Candy and Matt – Session in Savannah, Ga
So…. I just adore Candy and Matt. I’ve photographed their little boy for years, but, this was my first chance to work with just the two of them. Candy had approached me a while ago about shooting a 10 year anniversary session. I jumped at the opportunity, especially since Candy offered to fly me to Savannah, Ga for the weekend. Savannah is special to them for two reasons: 1- they grew up there… and 2- they were married there. 
I haven’t been to Savannah in so long… I needed a mini-vacation. All I can say is… thank you to Candy and Matt! The company was great and the seafood… AMAZING. Can’t wait to work with you again…
This is the courtyard they were married 10 years ago…
We headed to the beach for some fun!
An Irish Wedding Slideshow
I have so many images from this wedding. It has been a daunting task to edit. I think in part, I loved this trip so much that it’s hard to bring myself to finish.
Fiona and Chris have such a sweet love. I decided to put together a slideshow for them, they have been so patient. There is a black and white theme going on, but if you make it to the end… it will hopefully make sense? I also decided to use the music from the processional during the ceremony. It is so moving. Enjoy!
FYI: PLEASE PRESS PLAY AND THEN PRESS PAUSE. ALLOW THE VIDEO TO LOAD FOR 3 MINUTES AND THEN PRESS PLAY AGAIN. THIS WILL HELP THE SLIDESHOW RUN SMOOTHLY. 
Sweet Ella and a sea of flowers…
I wanted to post a few of Ella and my follow-up session with the Wright kids. We chose one of my favorite locations for a mini-shoot in the flowers. I just adore this little girl. Such a personality. Thanks to Becky for making the drive to little Ol’ Marion.
I’m flying to Savannah today for a session and will return on Monday. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Rachel and Kyle- Wedding on the Farm
I have to admit, I was a little sad at this wedding. This is the last of the three daughters and I had the pleasure of photographing each wedding. I just adore their mother, Susan, who has become a mother figure to me over the years. It was bittersweet.
Rachel and Kyle have dated for years and it was great to see them married. I loved the theme of yellow and blue! So many bright colors on a not-so-bright day…. luckily, the rain held off for us until the reception.
Oh yeah, did I mention they held the wedding at Rachel’s home which also happens to be a Cow Farm in Linville. I love this location! I had so much to work with….fields of flowers, rocks, barns, and of course…cows. I just loved the cows. Special Congrats to Rachel and Kyle and thank you for the awesome gift! I can’t wait to use it in future shoots.
Susan made the DELICIOUS lemon tarts and Rachel’s grandmother made the quilt for the couple.
I saw these chairs and had to use them for a shot…. It was finally Rachel’s turn.
Probably my favorite part of the day… Dad cried, actually I think everyone did?
Best Friends forever.
Sweet Newborn – 7 days old…
It was so great to meet Anna Heath! I love that my brides are having babies! Megahn and Blake were married last year and now here we are… sweet little newborn. Talk about an easy session…she slept the whole time and was an easy baby to handle. I am hoping that the sleeping trend continues “through the night” for Megahn soon.
Krystal and Cameron – Married…
I am so happy for Krystal and Cameron! I have known this couple for a long time. I photographed her sister’s wedding last year and it was great hanging with a lot of the same crowd again! Krystal chose to keep the wedding close to home and The Barn House Inn was the perfect setting.
Lucy and Riley – sweet sisters…
These two girls take beauty to a whole new level! I met up with the family at the botanical gardens in Asheville and we had a great time. I was especially thrilled to use my newest “find”- an antique stroller from 1930. I knew this session would be perfect. Amita, it was great to see you again! This first image is lovely! I couldn’t decide which to show…so, I’m going with both! I just adore Riley’s expression.
I wasn’t getting alot of smiles at first…
They warmed up to me though…. just look at those eyes!
of course… I love a naked baby.
Adria – Raleigh Bridal Session
I’ve been back and forth across this state two times over this week! Lots of time to reflect on life and jam out to my radio! I had the pleasure of shooting Adria’s bridal portraits at the Rose Garden last friday. The day started a bit late due to her involvement (not her fault) in a car accident. Luckily, she was unharmed and managed to show for the session. We had a blast! After shooting formals at the garden, we set out for the NC State campus for some fun! Adria- you are just gorgeous! Thanks for such a fun time! Here are a few from last week:
Mitzi – CD session
I’m loving shooting CD covers… Mitzi is a Gospel singer and just the sweetest person. I love that she is pursuing her love of Gospel and I look forward to hearing her CD. We had a great time driving around Marion a few weeks ago and talk about the perfect light! I couldn’t have asked for better shooting conditions.
Here are just a few. Check out her amazing eyes!
BABIES!!!
Wow! I definetely had my “baby fix” this past week. I went to visit my sister in Wilmington, NC and we put together a portrait party for her friends… There wasn’t a kid over the age of two… that is a full day! We had smiles, tears, spit-up, and lots of laughter!
I enjoyed the entire group and I’m so glad I had a chance to photograph my newphew, Bennett. He is the cutie below with the faux-hawk. Thanks to those that could make it! I had a great time meeting you all!
