Let the fun begin

It's time to share some pictures from all my sittings in October! There are so many to share. I think I have a sampling ready from all of them. If yours was missed just let me know!

You may remember these guys from baby Grace's newborn shots a couple months ago. She is getting so big already and is very sweet. Everyone is just in Love with her. We had a great time at the farm where Maddy takes riding lessons.




This daddy daughter moment is one of my current favorite shots!




I bet this is a shot the girls will look back on when they are older with great fondness.




Can we say family of gorgeous peeps? The last time I shot at this location it was really bright and sunny. How fun to be able to get a different feel for a familiar location. Most of the time I like going to different places all the time. It's just more fun for me that way. :-)










We picked just the right time for our shoot too. They even turned on the water wheel for a tour coming through the mill. Lucky us.


If you are a Facebook fan there is an even better version of this picture for you to see. Though I love this one too. With the new way Facebook is managing the Home page feed it is only giving the feed for people and pages you interact with {like comments on photos or walls}. Please feel free to leave comments on the wall or your favorite photos to see our updates!


This picture is my favorite from their shoot. They all look so happy and natural.

Lots of great stuff coming

We are enjoying our fabulous time in Arizona. I have some wonderful pictures to show you soon. We are looking forward to the wedding tomorrow! Kristi & I met on Tuesday night to finish talking all about the wedding and preview some of the great products we offer. There will be no Fine Art Friday showcase today, because we are short on time. Have a great weekend!

Fine Art Friday - Bumble Bee at Work

It's technically still Friday! lol Well, I thought this was posted at noon today. Ooops!

This sweet image was captured last week when I was waiting for my clients to arrive on location. Sweet day with awesome perfect clouds for this location.

A little bit of everything! - Christmas Card sessions!!!

First off, I am happy to announce three days of mini sessions with Christmas cards And an 11x14! The Saturday will be November 7th from 10:30 am until 4:00 pm with fabulous downtown Raleigh as your backdrop! Monday November 9th & Wednesday November 18th will both be from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm with the pretty Lake Benson park as your backdrop!

Each session will last about 25 minutes and we'll take a few poses in the same area to give some variety and texture to your Christmas cards. Please feel free to spread the word on this great deal! Referral credits will be $5 for any booked Christmas card session you refer. All regular sessions booked will still be a $20 credit. Of course, our regular full custom sessions will have the opportunity to get their own custom Christmas cards!




The rest of these shots are all from recent sessions I just haven't had time to blog about!

This silhouette is soooo stinking cool. We were on our way to the shoot location when this great run down industrial site. On our way back we stopped her for a few shots. Love them all. Ladies who are preggo, it isn't all about the naked belly anymore. We can really showcase this special time in your life with so many cool shots. You'll see more of these later for sure!


By the way, my girl here is about 5' 1"! Doesn't she look waaay taller?


These guys were a lot of fun.


Most of my session pictures are the typical shot you see on my blog with the great contrast & saturated rich colors. A few families lately have really fit having a more vintage look to some of their shots. They have all loved those vintage edits too. I love this family, and we've really become friends over the last year of sessions every three months. It will be sad to 'only' get to spend the fun session time every 6 months now. We do get to have play dates though, which has been loads of fun.


The next two storyboards are of a brother and sister. I think they will look great hanging on the wall side by side or in their seperate rooms! They shared some cupcakes at the end of our session for some fun and messy shots.




The last two storyboards are of one of my pretty seniors. Her and I are both total chatterboxes so we hit it off immediately. There was this great bridge it would have been cool to get her up on the concrete cross piece. Unfortunately we didn't have a big strong man with us or a ladder! The small attempt we made at trying to get her up there ended up with my foot 1/2 inch away from a fire ant hill! Yeah, we aborted.
