“BEST OF THE BEST”

This post may be a little late this year but it is definitely a favorite! I ALMOST skipped it this year because I don’t have time to go through all my sessions, so these ones are really only ones I thought of off the top of my head. I am sure I could of come up with one for each of my sessions though!

Keep reading to see if your session was featured in this year’s superlative list.

BEST BABY SMILES

It may be gas, or they may really like me 😉

Either way I love a good baby smile.

STORMIEST SESSION- WELL ALMOST!

This session almost didn’t happen, but we got those photos in right before the storm came. Epic clouds always come with stormy sessions and they are some of my FAVES~

BIGGEST SURPRISE (IT’S A TIE!)

Still a sucker for romance. Both these sessions made my face hurt from smiling the entire time. I chose both of these suprise engagement sessions because they both had completely different approaches by the man. I am always so nervous for them and anxious and excited, and just all the feels. Love these sessions.

MOST FUN GIRLS TRIP

Every year, this is the session I wish I was a part of. They have FUNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!! And I love how they didn’t let the pandemic stop them this year either! Epic yearly girls trip will always make my list.

FAVORITE “I’M DONE” BABY EXPRESSION

We wore him out! haha

BEST “NON-SUNSET” LIGHT and SKIES

This was before sunset because it was supposed to rain, but I remember leaving this session thinking about how much I loved the light here.

WETTEST SESSIONS!

There were so many this year but these were a couple I remember the most.

CUTEST BABY AND DOGGIE CAKE SMASH

Anyone who knows me, knows I am obsessed with dogs and babies… and cake comes pretty close as well. So naturally this was a favorite session of mine.

BEST SESSION “GETAWAY” TO THE ILM ISLANDS

Even though I basically fell into a bed of oysters and may of yelled a couple of non kid friendly words while trying to get out, this was still a magical session. Anytime I go to Masonboro for “work” makes it one of my favorite sessions. Plus, the sunset this evening was incredible and the couple was amazing!

MY FAVORITE BABY PHOTO THIS YEAR (THAT COMES TO MIND)

I mean… a baby…. a dad in uniform… what goes better in a photo?

MEMORABLE DAD MOMENTS

There were so many fun dads this year but these two stuck out in my mind the most.

FAVORITE MOM MOMENTS

SO SO MANY favorite mom moments, but I LOVE this one because of them being older kids. Most of my cuddling with mom shots are with little kiddos, so I decided to choose a different one and I just ADORE these!

FAVORITE SENIOR SESSIONS

I have been loving the senior sessions lately, and love to see these young ladies feel beautiful. These two sessions were two that did just that.

MOST BIRDS IN A SESSION

This session was right in the middle of Wrightsville Beach bird mating season. We even got a little lesson from a local bird expert in the middle of our session!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR SESSION WOULD BE “BEST OF”… I KNOW I MISSED SO MANY OF THEM!

THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY FAMILY WHO HAS ALLOWED ME TO PHOTOGRAPH THEIR FAMILY AND DOCUMENT MEMORIES FOR THEM. I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU!

XOXO,

ERICA
