I absolutely love everything about this time of the year! Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of my favorite holidays! I still can’t believe that we are a week away from Thanksgiving and just a few weeks away from Christmas! This year has gone by so fast!

This past weekend I got to hang out with these guys at JC Raulston Arboretum. It’s always good catching up with the Coopers! I am in love with the black and gold outfits that they chose to wear for portraits this year! Very elegant and classy! We met close to sunset on a Saturday and spent some time adventuring through the garden! JC Raulston Arboretum is one of my favorite locations in Raleigh for outdoor portraits! There are so many little nooks that are perfect for portraits! There were probably 20 other photographers inside of the park but you would never know from the photos!

Sheena impresses me every year with her ideas and attention to detail! If you’ve ever put together outfits for portraits, you know that finding the perfect outfits for portraits isn’t easy! Check out a few of their holiday portraits!
