Wilmington │Spine Family
Wilmington, NC family mini session taking advantage of beautiful fall foliage on this hidden gem walking trail with Tiffany Abruzzo Photography.
Around September or so, the inquiries for Fall Mini Sessions come rolling in and before I know it, the calendar is jam-packed with families wanting to check off a few To Do list items before the big holiday rush. You may remember this family from our downtown Wilmington, NC family session (if not, you should definitely click here to check it out). Ashley & Joel have the most adorable kiddos and we decided to spend the afternoon on a nature trail to make the most of the fall foliage for their mini session.
Fall Foliage Mini Sessions for the win!
The best part about this particular trail for me is that at a certain point, the trail opens up to this small bridge surrounded by trees and water, which I absolutely love. The kids always get kick out of it and it feels like such a hidden gem in Wilmington, NC.
Thank you, Ashley & Joel for tromping through the woods with me for our mini session. You're the best!

Wrightsville Beach, NC │ Family Session Revisit with Stacey
It's so awesome to look back through an older photo session and find a new favorite or two that somehow stands out to you more now than it may have originally. These photos were so sweet when I first posted them a few years back, but looking back through them now and seeing how TEENY her kiddos were, and those "mom looks" that I see on Stacey's face as she looks at her beautiful babies, full of pride and love... these photos are so worth a little revisit. Stacey and her little tribe are some of my favorites and frequent the blog, and I may have a few adorable photos of her sister & niece when Baby Jay was soooooooo new for a little added bonus :)

Hampstead, NC | The Ohler Family
Jaybird! This little peanut has been stuck with me as her paparazzi ever since her Mom's maternity shoot and it's so hard to believe that we're already celebrating her second birthday! The Ohler family and I visited Poplar Grove Plantation's nature trail, Abbey Nature Preserve, for this woodsy family photo session to document the big T-W-O. Laryn, Matt & Jayden, thank you for inviting me to photograph your family, I love being along for the ride. Happy Birthday, Jay!

*Side note: Poplar Grove is the perfect venue for a wedding, and I am SO in if any of you newly engaged couples are so inclined ;)
What a little beauty!
^ Let's face it, the twos are rough, but luckily Daddy was there to make her laugh :)
Happiest of birthday wishes to you, sweet girl xoxo
Raleigh, NC │ The Williams Family
The Williams family is one of those families who has been with me from just about the beginning of my photography escapade. Over the past five years, I have watched their family of three grow into what is now a family of five from behind my lens! I am just a little bit in love with this entire gallery of their latest family photo session taken at Historic Yates Mill Park in Raleigh, NC. Thank you, Williams family for letting me photograph all of these moments for you. You're the best!
The Williams family is one of those families who has been with me from just about the beginning of my photography escapade. From older sister Reagan's first birthday photo shoot in Wilmington, NC, to a family session in Fayetteville ,NC to a sisters photo shoot in Savannah, Georgia, I have watched their family of three grow into what is now a family of five from behind my lens! I am just a little bit in love with this entire gallery of their latest family photo session taken at Historic Yates Mill Park in Raleigh, NC. Thank you, Williams family for letting me photograph all of these moments for you. You're the best!
First up: adorable sisters, Claire & Reagan!
Little brother Luke is a doll! And that outfit with the teeny, tiny baby suspenders and tweed pants- I die!
I'm fairly certain those kiddo giggles came about after Mike happened to say something to the effect of "reindeer poop". Ha! Whatever works, right?
This moment was the cutest thing ever! Claire & Reagan thought it was hilarious that Luke kept trying to crawl towards the camera, so they each grabbed a suspender and held on for dear life :)
People sometimes wonder what a photo shoot with me is like. I can tell you one thing: it's fun! I would rather spend my time photographing your family as they really are, versus putting you in posed arrangements to get that "perfect" shot. I want you to hold each print in your hand and hear the laughs that went along with that moment in time. I want you to pass by a framed print in your home and think about the way it truly captured your youngest child's natural smile when it seems SO hard to get that smile in a photo otherwise.
Above all else: we have fun, and then I deliver those feel good moments back to you in the most beautiful prints you have laid hands on.
"Tiffany has been taking our pictures over the past 5 years! We can't say enough wonderful things about her! She is able to perfectly capture our children's personalities and has given us so many memories to treasure forever! I highly recommend using Tiffany for any of your photography needs! She is the best and we love her dearly!" -Katie Gareau Williams
