the Williams Family

We’ve photographed Sawyer since he was a newborn, so when we heard that he would be a big brother I definitely let out a little squeal of excitement.  Here are some of our favorites from this adorable family session. We’re thrilled to introduce you to Sadie - looking super cute with the rest of her family!

I had a dream that I could fly…Sadie would make a cute superhero, flying over town. :)

 I love how Sawyer’s leaning on mom while looking out for dad.

After a few photos of Sadie, we went to check out this cool train. Sawyer was stoked!

We made a few photos by the water and this cool old house. This father-son shot is the sweetest!

Tasha - CFS Grad

Well, she’s soon-to-be a Carolina Friends School graduate. :) I’ve for years been jealous of Jordan and his experience at Friends School. I always thought my graduating class of 80-something students from a small-town public school was tiny (or maybe it was 92ish students? I’m getting older and can’t remember), but cut that in half and you have a very large graduating class at CFS. I’ve attended quite a few sporting events here, but this was my first time exploring parts of the campus that didn’t include the gym. I have to say, I’m pretty in love with the school overall. And Tasha? She’s pretty amazing, too. 

Hello Friends! This is Tasha. I’m going to bet a lot of you reading this know her.

You guys know we don’t only love kiddo feets, right? Even when we’re older they say a lot about us. Especially when you go to Friends school and are allowed to walk around the campus with bare feet - jealous! :)

Tasha’s taking a photography class, so when I mentioned using a higher ISO in the darker shaded areas, she knew what I was talking about. Love it!

Tasha plays volleyball (and soccer).

She’s a setter, and I love that Jordan got the ball in perfect rotation to show it. :)

Whoa. Definite favorite of the day! Thanks to Jordan for being taller than me and getting this shot! Tash if I were your mom, I’d print this huge!

Tasha, we had a blast with you and your mom. For real. Best of luck to you at UNC!

Life at the Creek

This is what we like to call a “lifestyle” photo session. They’re my very favorite kind of thing to shoot, because they show what goes on in your real, everyday life. In this case, we documented a family trip to the coast - Arapahoe, NC to be exact. This family was one of the first we shot, even before we were known as “JAM.” So, when they asked us to join them for a weekend at their creekhouse, we might’ve jumped up and down and yelled, “Heck yeah!” And so we did, bringing our cameras almost everywhere we went.

I’m going to skip the narrating (for the most part), because I love the story these photos tell all by themselves. Cinnamon rolls & oranges, puddle-jumping, doggy-loving, swinging, and boating. Life on the creek is good.

We’d like to take a moment and send some love to this family. Their good ol’ dogs, Bear & Griz, joined us at the Creek, and this ended up being Bear’s last trip. The shot Jordan got of him lying on the deck is one of my very favorites. Rest in peace, dear Bear.
