The “P” Family :: Burlington Family Photographer ::
Have you ever met people who you cannot image having never met? That’s how I feel about the P family. Mommy P and I met through an online message board for local mommies and I have to say, I was a little intimidated at first to capture this family of 6. Having three children myself, a family with four kids under four years old is scary to me! LOL! However, after 5 minutes, I completely fell in love with the family…especially the littles. I respect and applaud the relationship that Mom & Dad have with each other. You can see the love that flows freely between them and outward towards their children.
Thank you P family for allowing me into your little world for a bit. I look forward to capturing your memories for a long time to come!
What exactly do you mean by copyright?
This question gets asked a million times by clients and even just friends and family that have no idea what it really means to have copyrights to the pictures I take. I am a huge fan of Rachel Brenke and she completely broke it down in her blog today with Stop Messing up my art!

Mr. WillJ :: Burlington Child Photographer
I have no words for this adorable ball of energy. He is by far the CUTEST little bug! And he is not camera shy for anything.
His mommy and I have become pretty close over the last few weeks. I think close would be an understatement, but for the sake of saving tears, we will go with that. C, I hope that I did your little bug justice with these photos! I cannot wait to get him in front of my lens again soon!
Hi Pawpaw Poole!! We miss you!!!

Meet Mr. T :: Burlington, NC Child Photographer ::
Before going all 1984 on me, no, I am not talking about the big guy with gold chains and a Mohawk :) Although, that might be kind of cool….I am talking about this adorable, sweet boy that I got to meet a few weeks ago.
Mr. T was so polite and he had the BEST smile! And although he didn’t feel 100%, he made my job super easy.
This little man loves to play soccer and after a few minutes of watching him play, I can happily report that he and the sport go hand in hand!
Thank you so much for allowing me to capture you Mr. T! And big thanks to “Momma” for finding me!
::The Phillips Family :: Burlington, NC Family Photographer::
The Phillips family have a special little place in my heart. Dee is a childcare provider and I was lucky enough to have her as our nanny before she became my client. I have watched her daughter grow along with my brood for the last two years .
I have also had the great pleasure of watching Dee as she brought another adorable little bit into the world <3 And what a sweet little bug he is!
I feel so honored to keep capturing those moments for this family and I hope I can keep doing it for years to come.
Thank you Dee for being a great part of our lives!
