Happy Valentines Day!

Yesterday we woke up here in Chatham County to the prefect snow. I went outside while my sweetie made pancakes and I photographed these peaceful scenes in the country landscape. Later on in the day the vibe changed dramatically when we went to our third annual Mardi Gras Celebration at Chatham Mills in Pittsboro. I am lucky to have such a wonderful husband to help me set up lights and gear and keep the drunken partiers from knocking the whole setup down. The last picture is of us in our Mardi Gras finery taking a break from being behind the camera while our friend Matt Rudolf snapped our picture. Have a wonderful Valentines Day everyone and be sure to thank those that you love for all that they do for you!

Baby Aubrey

Meet Aubrey, the sweetest six-month-old around. She is so adorable! I wanted to take her home after her session, but even though we had such a great time together, she wanted to stay with her Memaw. Cute cute cute!
