When Alyssa reached out to me to capture Sam's maternity session I was elated. Apparently I had been recommended to them by multiple people in the Triangle (thank you photog family) and they knew that I'd be able to capture their growing family effortlessly. Transplants from California this was more than capturing their second addition, but encapsulating this summer in the south (they did mention that the humidity was killer) But they powered through like champs. They also wanted to have a few snaps with their daughter Avery (who was more interested in the flowers than taking photos but that’s okay)

I also wanted to impose some West Coast elements into their photos so that they might feel closer to home in these images. (I know that there isn’t that much to work with here but Fred Fletcher has a nice variety of plants to work with)

If their faces look familiar you might recognize them their Youtube channel - Sam&Alyssa (which you can check out here)
