Expecting baby Angelina

This couple is so cool that it’s both blinding and fun to consider writing about them…. I’m not sure if I can even handle this blog. They are scheduled to deliver what will probably be an equally cool baby girl in October of this year and they deserve celebrating, especially during this bizarre year we’re having. Meet Jessica and Bobby Bennett. We’ve known them for a decade and they just keep getting cooler.

We held their portrait session at Stowe Manor in Belmont, NC on July 24th. This was the same location where we photographed Jessica’s bridal portraits, where her bridal shower was held, and their engagement party. It made sense. We recreated several similar images Jessica requested showing them then to now. Neither the location nor this lovable couple have changed one bit. It was fun to hang out together, reminisce and recreate memories while making new ones.

Bobby and Jessica are huge sports fans and football rivals. Bobby is all about the Baltimore Ravens and Jessica is a Carolina Panthers girl. Their demonstration of the rivalry and love of the game still continues 10 years later.

They plan to name this baby Angelina James and call her Lina James, a combination of two other family names. They’ve also chosen her nickname – “Juicy,” because they want Lina James to have juicy thighs that they can squeeze. Hence the nameplate on her first football attire. How cute is that?

I love these old images next to their new counterparts. It was such a good idea and a fun way to be back with them in the same spot where other milestones have occurred.

Little Juicy Lina James: we CANNOT WAIT to meet you, girl!


We love family portraits whether they are set in the studio, the great outdoors, a specific location like the mountains or high country, or on our property in our outdoor portrait garden. Pixels on Paper photographs newborns and families, special events and portraits  of all kinds in our Wilkesboro, NC studio. We would be honored to meet with you, learn about you and your family and be a part of taking special portraits that will become, we hope, family heirlooms.
