riddick

it doesn't matter how old i get (and i know i'm not that old...still...), it's always a little crazy to meet the babies of good old friends. it's sometimes unbelievable to think that we're all old enough to be a real person's parents!

some very thoughtful folks gave julie and jim a sandfoot photography portrait session as a baby gift (gift certificates are always available!) and i was fortunately able to drop in and see the new parents in action last month at their home. riddick is AMAZING. he was such a good baby for his session and if he hadn't looked just like his daddy's mini-me, i wouldn't have believed i was looking at jim bain's baby! (just kidding jim.)

congratulations julie and jim! he's every bit as handsome as i expected from you two!

WHERE HAVE WE BEEN??!?

so it's 2010 and i'm ashamed to have only posted once in months! (HOW is it march already?) if you're wondering what on earth we've been up to, the first thing to do is check out our new facebook fan page at www.facebook.com/sandfootphotography. it's there that we've been putting all of our free winter energy lately, but we're absolutely not going to continue neglecting the blog. (promise!) if you're on facebook, please check us out and become a fan - we're sharing lots of archives and revving up for an exciting year ahead!

in the meantime, keep checking here as well for new posts, thoughts, and upcoming specials. if we can EVER get this nasty weather out of the way, we're ready to see your smiling faces...and if not, we're just going to have to start dancing in the rain!

here comes baby jack

if 2009 doesn't make the history books for being a baby boomin' year, i'll be shocked. i love it! i met lindsay in chapel hill earlier this year when she served as her sister chrissy's matron of honor (and bridal portrait photo assistant), and it was so good to see her again with such a sweet baby belly!

thanks lindsay and dan! can't wait to meet baby jack!

stephanie & david

looooove these guys! congratulations to mr. and mrs. bankert on a beautiful wedding day and a wonderful life ahead!

the corbett family

the weather might be getting crazy, but i'm not ready to give it up yet! it was a chilly morning at yates mill last saturday, but the oh-so-pretty corbett family came ready and willing to play anyway. i'm so so glad they did!

these three kids are some of the most fun and well-behaved siblings i've ever had the chance to photograph. it may have had something to do with a tootsie roll deal, but i'll bet they're this sweet 99% of the time...except when one steps on the other's foot. ;)

and here comes my cue that my time is up. there's only so much a kid can take!!! :)

sara and ben

MY GOODNESS i've been busy. i've had so many exciting sessions lately that i'm spending more time editing than sleeping it seems, but it's worth it when they're all so special...especially this one.

it's been almost eight years since i graduated from northampton county high school-east with this groom to be. if someone had told me then that i'd be photographing sara and ben's wedding several years down the road, i probably wouldn't have believed them, but i would have been thrilled. i got so carried away at their engagement session that i could have spent the entire day running them around the farm. and as much as ben claimed to have dreaded it, i think he had more fun than us girls. :)

see you two in march!!!
