It is so hard to believe that my 1st born beautiful girl is about to graduate from High School! It seems like it was me just graduating. I can’t even begin to tell you how proud that I am of her. She is all and so much more of what I had dreamed her to be. The future is so bright for her and I can not wait to see where God leads her. Kyla LOVES our Lord and wants everyone to know what that LOVE is like. One of my favorite images is the last one you will see below, I call it “My little Evangelist”. It truly captures her spirit and life. She is so incredibly beautiful inside and out! A treasure beyond measure! Kyla is so passionate, full of life, enthusiasm, wit, wisdom and ideas. We are so proud of you Kyla. You are turning into a Masterpiece, an exquisite work of God. We want everyone to know that you are our Baby!

I had the awesome pleasure of photographing one of the cutest little girls of North Carolina again.  She is such a cutie with the most gorgeous blue eyes.  Her mother just adores her and  Miss ‘M’ is her mother’s little  ‘Minnie Me’.   On this day, Miss ‘M’ was tired and made me work really really hard for her smiles.  Her parents can confirm that as they watched me playing a fool on the ground.  You do whatcha gotta do.    Our session was also cut short due to a very bad storm that rolled in but we got some great stuff regardless.

I am so happy that Baby Lana and Mommy are here to see us.  It is wonderful.  I have loved Mommy for years.  She is a dear friend that I absolutely adore.  Smart, beautiful, sweet, caring and most importantly, a Godly woman.  I admire her in so many areas of her life.  Michele is the best wife & mother, taking the blessings that God has given her cherishes and nurtures them.  She also takes amazing care of herself too.  I am praying that some of her healthy lifestyle rubs off on me while she is here.  Michele also is a sharp, SHARP business woman with amazing talents to lead and educate.  Stellar is the word that comes to mind but falls so short of describing her to you all.  And now Lana….  I LOVE her too.  I look forward to watching her grow and loving her more.  Isn’t she beautiful?!?!?!

What an adventure it was to photograph these gorgeous kids. FULL of personality and a little mischief. I left with a bruise or two but I have to say it was MORE than well worth it. I got one of my all time favorites at this session. I love how the twinkle was in their eyes as they were planning their next surprise. Come to find out they were trying to get each of the other to KISS me. HOW SWEET is that? I REALLY LOVE how this image turned out. I KNOW that Mother will too. I think that it belongs as a HUGE framed canvas for their home, but which do they choose, black and white or color. I typically am all about COLOR but their Mother loves Black and White. I have a hard time letting color go but I do have to admit that I do love the Black and White one too. What do you think?

Here is another example. Color or Black and White? Hard to decide, right? But one very easy conclusion to draw is that this little girl is AN ABSOLUTE DOLL!!!!!!!!

I love this series.  So sweet.

AND in Color!!!

AND HOW HANDSOME IS HE????????????

AND a BIG HAM!!!  What a FUN little guy!  The last image in this series = BRUISE for me.  LOL  Not on purpose, I am SURE!!!

He is a seriously Cute KUNG FU MASTER.

ANOTHER Bruise……….  But look at how much fun he was having. 

Such an ANGELIC smile.  Such a sweet face and little girl.

I LOVE having sessions in the clients home.  They are surrounded with their LIFE.

And the kids are sooooo much more comfortable being in their environment.  They are relaxed and are able to let their little personalities emerge.  And that is MAGIC!!!

I had to add this one because I did this just for this little guy.  When he was in his Kung Fu character, he continuously said, “Want some of this!?!?!”.  I know that this one will be his FAVORITE!!!!

And she is PRINCESS everything. Such a Girly Girl. I think that she will especially like that I caught her magic wand in action.

Beautiful…..

I Love the color!!!  Or Black and White????  HOW about BOTH!!! 

Thanks to the “B” Family and especially these two CUTIE PIES!!!!!  I had a great time and look forward to future sessions.

HUGS and LOVE,

Shara Lana
