Another year has come and gone and it is a time of reflection.  I have looked back over the images of the year and picked out my favorite 25. 

They are in no particular order, so I will start with pets from Pet Days 2015.  I love the image of Chloe as chef.  She sat perfectly for her portrait!  

I also had a blast photographing the seven rescue pups!  It's hard to resist a cute puppy!

I had the opportunity to work with many maternity and newborn sessions this past year. 

We had a lot of fun finding cute props for the newborns.  My little mermaid did perfectly in the fishing basket!

Oscar the Grouch even made an appearance!

Black & white is always classic. It is even more special when mom and or dad are in the photography as well.

The Storybook Collection is always one of my favorites to photograph.  This past year we went from Frozen and Fairytales to Summer Camp and painting as Little Picasso!

It is such a joy to photograph children and I especially love the ages 3 to 9.  They bring so much of their personalities to the session.

I had an opportunity to photograph the hot air balloon festival in Raleigh this past year.  It was so neat to watch them light up as the sun went down.

The coast is always a favorite of mine to capture.  My husband and I were able to travel with some other photographers and visit some places I had never been to before.

Pinup photography is one of my newest endeavors.  I had some really fun sessions in 2015. 

I had great seniors this past year.  We went from vintage Hollywood styles to high fashion.  I even started the "Live Portraits" with my senior sessions that incorporate a video within one of the portraits!

There were a lot of family sessions in 2015.  One of my favorites was also a "Live Portrait" session.  I blended a video in their family Christmas card.

I discovered how to make it snow in eastern North Carolina with a snow machine and powdered snow that becomes cold and wet when you add water to it.

 I finished the year with "The Night before Christmas".  Santa sessions are always popular here, but this year was the best ever!

I wish everyone a happy new year and look forward to working hard and creating beautiful images in 2016!
