Can I just say “I LOVE Maggie Valley, North Carolina” and not just because its home to Cataloochee Ski Resort.  But because there are gorgeous families and perfect places to photograph them.

Rustic barns, streams and leaves on the ground. Perfect.

Tammi and her family came down from Chicago for the week to visit her sister. What a GREAT time of year to have family portraits made! It took little Luke a while to warm up to everyone making funny noises and calling his name to get him to look at the camera, but he got the hang of it. If only the gnats had stayed away!
