Jen+Jon // Family Photographer in Raleigh, NC

OUR FRIENDS. Love these guys. Have photographed them for a long time now. Have a new baby in tow. He’s super cute. He hangs through our scary movie nights like a champ and loves making zombie noises. Have a precious toddler in tow whom I love very much and who calls most carbonated drinks “spicy” and likes to change into his Halloween clothes before I come over to impress me sometimes. Jen and Jon and their kids are like family to us, and we celebrate holidays and good times and bad times and eat amazing food together and overanalyze where to put our favorite stickers and watching really bad movies and sometimes good movies and I’m so glad we have them (and their dog SamSam, not pictured but received many treats after the shoot) in our lives.

Crystal+Jason // Durham Family Photography

I caught up with this crew a few weeks ago to do a family photo session at their new home in Durham! The kids are loving it there – they have a great front and back yard and an awesome pool! The pool was closed for the season but maybe someday I’ll see it in full swing. There was a lot of fun to be had in their playroom with a bouncy trampoline gym type thingy and balance blocks, and they also have their own Pilates room since Crystal is a Pilates instructor! We also did some stomp rockets, played croquet in their yard, ate some snacks, and played Dog Bingo, which might be one of the best types of Bingo (their dog Atlas certainly thinks so). Had a great time seeing these folks again!
