Winston-Salem Baby Photographer – LOVE THIS BABY!
I love this little one and her adorable brother! Caroline is your basic photographer’s dream baby and how lucky for her mother…. who is a photographer.
I had such a blast in the studio with these two…. quite the workout, but, loved every minute. Caroline’s mommy recently took my one-on-one mentoring course and she ended up shooting at this session too! That is where the out-take shot comes in below…. Enjoy!

here is a shot that Emily took and the result is above….









Asheville Children’s Photographer – more mini-sessions… :)
Just playing catch up on my blogging! I’ve been posting a lot of sneak peeks on facebook and have neglected this poor blog, yet again.
Luckily, I have so much to write in the near future, so stay tuned. The mini-sessions for my new studio are now over and what a huge success! Thanks to everyone that participated. Here are a few more from the past two weeks. Enjoy!









Photography Workshop – Atlanta, Ga
I’m just now blogging about this? The days are flying by this holiday season!
The Atlanta workshop was so much fun! I had a great time getting to know those who attended. Our models were amazing! I had a hard time instructing, because, I wanted to photograph these little beauties! lol. That said, I did manage a few images below… and, check out the out-take images… too funny!
I’m still working the details out for the next workshop… sometime in the spring.







whoa! i’m flexible.

Asheville, NC Children’s Photographer – Simon is 3
Well, I should say he is 3 and a 1/2! That’s what he made a point of telling me when he came in to the studio two days ago. Sweet kiddo and a personality that just doesn’t stop!
It is always to fun to see my client’s grow… I’ve known and photographed Simon since newborn and technically…before, with Samantha’s maternity photos.
Now he’s talking and jumping… and jumping.
I wanted to share a few before I head to Atlanta for my Woodstock Workshop. Looking forward to meeting some great girls and seeing my sister. Have a great weekend!!!





Raleigh, NC Baby Photographer – Little Isabelle
What a cutie! I managed to fit in a baby session while I was in Raleigh, NC on Sunday with the adorable Isabelle. She is the first grandchild and everyone in the family can’t get enough of her… and I can’t blame them! When she smiles, her eyes literally light up and sparkle. Thanks to Lauren and the entourage of Grandmother’s… it was great meeting you! Check out this sweetie below….

Last shot of the day below…. look at that face and check out that pose.

Asheville Wedding Photographer – Mandy and Michael
What a beautiful wedding to wrap up a wonderful year! This was my last 2010 wedding… and I loved it!
Mandy and Michael were married at the Crest Pavillion. The ceremony was outside over looking the Blue Ridge Mountains covered in fall colors… Mandy has the most contagious smile. So genuine and sweet, I can’t imagine her without it… you’ll see what I mean in the photos below. The decor was amazing! Red roses and candles everywhere… so romantic.
Thanks to Emily McCollin with Occasions by Emily for pulling together such a beautiful day… also to Camilla Calnan with Camilla Calnan Photography – you and your husband are so easy to work with!




yet, another flower girl that won my heart.


Check out the very large wedding party!

Best to Mandy and Michael! Have a blessed marriage.

Enjoy the sweet baby.

Biltmore Estate Wedding Photographer – Jasmine and Nick
I loved this couple from the moment we met! I’ve been looking forward to this wedding since the summer… I just adore a fall wedding. Not to mention, Jasmine and Nick chose Biltmore Estate as the backdrop to their perfect day…. Little did we know, there was a movie being filmed right in front of the Estate. The crew, however, were gracious enough to stop production for a few minutes so that I could get a picture of my couple with the home in the background. AND…We had a chance to meet the lead actress, Lucy Liu, and my couple had their picture with her. Hilarious. If you’d like to see the image, make sure to friend me on facebook.

Jasmine and Nick wanted to meet before the wedding and go around the Estate for photographs… I love this moment below. Jasmine is patiently waiting to see Nick for the first time.


I just loved the bouquet! Major props to The Purple Iris!






Fun outtake image of the movie “Marry Me”…. this is right before they stopped production for us so that we could take a few images of the couple in front of the Estate!



This wedding was very intimate. The Champagne Cellar made for the perfect reception.



The night ended with a wonderful speech by the groom’s brother… who also acted as our chauffeur during our couple session.

Natural Light Studio – Promo sessions part 1
The month of November is flying by so quickly! My mini-sessions in studio have been a hit and so much fun! Of course, this time of year is full of sessions and editing…. I know I will catch up, it’s just a matter of when?
I wanted to share some images from the past week before heading to Raleigh for another TRES Boudoir tour. Have a great weekend!















Asheville Children’s photographer – The Pulliam Family
I had a great time photographing the Pulliam family. Talk about incredible genes! Such gorgeous kids and sweet personalities to match…. combine that with a beautiful, fall day = PERFECTION. I’ve been meaning to blog this for awhile, but the holiday rush is in full swing. Many more posts coming soon!
Enjoy.




love this…
