Expecting Baby Tibbett – Maternity Photos

Lovely redhead Brooke Tibbett is expecting her first baby. There’s something about new life and spring in an orchard that reminds me that the world keeps spinning, flowers will bloom and new members to the world are being added all the time. In our little corner, we celebrated Brooke.

Ryan and I photographed Brooke and Joey’s engagement portraits at Moses Cone Manor in Blowing Rock, and later their beautiful wedding at the Gambill Estate. We loved getting to know them. We haven’t seen these two since their wedding day. Brooke chose the most gorgeous dress for the setting and the shoot. She looked like one of the blooms.

Brooke’s husband Joey, and the father-to-be, was hovering on this shoot with us. The peach orchards were exploding with blooms and he wanted his wife to be the star. Even with Joey hanging out in the background, you could feel the excitement of these two. Did I mention that it was awesome seeing these two again?

I cannot wait to meet the new Tibbett, and to watch this family grow. Congratulations Brooke and Joey! It won’t be long now.

Holbrook Family – Spring portrait photos

This outdoor portrait session at the peach orchards was an absolute treat. Mom Rebecca and I have been in the same women’s Bible study for years. Eldest daughter Maycee and Finley are just a month apart, and I have fond memories of those two rolling on the floor as our group unpacked scripture together and supported each other through all the joys and trials of early motherhood.

When discussing getting together for these portraits, Rebecca mentioned that the family had not had a portrait taken of all of them since son Preston was around a year old. Time flies, to say the least and they are now a family of five. Their third and youngest child Everley was born during the pandemic, so this was our first chance to spend time with her as well.

You’ve never met parents more fun or chill than Rebecca and Brian, and with the warm weather and perfect scenery, we struck out to remedy the “no family portraits” situation. I loved every single second of it. I adore this bunch and was thrilled to spend time with them, camera in hand and heart open.

It was a beautiful day with this beautiful family and while the trees will lose their blooms, this family is a reminder that, with portraits, the memories will last.
