I had one of the *most* amazing experiences on the last day of April. I was afforded the opportunity to photograph Former President Bill Clinton right here in Apex! It was part of Hillary’s campaign of course, but it was Bill that descended upon Apex. I talked with him (albeit briefly) and photographed his speech, his meet and greet and lots of handshakes! It was an amazing experience. If you’d like to read more about it, we’ve placed a short synopsis in our blog as well as placed all 189 images online!

This image is truly a moving moment. If you haven’t met Suzanne, this is, unfortunately, the only way you will. Suzanne was a loving wife, mother and beautiful woman, who made her way to heaven well before her time.

She will be missed by her family as well as by all those that were a part of her life, even if just briefly.

Hug your children, your spouse, your pets, your friend today, and do so in the memory of a wonderful woman.

A family of three add one and become a family of four. With the definition of “average” family changing on a daily basis, these two see themselves as different and unique. 

“There are so many definitions of what a “family” truely is.   Families without two parents, families with all pets and no children, families with a hoard of children, extended families under one roof…etc. I don’t think any of us are “average” or “the norm” anymore,” says Caroline.

This family of four (which includes a three year old Boxer named Macy) considers themselves unique because, as Caroline notes, “My husband and I are both only children, and now have our first child.  We have a unique perspective on being only children, especially as we get older.  We intend to have more.” 

When it comes to creating memories of their family, the uniqueness continues. There first session was at their home, just after returning from the hospital from the birth of their daughter. They chose this location, because it was the “best location for a five day old.” Their daughter, currently a six month old, started her photographic career in her musician-dad’s guitar case, and then took a stroll inside (yes, inside) her Mom’s pageant crown. Though Mom notes that she’d use their home for a future child, she also notes that a dream location would be on her parents farm in South Carolina.

Like so many families of today, this group opted for digital image files. Having a digital camera has certainly taught them the true value of those digital images. Caroline notes that she, “shares with family, scrapbooks, [and created her own] birth announcements,” with the images taken at their very first session.

Having their own digital camera has not deterred them from professional photography. According to Carolina, she wanted, “timeless, quaility prints to cherish for many years.” She adds, “Aimee came highly recommended and after chatting with her on the phone, I was sold by her enthusiasm and experience.  My only regret is that we didn’t know her sooner…Engagement, Wedding, and pregnancy photos from her would have been awesome.  We tell everyone we know!!!”

Luckily for Caroline Aimee’ll be photographing this beautiful girl regularly as she is part of the Baby to Toddler program, designed for children from birth to two years old. The program, which includes the family session Caroline refers to and these most recent photos from their six-month session will help to capture her growth and development in six-month intervals.

Mishoes … thank you for being our featured family for May!
