The Ormsbee family is from Florida, but since Lauren is from Asheville, she thought that their trip up to visit her family would be the perfect time and place for a fun family session—and a big announcement! Little Lilah is being promoted to Big Sister in a few short months! Lauren has been so excited to tell little Lilah and knows she will be a great big sister!:)

Family Fun in The Sun

We went to the trendy area of the River Arts District by the French Broad River in North Carolina. The artistic murals, cute store fronts, and idyllic walking path by the river gave us some built-in props and backdrops for a broad collection of pictures—it was a two in one session filled with both the tranquility of nature and the colors of the city! The session was so much fun because we just rolled with whatever we were feeling (or maybe more what Lilah was feeling).

My favorites are of Lilah holding a sign announcing her promotion. She did not know what to think and showed ALL the emotions—she quickly moved from dramatic tears to playful smirks and finally happy laughter. She is the cutest thing, and I had a blast capturing her little personality. Now that she’s a toddler, she is really taking in the world around her and having fun doing it. I have no doubt that she will be an amazing big sister, even if she doesn’t quite know what to expect yet.

As their Fun Family Session Photographer I had a blast capturing this lovely family! I couldn’t help but have the biggest grin while taking their pictures! I am so excited for this growing family, and I was so blessed by the opportunity to spend time with them as I captured this momentous time in their lives! Congrats Orsmbee Family!
