kids.  As you can see, we did sneak mom and dad in for a couple just for their holiday cards.  I have to say that I had a blast!  The urban setting and being able to direct my subjects is my element…I thrive on it!  What made it even more special is that this family are friends of ours.  They are our neighbors in fact and lovely “A” is one of my kiddo’s fav babysitters.  I was so thrilled that she “funked it up” a bit in her attire for our shoot.  It made it so much fun…thanks for trusting me “A.”  And what a great guy “T” has turned into.  He let me take him into some crazy places for my shots.  Thanks again “L” Family for the fun and for being such wonderful friends!

Mary - Great pics, Ailex looks so beautiful!

Kim - Thank you so much Kristin! These photos are super. We love you and Ailex (and Tyler - but he's way to cool to say so) said she had a lot of fun modeling!

Jeannie Dehring - What great pictures of a wonderful family! Some model material here too, I'm sure!

Love at First Sight… /Fayetteville Newborn Photographer

img_5295vintageimg_5283vhimg_5256bwvYou may remember a few months back the post of one of my closest friends who was pregnant with twins…well here they are!  Meet some of the most beautiful babies ever!  It took a while for little man to come home from the hospital, but after he did, we jumped on the photos!  It was so much fun putting little Miss “L” in the flower headband.  Doesn’t she look like an angel?  And Mr. “A” was so sweet and good.  He loves his sister so much he didn’t mind all the scratching and kicking she was doing while she was protesting us trying to prop her on his back!  Anyway, I know that the family has been waiting so patiently to see some of their photos…I hope they are happy with the preview.  These sweet little ones will never lack in love.  They are surrounded by the best parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and church family to shower them with love.  Love you all so much!

Kristy - Kristin- I love the pics you are so awesome!! Thanks so much for spending so much time with them. I love you and am very grateful for your relationship and your talent....

Demetria Kunkel - So precious...they are so cute.. I wish I was there to see them! Love the flower Kristin!!

Elizabeth Rice - Wow! What beautiful babies!!!! The Photos are amazing! See you soon, Liz

As Promised Some More… /Fayetteville Senior Photographer

img_3487img_3535img_3678tximg_3685tximg_3690cptimg_3702vwimg_3734tximg_3788rlThere are so many more photos I could post…but I have some people waiting on a newborn twin blog post (you know who you are :)  Just Kidding).  Anyway, I do think we got some fun shots as we were fighting with the sun going down.  I think the best find was this old blue pickup truck.  I loved it and so did “E.”  It was just parked there…waiting to be photographed.  I got some really cool shots of her little brother too, but those will be posted at a later time.  Thanks my sweet “E” for giving me the joy of photographing your beautiful face.  I love you.

Demetria Kunkel - Love them. You are so talented!! So creative!!

A Little Teaser /Fayetteville Senior Photographer

img_3581vsThis is my sweet “E.”  She is a dear family friend and my kiddo’s favorite babysitter.  But really, she is one of the most amazing teens I’ve ever known.  Her loving, kind spirit never ceases to amaze me.  I know she has been waiting on me to finish my holiday editing…so I wanted to give her a little taste of what’s to come with her senior photos.  I am working on them now!  We love you “E” and will miss you so much next year!

Dawn - Thank you Kristin for the teaser. We are so happy you were able to do her Senior Pics. Of course we are anticipating the others but this will help get us by til then.

Erin - I love it. and thanks for the teaser lol. It is very much appreciated. Im so excited to see the others. But they will deff be worth the wait. I will miss yall too. But you'll still have Ailex and i'll be sure to give her all my secrets before i leave. And come breaks...im all yours. =) thank you! love you!

God Given…/ Pope AFB, Ft. Bragg Photographer

img_4851svimg_4830vsimg_4950vskirby1kirby2kirby3God given is all I can say when I think of this family…that they were brought into my life by God alone.  Mom found us on the internet last year and the connection between the two of us is something special.  Dad is a chaplin in the military and it is obvious when you meet them that they are lead by our Lord.  Being around them is so easy and fun.  I adore their children who played out behind their home with me like I was their favorite playmate.  I got to meet baby “E” for the first time which was amazing.  I just can’t say enough about them.  The connection between them…parents, siblings, all…is simply special.  I was sent home with a container of homemade cookies and a warm heart seeing God’s love at work.  I also came home with dirty jeans, elbows, etc because I laid down in a fresh pile of rotting leaves, lovely I know.  It was all worth it though…I loved every minute of it.
