Rodanthe, North Carolina

My final trip of 2017 is so close to my heart. This is our final family vacation as the three of us, before our little girl joins us in a few weeks. We rented a house in The Outer Banks with my husband’s side of the family and had a wonderful time. My beautiful, but incredibly cautious little guy was not very keen on the wild ocean. However, he loved playing monster trucks in the sand and swimming in the pool with his Aunt Lauren. Here are a bunch of shots of a few of the people I love the most.

First Birthday Session: Aubrey

My niece is about to wrap up her first trip around the sun! This little lady stole my heart when she made her grand entrance into our lives. I utterly adore her perfect little face (whether that’s with a cheesy smile or being super serious) <3 We enjoyed a warm morning in West Park with balloons and many puffs.

Newborn Hospital Session: Aubrey Rose

This little beauty is particularly close to my heart, because she made me an Aunt. Miss Aubrey Rose was born early in the morning on Wednesday, June 22nd at Magee Women’s Hospital, perfect and healthy. I am so proud of Emily for giving birth to such a lovely little girl. Her and my brother, Zach, are already amazing parents! I am so excited for our babies to grow up together!

North Park Maternity Session: Emily and Zach

My brother and sister in law are expecting their first baby! I couldn’t be happier or more excited for them, as they are about to embark on parenthood. My future niece or nephew is due at the beginning of July, so we had to hurry up and take some photos before it’s arrival. We finally found a perfect evening with a beautiful sunset in North Park. Emily and Zach are going to be wonderful parents!
