Clancy Family ( Charlotte Family Photographer )

Posted on December 15, 2011 by Emily Lewin

Right after Thanksgiving I met up with the adorable Clancy family to take some pictures for their Christmas cards. We went to the Greenway and had a lovely time playing in the leaves, running through the fields, and taking a few “portraits” in between all the playing. I met Lori earlier through a group at church but I had never met the rest of the family until the day of the shoot and I was delighted to make their acquaintance. I also appreciated how much easier it is in some ways to take pictures of slightly older children. I love babies and toddlers but having kids who will hold still for a picture makes my job a lot easier! Such cute and sweet girls!

You can see that the girls come by their beauty naturally with such good looking parents!

Besties!This was the view as we were leaving.

Playing at the Park

Today I got to spend some time with my dear friend Calun, whose family portraits we took a few months ago. Her two cute little kids, Judah and Annabelle were playing as we enjoyed the beautiful weather. I couldn’t help posting a few because of the utter cuteness of the kids!

Grandpa John & Grandma Sugar’s 56th Wedding Anniversary

Posted on December 10, 2011 by Emily Lewin

This year I had the joy of getting to celebrate the 56th anniversary of my grandparents marriage. My Mom’s parents, Grandpa John & Grandma Sandie (or Grandma Sugar as my family calls her), had a little family gathering at their house, which is a little bit off the beaten path in North Carolina. I love getting to visit their house because it is so peaceful and beautiful, far away from consistent cell phone reception and traffic noises. They live in a very old restored farmhouse surrounded by untamed woods and fishing ponds. They are also some of the sweetest people that I know and I always leave spending time with them refreshed and encouraged.

Really, what’s not to love? Telling the story of how they met in Hawaii – Grandma went to visit on a sorority trip and Grandpa was living there, batchin’ it with some friends. It was basically love at first sight! They got married three. months. later. When you know, you know!

I love this picture so much! It’s them literally just moments before they met, my Grandpa is going in to introduce himself to my seemingly blissfully unaware Grandma. Can you spot them? Grandpa is the handsome man in the dark jacket and tie right in the middle and Grandma is the lovely smiling lady in white to his left (or your right).

I love this picture so much, from their wedding album, the “Get Away Car” shot!

What’s a family gathering without food?

This was when they were laughing at me for being the “just one more!” picture girl.

Evelyn is first new little girl that I’ve gotten to photograph! So precious! Her fluffy tutu and pink room were so precious and the two big brothers were so handsome and sweet. Such a beautiful baby girl is sure to grow up into a lovely lady!

Joel Michael’s Newborn Portraits ( Denver Newborn Photographer )

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Emily Lewin

I was back in Colorado for a few weeks at the end of July and beginning of August to visit my family, take some pictures, and be a bridesmaid in my brother David’s wedding! While I was there I had the privilege of getting to do my first newborn shoot with little Joel Michael. He was only 4 days old and SO cute and precious and tiny. We did the entire session in their home using the natural morning light and it was great getting to know Joel and Jill as we worked together with Joel Michael to get some great pictures!
