Stephaine + Davis = Engaged

I had the honor of photgraphing my dear friend Stephanie's engagement session on the beach in Wilmington, NC a few weeks ago. She and Davis are so stinking cute together!! I get to capture the "getting ready" shots of Stephanie on her wedding day in the spring, which is a huge honor for me. All of our college buddies will have a little reunion during the wedding weekend festivities, too -FUN!!

from my home to yours

There's nothing like hamming it up for the camera with a fresh mohawk! My boys are the coolest.

2007 Highlights

Here are just a few fun highlights from a wonderful year...enjoy!

Jeannie+Richard=Married

Jeannie and Richard were married in Asheboro on a clear, gorgeous October day. I was so excited about their wedding after getting to know them from our engaggement and bridal portrait sessions. These people rock! There was so much love in that group that it felt like the walls of the ballroom at the Asheboro Country Club were glowing! This is why I love what I do...

What I've been up to...

I have been overloaded with editing weddings from the busy fall wedding season! Still, I've managed to sneak away some time with my boys outside in the leaves or cuddling at home by the fire. I have to admit that they are always my favorite subjects to photograph :)

Carolina Inn Wedding

Jessica and Michael's wedding was on one of our hot NC autumn days. It was beauitful and I could not get over her dress. One of her aunts, an amazing designer, made it as a wedding gift for Jessica...how cool is that? Jessica looked so elegant in it and of course, Michael could not take his eyes off of her throughout the entire day.

New Site and Gallery Show!

My newly designed web site is up! I still have lots of photographs to upload, but I'm excited to have so many new images up in one place.

Nicole & Chris

This lovely couple was married at Duke Chapel. If you've never been there, it is hard to describe the quiet beauty you sense once you've stepped inside.

Family snapshots

Here are some most-recent quick shots of my awesome boys, Caleb and Noah and my husband, David, while we were on our beach vacation this summer. We had the best time doing nothing but being together that week!

Grandover Resort Event

Tonelle and Shayne were married at the beautiful Grandover Resort in Greensboro, NC. They live in New York City, so this was a special time to have their friends and family travel from near and far to celebrate!
