Not all of my photo shoots involve white dresses, boutonnieres and corsages, tiered cakes, and the exchanging of vows in bucolic settings. While I absolutely love photographing weddings, I’m equally smitten by family portraiture. These images are from a family I recently worked with. Such a sweet group, and how about that baby? Isn’t she just the cutest? And the boots! Love the boots! And Papa’s beard! Oh, I just loved the whole thing.

We’re so fortunate to live in such a beautiful setting here in western North Carolina. Whether atop a stunning, aged mountain ridge or in a small, shaded neighborhood backyard, the scope of natural settings available to me as a photographer is immense. These landscapes allow me to work with natural light, which is, truly, the most flattering means of photographing people.

If you’d like to do a bit of family portraiture, I’d love to chat. As these images show, we’ll have a good time and you’ll look great!
