Lila Bean on the Grow!

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

 “Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.”
―Fred Savage as Kevin Arnold in “The Wonder Years”

Is it just me or didn’t Kevin Arnold always have the wisest things to say. I feel this way about my photos of our Little LB. She is now 7 Months…where does the time go. This time is so priceless.

Another beautiful beautiful baby girl was born this year and I am the luckiest lady ever to get to photograph my dear Miss Mary McCullen Hott.

Hunter Privette

Friday, November 6th, 2009
One of the things I love most about my job is watching my kids and families grow! It is amazing to me how much we all change in such short periods of time-especially the kids! I first had the pleasure of shooting Hunter last year. Check out some images from our 2008 session!

Kelly and Ian

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Today I am allowing myself to do something I love-back blogging. I have so many wonderful sessions that I have not blogged about yet! So this morning I said I would take a second to blog about two really special people and the beautiful morning we got to spend together.

Meet Kelly and Ian!

Kelly and Ian have the kind of love that makes you go wow! Ian lived in England and Kelly lived here in Raleigh. A little long distance could not keep them apart! Kelly asked Amber Byrd Photography to capture some images early one Friday morning before they were on their way downtown to be married!!!

The colors, the sun, their excitement… it all came together in a way that was just perfect. Click on the thumbnails to make the images full size!

Kelly and Ian are now living in England as adorable newlyweds! Thanks for inviting me to be apart of such a very special morning for you both. We all miss you here in NC and hope the sun and love always shines on you no matter where you are– like it did that special morning you became husband and wife!

Max Batchelor-A Three Month Session

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

As I traveled to Summerfield to meet my new friend Max for his three month session I kept thinking back to how long I have truly known his mom Sallie. Sallie and I went to pre-school together and played and dreamed about one day being real mommies, and now here it is 2009 and I am getting the chance to photograph and document this special time in her life. How quickly time passes and how vivid such long ago memories can be is really amazing…

So you can imagine how excited I was to meet this special little man!

I am so proud to say that this gorgeous girl is my youngest cousin, Grayson Massey. She came up to Chapel Hill for me to photograph her Senior Pictures. Despite how hot it was (think back to how hot August was) she was such a trooper and let me play all over campus with her. She didn’t mind me asking her to lay in old spidery trees, walking down the middle of a busy street during one of Chapel Hill’s puppet shows, she just kept smiling! Here are some of my favorites…

Senior Portraits were so much fun. Let me know if anyone out there is interested in an ABP Senior Session.

Thank you  Grayson! You were so wonderful, I was honored to document such a special time in your life for you and your family. Enjoy this Senior Year-it will fly by!

Jackson Stilwell-A Three Month Session

Friday, September 25th, 2009

“Only Robinson Crusoe had everything done by Friday.”
―Author Unknown

This quote made me smile this morning as I prepare to start on the never ending to do list! I thought I would take a moment to go way back and blog about a very special three month session ABP photographed a while ago. The most amazing part of my job (and the part that keeps me going) is when I get work with people who start out as clients and then as soon as the session begins the term client disappears and friend becomes the only way to describe them and their families. This happened when I first met the Stilwell Family.

Here are some of my favorites from Baby Jack’s Three Month Session.

As you can see Baby Jack was one fabulous little model. And with all the top models after a photo session the only thing left to do is nap!
