The Asekhauno Family || A Pullen Park Family Session

The Asekhauno family was referred to us by their friends the Satterlys; it took me a little while, but about four hours after our initial consultation, I remembered that dad Char was at Gabby's first birthday party with little Mr. Liam. The two are the same age, now 18 months, and mom Jackie wanted some family photos to document Liam's endless cuteness. We had a beautiful morning in Pullen Park, and although Liam was a little restless, we got some great shots before the park started to fill up. Liam loves trains and must have run through the defunct train car in the park about a dozen times before we managed to snatch him up in front of it, and every time the park's little train ran around near us, his eyes snapped to it, and he waved to all the people on it. He was adorable, and I'm glad to share the whole family's beautiful images below--enjoy them! More on Facebook.

Gretchen || Pullen Park Portraits

Gretchen is a superstar wedding planner in the Raleigh area. Her wedding planning business, RedBird Events, is celebrating its first year in existence, and Gretchen wanted some new photos of herself for her business-versary. Her entire brand springs from her personality, and RedBird events reflect her bubbliness, openness, friendliness, energy, and all-around awesomeness, which is what I hoped to capture in our session at Pullen Park in early September. We had fun goofing around in the park, and sat and chatted for a while afterwards while I ate a watermelon margarita Locopop (I mean, seriously?!). Though I haven't yet had the privilege of working with any RedBird brides, I hope to have the opportunity soon! In the meantime, enjoy a selection of Gretchen's beautiful portraits, and congratulate her on a successful first year in business! More on Facebook.
