Can't believe she's a Senior!!

This beautiful girl has been coming to see me for portraits since she was a child!  Her mom always brings the "furry family" to join in the sessions.  It has been great to see her change over the years.  This last time, I was blown away when I first saw her in the studio.  She was a cute little girl, but now just look at her.  WOW!  And she is so sweet and gracious - great combination.  Her dogs were good too - just look at those doggy faces!  I can't wait to show her and her mom all the images we created.

Budding Soccer Star!!

What a sweet little guy!  Thank you, Melinda and Daniel for choosing me to capture Donovan's first year!  I just love our Baby's First Year portrait plans - I get to watch the growth and changes the happen so fast.  If Donovan keeps on like this - we'll have a tough time trying to choose favorites each time.  Everything he did during this session was sweet!!  Watch the DVD and enjoy!

Dog Day at Precious Portraits for Diamonds in the Ruff

We are so excited - September 11 will be our fundraiser for Diamonds in the Ruff - a rescue organization in Wayne County.  This is a great opportunity to have your dog photographed and get to help out!  Check out our special website www.dogdayatpreciousportraits.com to get the details.  Basically, you bring a $30 check made out to Diamonds in the Ruff and a bag of dog food - we give you a professional portrait session of your dog.  If you want to purchase portraits, our dog, Bella has special packages specially designed for our "furry friends".    Here's what some happy pet owners said about our last Dog Day.....               

"I am so excited about the portraits you did for my sweet little babies! I have shown them to many people and they have been amazed at the work you have done. "The boys" were so comfortable, which made the portrait look natural. I was surprised that the actual session only took 20 minutes. That shows talent on your part. We were treated with such professionalism at your studio. I can't wait to recommend you to all our friends. Not only did we get excellent portraits, but we were able to help an animal rescue organization too!"
Kathy Goforth            
 
   "We are so happy we had portraits of Myles made at Dog Day. Terry was amazing with our baby, who would not stay still. I cannot believe how many wonderful photos she captured of our rambunctious pup. The hardest part of the process was trying to decide which of the beautiful photos to pick. Not only were we helping a wonderful cause, we have cherished photos that will last a lifetime. Thank you Precious Portraits!" - D. Stasinopoulos & Toni Taglieri

Baby's first portrait session

Just look at those smiles - and that beautiful little baby's curves!!  I wanted to post something here on the blog so that Jennifer and Juan could enjoy a couple before we get together to show them all their images.  They left for vacation the day after this session......and I can't wait till they get back.  Johannah is just an awesome baby - full of laughter and smiles.  I couldn't help but want to show her off.  But look, she is sweet when she's not smiling - what a gorgeous expression.

Dog Days was a great success!

Our Dog Day fundraiser for the Croatan Animal Rescue and Sanctuary on June 19th went great!  All the "Furry Pals" did a wonderful job.  The volunteers from the organization were great - thanks, Kim and Kathy for being there!  So far, we  have raised over $300 for their group.  Our "babies" are all rescues, so this cause is important to us.  The rescue organizations need funds - so many of the volunteers pay out of pocket.                                                                        We hope to help other groups do this in the future. These are just a few of the images created on Dog Day.  We had to leave our Bella home that day - we felt she would be overwhelmed by all the new friends that came to see us.                                                                                                                                                                                                     This composite was very popular - so cute, and is personalized!!

Look at this beautiful baby!

This little guy was just so sweet - from his christening outfit to posing with this daddy's boots- he has it all!  Was a great session.
