I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to kick off the spring season by capturing maternity photos with Anna and Adam at the American Tobacco Campus! Can I just say they are one of the most down-to-earth and cheerful couples I’ve met, and we laughed a TON during the shoot? :) They are both originally from New York, and moved down to Durham in 2014 for Anna to attend grad school. Ever since the move, they’ve grown very fond of Durham and even got married here! During our portrait consultation, I was so excited to hear they wanted to genuinely capture who they were as a couple and document their excitement as their family was changing. I remember Anna describing this season as a “magical time in their relationship” and I thought that was such a beautiful sentiment!

One of my favorite moments during our photo shoot was when I was capturing portraits of just Anna, and I asked Adam to cheer her on…and he was SO enthusiastic, encouraging, and funny! It was incredibly endearing to see how much Anna laughed and how happy and excited they both were! My other favorite memory from the shoot was when they told me they’ve been doing yoga together to help with the pregnancy, and wanted to capture a photo of them holding a pose. I forget what the pose was called, but they were having so much FUN and laughed so much! I found myself laughing with them and could feel the joy they had! We ended the shoot with them dancing together, as they wanted to remember this sweet moment and re-enact from their wedding :)

Can’t wait till their baby arrives, and we’ll find out soon if it will be a boy or girl! Enjoy scrolling through my favorite photos from the maternity session!

Y'all, if you're going to be having baby #2 (or 3, or 4), definitely consider capturing family photos before the newest member of your family arrives. Your family dynamic will change with every new life you add to your family, and documenting the different seasons of your life is something you will never regret.

A few weeks ago I had the honor to capture maternity photos and family portraits in Raleigh for the Smith family. When we took the photos, Lindsay was around 34 weeks and she looked absolutely stunning in her green floral maternity dress (it was so light and flowy!). In addition, we captured some mommy and me portraits of her and her son, Bennett. She wanted to document a few photos of her and her first born, before the baby arrives. Bennett had the most ADORABLE smile and was so excited to be a big brother!!

When we got to the family portraits, my heart was so full watching them all play and interact with one another. Capturing photos of their entire family--as a family of three--was so moving. This season, this moment, is so precious to remember. At the same time, there's so much excitement for baby #2 to arrive! I can't wait for the Smith family to create new memories together as a family of four :) Enjoy the photos!

Taking portraits for dear friends is always a special honor! I was so excited when Mia reached out for maternity portraits and family photos as they will be expecting a baby GIRL in December! We had a sweet and fun family session at the West Point on Eno River, and my favorite part was when their son Elliot was tossing leaves in the air! The joy that is captured on their faces is priceless :)

Also, I absolutely LOVED their blue and yellow clothing coordination! It totally fit their happy personalities and added a nice warm touch to their photos! Did you know yellow is my favorite color, too? I love it because it's such a happy and cheerful color.

Enjoy getting to know the Zhu family with the photos below, and get ready to celebrate their growing family!
