Engagement Photographer: Heather Lauffer for Tamara Lackey Photography Location: Chapel Hill Known to many as Miss Sprint Cup and recognized as one of NASCAR's 50 Most Beautiful People, Monica Palumbo is known by those closest to her as "the sweetest girl you will ever meet." I first met Monica about 10 years ago and was struck by her genuine charm and warm demeanor. Even my oldest son (he's 6) is head-over-heels for her, with an autographed picture of her in his room! W

Newborn Photographer: Heather Lauffer Location: Raleigh, North Carolina What an absolute honey newborn Baylor was to photograph!

Jessi Blakely for Tamara Lackey Photography: I have known Berta for a long time...and she has known Seth for even longer. We go back to the Durham School of the Arts middle school days, but Berta and Seth take all the way back to kindergarten. About a year and a few months ago I asked Berta and Seth if they would model for me for a shoot I wanted to do...engagement-esque in Duke Gardens on a lovely early spring day. We had a blast...they are so comfortable with each other

Heather Lauffer for Tamara Lackey Photography: I am a red head...and also the proud mother of two of the BLONDEST boys you've seen! Two year old Andrew epitomizes what my children would have looked like, if they had been born with red hair! Andrew was an absolute blast to photograph and you would never know from his pictures that he and I shared a Cheerio fight :) Stay tuned for more from Andrew's session...

Heather Lauffer for Tamara Lackey Photography: I was contacted by the Davis family fairly soon after Kim learned she would be expecting a sweet little boy. Kim and I exchanged messages of excitement, in preparation for Owen's very first photo shoot. "Do you have props, cute hats, what if I buy something for him to wear....can you PLEASE do that adorable chin in the hands pose?!" Of course my answer to each question was a "yes, I have it or yes, I can do that pose"...and h

Jessi Blakely for Tamara Lackey Photography: I love when parents want to capture the important life changes in their children's lives...for example, the loss of teeth! Cameron came in last week to see me missing the two teeth front and center. I asked him how he lost them and he told me that he lost one zip-lining (yikes!) and his dad pulled the other one out....all in the same day! Now that is a momentous occasion!

Jessi Blakely for Tamara Lackey Photography: It is so inspiring to see a couple that has been married for 50 years that treat each other with such deep love and consideration. Ben and Brenda met on a blind date on Halloween in L.A. Little did they know that blind date would blossom into a lifetime of happiness together. It was such an honor to be a part of their 50th Wedding Anniversary! Thank you Brenda and Ben for everything!

After a tumultuous season of hard-to-predict weather, we were blessed with a beautifully sunny day when this little one and her family drove up from Atlanta for a fun romp outside. Many more to come, but a glimpse of a little modified sun salutation ...
