Geer Family. Winston Salem Family Portraits.

I shot this gorgeous family back in the fall and was waiting until Christmas cards were sent out to post these to the blog :) I think we can safely guess that all Christmas cards have been sent by now! I am just in love with the seasonal leaves changing and how everyone's outfits coordinate without matching . . . it's a family session miracle! Don't forget to leave some love in the comments section below :)





These kids were super easy to work with... and super cute, too!











Cuddles with mommy...





Of course I had to shoot just a few images of Lora and Andy alone.





Then I did some photos of each child alone. I think these are so important when you're part of a larger family. Each of these kids had so much personality!



















We found a ladybug! These are some of my favorite images from the session because no one was paying attention to me :) I got to capture this series as it happened in real life.

Family Sessions

Happy Thanksgiving week! I am so excited about Thursday. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday and I can't wait to spend Wednesday cooking and baking with my family and Thursday with Jonathan's family in South Carolina. My husband, however, is more excited about Christmas. I'm pretty sure Jonathan is going to set up our Christmas tree the second we get home from SC Thursday night. He spent yesterday cleaning up the living room and rearranging to make space for the tree and pulled ornaments out of the closet to sit in the "tree corner" and await Thursday night. All of his excitement and preparation got me thinking about Christmas and how it really is right around the corner, which means it's time for family sessions! If you'd like to include a photo in your Christmas cards this year, now is the time to have those photos taken. I'm offering 15% off for the first three people that book a family session, starting now. If you'd like more information on family sessions you can visit my website, or shoot me an e-mail at : alexa.photo@gmail.com

And because posts aren't fun without pictures, here's one that I like.



I shot this while Jonathan and I were on a walk at Bur-Mil park. It had just rained and I love how the cracks soaked up the water and made those awesome lines.

Family Shoot : Brinkley's

This will be a short post with minimum commentary. I've got a few other things on my "to do" list for this upcoming week. Enjoy the photos!

I have known the Brinkleys for years so I was excited when Amy asked me to do their family portraits! We did the session in the lot where the Brinkleys get their tree every Christmas.

Jason and Amy and their three adorable children, Caleb, Kealee and Cohen.



This was Cohen's first photoshoot. He seems pretty happy about it, too.





Jason and Amy are perfect for each other and good-looking on top of it!



Caleb, the big brother.



Kealee is such a sweetheart. I think she was starting to get cold at this point.



The newest addition, Cohen.







Cohen was having fun dancing to the Christmas music.













Caleb makes a good Santa Claus face.

Joe & Max

This past weekend I did a short photo shoot with Joe and his adorable dog, Max, for Joe's Christmas cards. Max was so interested in everything going on at the park that it was hard to get him to sit still for the photos! That is, until we used a piece of food to get his attention. He's very obedient when there's a treat involved.

I couldn't help posting this picture, it makes me laugh every time I look at it. Max is good at making those sad puppy eyes.
