While we were honored when our friends Renee & Jonathan of McCardell Photography asked us to photograph a family session of them with their son, Nathan, we were also nervous to photograph other photographers! Everyone works differently and the final product is always unique to that specific photographer’s style. The McCardell’s however, made it super-easy on us though because their family is so much fun! Nathan is such a happy little man and there’s no denying they love each other more than words!

Nathan loves his daddy!

This is such a fun age for photographs. They’re slightly mobile and want to explore everything, but can’t run away from you yet!

Biiiiig yawn! It’s hard being the center of attention!

Renee is such a beautiful mother.

Ha! Love Nathan’s “over it” expression!

just us, by kellie kano

Being that Higs and/or I typically have a camera in hand chasing after Nolan, it’s not often that we ever have photos of the three of us together in one shot, except for self-takes. And while we love the self-takes, they can’t fully document the way we are as a family. So we turned to the super-talented Kellie Kano to document us at this point in our life.

We’ve loved Kellie’s work for years and knew that we’d be happy with whatever images she provided us. But we were ecstatic with the outcome because our normally happy go-lucky Nolan was a completely uncooperative toddler that evening and she still managed to capture his personality perfectly. Below are a few of the shots she got from our time together, but be sure to check out Kellie’s blog for the full post! Thank you, Kellie!!

nolan and the pumpkin patch

One of the things I love most about Fall is the traditions that are involved with all the upcoming holidays. Last year we picked pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch and we made a tradition of it this year by going back. On the way home I was comparing last year to this year and I can’t get over how much things have changed. I will say, he sure was much easier to photograph last year; the kid didn’t even have a pair of shoes because he wasn’t mobile yet. Now our baby is a little boy, but still cute as ever! He tried to pick up, roll and/or sit on just about every pumpkin in the patch before picking his favorite.

one year anniversary photos, greensboro, nc • • • jaime & jason

Jaime & Jason contacted us a few months ago about a Just Because portrait session to document their one-year anniversary, which I think is a fabulous idea! Even though we had never met before, we clicked with them right off the bat and it was like we were photographing old friends! I loved documenting the undeniable genuine love and friendship between them. They were fun, silly and full of laughter the entire time as we explored the streets of downtown Greensboro. About half way through the session my cheeks started to hurt and I realized it was because I had been smiling and laughing so much behind the camera! And even now as I look through the final images, I can’t help but smile. Their happiness is contagious! Enjoy!

Thanks guys! We had a blast with you!
