Sweet Zoe | Raleigh Durham Photographer

I finally got to meet my friend Casey's new baby girl today!!  Casey is a sweet friend, who shares the same passion as i do about photography.  She is an amazing photographer, an incredible hair stylist, and just a downright, awesome person all around.  She and her husband have been through so many ups and downs this past year, to say the very absolute least.  She was pregnant with her son Asher, who devastatingly passed away, the same day he was born.   The Lord works in mysterious ways, and this past Christmas, Casey and Dan became proud parents to Zoe, whom they were able to adopt in the quickest adoption process i've ever heard of!  So i present to you, little miss Zoe Chappell...i could just eat her up she's so cute!  You can read more about Casey and Dan's story on their blog and see Casey's awesome photography here.  

SNOW in Wake Forest

To you guys in the North, snow is no big deal...but to us here in the South, it is a HUGE deal.  The last snow we had of any significance, that i can remember, was @ 9 years ago, when i was pregnant with Patrick...21 inches to be exact.  We received about 5 inches at our house yesterday.  You would think it was Christmas, the way the kids reacted when they awoke screaming!!

Here is Colin...snowmen were decorated with a Snowman Family Kit, given to us by Lawson's sister for Christmas.

Patrick making snow angels...
Samson LOVED the snow.  I have no idea how he sat there like this...don't they get cold??
A little wet kiss :)
A beautiful image of the woods behind our neighbors house...snow makes eveything look beautiful  (until it melts and becomes all dirty and slushy! :)  It was fun for a day...and will be gone tomorrow, as the high is way above freezing and sunny today!
