{family} Come Together | Lake Norman NC | Tish Mackay Photography

It all started with a giggle and maybe even a few lollipop. This 4th of July weekend was filled with family. Five families joined together; four sisters, two grandparents, four husbands and some super cute kids. There was no crying, only laughter on this cool summer day. Who could ask for a better day?

Thanks to everyone for such a great afternoon of jumping, smiling and just plain fun.

Over July 4th weekend, I headed up to the Peninsula in Lake Norman, NC to shoot five very fun and super friendly families. This sneak peek is of the four sisters and the their parents. Just wait until you see all the cute kids. More to come later this week.

It didn’t start off well. He came in the house in his little car seat all bundled from the cold afternoon. As soon as I saw his little face, I had to smile. Funny thing is, he began to cry. I was worried I scared him or upset his day, but it was neither. He bounced right back into his happy mood as soon as he was lifted from his seat. All he wanted was to be held.

Hudson joined our family two months ago. He’s such a handsome little boy full of personality.

Oh, and before I forget. Hudson has his very own guard dog – - Lucy. She made sure that I didn’t harm Hudson. Check out her ears.

{Family Shoot} W Family | Huntersville, NC | Tish Mackay Photography

The W Family is amazing. They are all kind, polite and super smart; plus they have three dogs that I said I would kidnap in a heartbeat for being such sweethearts.

Meet Jody and Chris plus the pups – Chloe, Barkley and Doc (left to right):

And here’s Blaine (8) and Tyler (12).

This family are huge dog lover (which makes me love this family even more). All of the W family dogs have been adopted from different rescue groups. They are also the best dogs to photograph. I think they stood or sat still for most of the pictures without any complaints.

And check out the men of this family. One word: Handsome.

Last but not least is the whole family all together with the dogs. We shot most of these pictures near a golf course and when Chris said Jody’s dad is a huge golfer, we jumped at the chance to get a shot on the green.

Thanks W Family for letting me spend some time with you and shooting your upcoming Christmas card. Have a super holiday season!

p.s. Tish Mackay Photography will be at Birkdale Village at Bella Ropa this Saturday from 11am-2pm taking pictures with Santa to benefit Project HALO.

Hope to see you there!

Friday Favorite Things

I’m not sure if anyone would agree, but this felt like the longest week ever. I can’t even believe that a week ago today, I was headed to Cummings, GA to see my brother and his family. I got there around dinner time to see my four favorite people (and one cute dog-cousin) sitting on the porch waiting to welcome me into their home for a jam-packed weekend. We spent the next couple of days eating lots of good food, seeing animals at the zoo, having drawing contests, running up the road to get ice cream and also a visit to the local fish hatchery for a little fishing. I was so sad when Sunday came along and it was time to head back to the Carolinas. Good thing, I have another trip planned to head back in October for my nephew’s sixth birthday.

Here’s a few favorite pictures from my GA weekend. Enjoy and have a super weekend!

Have you ever spent the day with two children under the age of two? Anything and everything is amazing to these beautiful kids from the Hoffman family, plus they never stopped moving. I had such a great time seeing both of their personalities come out during this shoot.

Could she be any more cute? I want to squeeze her!

Those curls are way too adorable. He is so handsome.

Little Mary Sunshine herself.

Bubble time!

How do you say no to this face?

Last but not least, is super mom. Not only is Iesha the mother of these two awesome kids, but she works full-time during the day and an actor in the evening with Shakespeare Carolina. She’s the lead in the upcoming play starting today of Antony and Cleopatra. So yes, you could say she has her hands full. She will be the first to admit that her husband Tad, will swoop in from time to time to save the day as well.

Did I mention she’s absolutely stunning? Can’t wait to see her on stage – break a leg!
