Sarah, Bridal Part 2

As promised here are the rest of the images from the Bridal shoot with Sarah! This afternoon I had a photoshoot with two really cute sisters-in-law who are both pregnant..so look for those pictures coming soon!

Sarah, Bridal

If I could spend every Saturday like this I would. Girlfriend time + my camera + beautiful weather = a happy girl! When I called one of my closest friends, Sarah, to ask her if she would be interested in doing a "Bridal" shoot to add to my portfolio she was more than willing to help! I had also been wanting to find some new locations in Raleigh, so today was the perfect day. What I loved the best was that nothing really was planned. We knew the dress she would wear but everything else was totally spontaneous! Sometimes not having a plan is the best plan. We drove around downtown until we spotted a location we wanted to try and walked to different places from there. Sarah got a few whistles from passerby's...but that's pretty much a normal thing for her that it didn't even phaze her...she's such a pro!

The shoot turned out even better than I expected...I love so many of the images that this will be a two-day post...the few that I've edited today and new ones tomorrow!

Thank you so much Sarah...can't wait to do it again! : )

Extra Sprinkles

Okay, I know you all are just dying to know the BIG big news in Marymephotographyland..I've had people actually come up to me wanting to be "let in" on the secret..haha...so here ya go!

It's finally ready!! Head on over and check out the newly designed Mary me Photography Website! I have had a lot of new clients contacting me and felt the need to make the site a little more professional-looking. I had a lot of fun designing it and I will probably continue to tweak it because I'm never completely content and love to experiment..let me know what you think!

Double the Love

There is something so peaceful about babies..the way they move, the sounds they make, their "baby" smell..that's mesmerizing at times. I have serious baby "wonderment" where when I'm around them I can't help but feel unconditional love for them...getting lost in their little fingers, little toes, and of course the sweet little belly buttons...God's kiss on creation.

And when there's double the babies....there's double the love.

Little men Jake & Westin are 4 month old heart breakers...already. Swooning with personality and this "chill" attitude they hung right in there with me working the camera all afternoon long. Did they need naps?....nope. Multiple changes?....nada. A bottle?....ok, well yes..they are only 4 months old for goodness sake!

But twins....be still my heart, I love twins! That has to be one of the most special bonds between human beings...to have been together from the very beginning...a buddy in the womb all those months. I love watching twins interact. It's amazing how quickly personalities begin to emerge...Jake, being a little smaller than Westin, stuck by his "big" brother's side (whether by gravitational pull or by pure choice) in almost every shot. He looked to Westin the majority of the time while Westin was more curious about the strange girl with the big black box in his face making noises new to his world.

Thank you Rene' for letting me come into your home and rearrange your furniture like I was in my own home! : ) And a big BIG thank you to all the helpers we had in attendance (especially big sister Reagan) to help with the boys!

So without further ado...allow me to present Jake & Westin...I hope you're sitting down because these boys are the kings of preciousness!
