{Riley} Growing Up! | Raleigh Family Photographer

 I hope from reading my blog or from knowing me personally that you know how much my family means to me.  I try in the things I do to show them each and everyday how much I love them.  In addition to being our niece, Michael and I have a extra special sweet spot for Riley as we were both there the night she was born.  I can remember the details of that night like it was yesterday… we were at the hospital until about 530am and we were back by probably 930am the same morning.  It was almost impossible to take your eyes off of her – she was such a beautiful newborn (big too at almost 10lbs!!!)…

She was just a few hours old when this was taken….


Well two years later, it is still nearly impossible to take your eyes off of her – both because she is still so beautiful and also because she is as fast as the dickens =)

 You can see where she gets her good looks – Her Momma and Daddy – Holly & TedMaking a run for it with Teddy

Holly has always been beautiful, but becoming a Mom brought that out ten fold! Now my favorite Daddy-Daughter picture ever. Love this family shot

My favorite shot of the evening!

 

We had a wonderful evening last night for this shoot at the Duke Gardens!  The wisteria on the main gazebo was so gorgeous, I just found myself staring at it for minutes at a time!  We packed a picnic and had a nice dinner afterwards too!  I can honestly say it felt AMAZING to get back outdoors shooting now that all the cold, wet, grey weather is behind us!

I Love these pictures! They are so beautiful (as always Em)!!!
You captured so much of her personality in every shot and I know in 20 years I can look back at these photo’s and say “that was who Riley was!”
