It’s a little embarrassing to admit, but I squealed a little bit when Melissa called to see if I would be willing to take her family pictures in Nags Head on her family vacation in July. Melissa and I are friends online in a photographers’ forum and also happens to be a crazy talented photographer with the most adorable boys ever! I honestly could not get enough of them. It was so great to meet Melissa in person and see what a wonderful person she is … but I truly already knew it.
So without further ado, Melissa and her boys. Oh and a HUGE congrats to Melissa and her husband who are celebrating their 10th anniversary in August. Seriously fantastic!

Every child begins the world again … meet sweet, sweet baby John. Probably one of my favorite sessions, ever.

If I knew at the time when I announced my birthday contest to the world that I would get to photograph the Vaisey family, I would feel like the luckiest photographer on the planet, because truly I was the luckiest photographer on the planet to be able to meet this incredible family. They could not be more vibrant with so much personality and love for each other. Jonathan and I are so happy to be able to call them friends. :)
Steve is a sociology professor at UC Berkeley which made for some awesome photographs in his great little office on campus.
Vaiseys … thank you, thank you, thank you! We just absolutely adore your family!!
