samantha, travis, miryam and norah: hillsborough family photographer

this is from one of my mini photo shoots earlier in the year! I loved it that samantha, travis, miryam and norah brought props--they're always such a great addition to a shoot!

elena, chris and kim: carrboro newborn photographer

it's been a very busy last two months, but I am looking forward to catching up on blogging now that I'm done with all of my weddings for the year! I still have some shoots coming up this weekend and while I'm in Oklahoma and Texas for the holidays, but after that it's time to bundle up and enjoy the winter!

also, please keep an eye out for a giveaway coming out VERY soon!

in the meantime...is this little gal adorable or what? she and her fabulous parents let me come to visit them in their beautiful home! I just loved their style--I kept seeing things in their house and thinking how I'd love to have something like that in a future home!



little elena was such a peach! I can't wait to see how much she has changed since I took these!

michele + quent = married! raleigh wedding photographer

what an amazing saturday afternoon! and an amazing couple! michele and quent were married in raleigh at pleasant grove united methodist church--the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing and the light was incredible!



I loved that they served danny's bar-b-que at their reception--what a southern touch! it was held at the raleigh elks lodge and both the reception area and the grounds were gorgeous! I loved it that there were so many special touches for their day--they gave away seed paper flowers, michele had her grandmothers' pins on her bouquet and quent even found a penny (heads up!) when we were doing some of the couple pictures! such a special day, indeed :)

my new printer baby

last friday night I went to multiple stores bound and determined to procure a printer--specifically, a wifi enabled, prints-directly on cds, capable-of-printing-awesome-photos kind of printer. oh, and I had a budget.



and then I found this little dude. and since the only one left in the store was the floor model, and they couldn't find the price or the cords or the ink or the installation books, I was left to find my new printer friend elsewhere. thank goodness for amazon.



I am over the MOON about this printer. who knew it could, quite literally, make my day? last night I spent 5 minutes telling one of my best friend about how much awesomeness was shining through everything it printer.



I love it! see how awesome my client's discs look? they're all in the mail, y'all! more printer awesomeness soon... :)

kara: durham headshots photographer

kara wanted updated photographs of herself to share with her parents and to celebrate her birthday--and I am SO glad she had them done because she looks AMAZING.



I mean, seriously, she's gorgeous, right? I love her hair, her outfits and her blue eyes! just stunning! I'm going to add some more of her images to my site too--so keep an eye out!

lauren + pat =married! mebane wedding photographer

if I had to sum up lauren and pat's wedding in a word, that word would be incredible--the venue was picturesque, I loved the colors, lauren looked radiant, pat looked polished, and it was a sunny (and hot!) day! I loved it that everyone partied the night away too!

and pine lake pavilion was just fantastic! the light in the trees, the details of the venue, and just the overall gorgeousness--I was blown away!

I had been looking forward to this wedding for over a year--and especially since I did their engagement photos! and it did not disappoint :)



I must say--the guys totally rocked their pink, yes? and the horse drawn carriage was unbelievable! and at the bottom, those are lauren's something olds--so sweet!

love these? go check out the rest of their wedding under "recent weddings" here!
