This is so true about so many things in our hurried and busy lives. I sometimes wonder where the time is going and how it is moving so much quicker these days…That is why I feel so blessed when old friends invite me into their lives to photograph the first year of their babies. This enables me to document in time the happiness and joy they are experiencing. These memories once captured, are there for them to look back on and remember…the joys, the hardships, the love, and just how worth it having a new baby truly is. My latest love affair, Miss Stella Kate.

Something that I always hold near and dear to my heart is the chance to donate to this awesome community we live in! It is so true when they say the more you give the more you will receive. I donated an ABP session to the UNC Lineberger Beach Ball Silent Auction and in the end I was the one who won. The Magnuson Family was kind enough to bid on a session with me and won! I not only got to photograph them and have an amazing session, but I made three and a half new friends that day too!

Meet the Magnuson Family!
