Meet Tommy, Connor and Christian.
I had been in contact with their Dad for a while now about scheduling a session and I am so happy that we were able to find a date to get it done. I had a great time!
We started the session at their home and then headed downtown for some urban shots.
Love this one!
Downtown…
Having some fun!
A few more individual images…
Tommy, Connor and Christian - thanks for being so great to work with and such great sports!
I met A & E at the end of June. I traveled to Chicago for the session and it was such a great day. I had a great time with them and their parents, Jen and Matt.
These little guys are a miracle. Their parents have been waiting for them for a while and labor was not easy on their Mommy. Everyone is doing well now and it was really such a treat to travel to Chicago to photograph them!
On my way there..left Raleigh around 8am and got home around midnight.
My little models for the day..A & E!
They were born at 34 weeks on June 1 and I photographed them on June 30. They were around 5lbs each at the time of the session.
Love this one!
It is so amazing to watch them interact and how they hold each other.
This is Pup, Jen and Matt’s first baby.
Here is Pup and her baby Eowyn, Matt and Jen’s second baby with the new set of babies:)
This cradle actually came from the babies’ great grandfather! I was so excited when i saw it and knew we had to use it in some of the pictures!
And the beautiful quilt was made by Jen and Matt’s friend Natalie.
Here are A & E with George, their Grandmother’s dog.
The new family.
This one makes me smile:)
What a wonderful day! Jen and Matt - it was so nice to spend the day with you and meet your beautiful children!
I hope to see you again soon!
Erika and Eddie’s wedding day was amazing. It was a beautiful day in Chapel Hill, a little warm but not too bad. A day full of happiness, emotion and wonderful families. We are so happy we were able to be a part of it.
They got ready at the Franklin Hotel and had their ceremony and reception at the Carolina Inn.
Starting off with some at the Franklin Hotel…
Erika and Eddie’s day was full of emotion. This was Erika’s dad reaction when he first saw Erika all dressed and ready to go.
He was so happy, proud and thankful.
Love this moment, while they were waiting to walk down the aisle.
Erika’s dad looking over the lyrics of the song he was going to sing when the pastor asked ” Who gives this bride away? ”
Singing the song… It was really such a touching moment!
He,he…this pic cracks me up! Amber ( one of our assistants and part of the AMLT team) and me were demonstrating to E & E the next pose and Seth( who was doing video) grabbed one of my cameras and got this shot of us:)
Some of the amazing details. The flowers were done by Lyn Graves of Fresh Affairs and the cake by Good Taste Cake Designs.

Jenny and Ethan were married on July 26, 2008. The weather was great and they had a beautiful ceremony at the Duke Chapel and reception at the Washington Duke Inn.
Here are a few of my favorites from the day.
The kiss..
Love Grandma’s expression in this one!
During the first dance.
Jenny sang to Ethan during the reception.
Towards the end of the reception, we went outside for a few more portraits. The light was beautiful!
Thanks to my friend Penny was second shooting this one with me!
Congratulations Jenny and Ethan!

We came back from out of town to find our phone line not working:(
They were supposed to fix it yesterday, never came and now they are supposed to come tomorrow.
It is very frustrating as I cannot make or receive calls. Just wanted to let you know in case you are trying to contact us.
You can contact us via email at bianca@amomentlikethis.net
It should be back to normal tomorrow.
thanks for your understanding!

The office will be closed next week and will reopen on August 18. There were a few sessions and a wedding I was hoping to blog before then, but haven’t been able to. So, I thought I would do a sneak peek of the sneak peek:)
Here are a few images from some recent sessions and a wedding that I will be blogging about when the office reopens.
A newborn twins session in Chicago:
The An urban dance session in Old San Juan:
A newborn baby session:
The July 19, 2008 Wedding:
Check back soon for some more images from these sessions and wedding!
To start off, some of Krista’s bridal portraits…
Some wedding day images…
Congratulations Krista and Brandon!
Viviana & Jared are getting married in less than two weeks so I wanted to get some of their engagement portraits on the blog before the big day!
We shot these earlier this month in Puerto Rico! We had such a great time exploring Old San Juan.
When Viviana booked me for her wedding in NY several months ago, we talked about possibly doing an engagement session in NY if I made it over there at some point before the wedding( we have family up north). Well, it didn’t look like that was going to work out, but it worked out even better! Viviana and Jared were going to be in Puerto Rico while we were going to be there on vacation, so what better place to have the session than in PR where Viviana grew up!
Here are some of my favorites:
Love all the beautiful colors in Old San Juan!
Their engagement rings:)
A great way to end the session! It was very warm out:)
Viviana & Jared - Congratulations and I will see you guys very soon!
