Bobbi and Ron - Engagement Session at Duke Gardens

Duke Gardens is always such a beautiful place to photograph portraits. Bobbi and Ron live nearby, so we met one sunny morning for their engagement portraits. These two lovebirds were actually high school sweethearts. They separated when Ron went off to college. They lived their separate lives and one day at a football game they ran back into each other. The surprise came when those old feelings returned, and they found themselves together again. This time they are getting married, up on a mountain top in the early morning. These two are super cute and in love... yea for long lost love found again!

Benjamin's first photo session

I was visiting my sister Katie, and her husband Jay, shortly after little Benjamin was born. Katie and Jay wanted to have some pictures taken for the baby announcement, so we took some pictures of sweet Ben while he was napping. I do believe I have the cutest nephew!

Jenn and Grant ~ A Perfect April Wedding

I was thrilled to be invited to photograph the wedding of Jenn and Grant. Jenn was the perfect bride, Grant was a charming groom, and this was a beautiful wedding! The setting was a rustic Bed and Breakfast called Rock Quarry Farm that was surrounded by forest in Chapel Hill, NC. Like many spring days, the rain was threatening to fall all day, but mostly held off until the tented reception, allowing the outdoor ceremony to continue under the towering spring green trees.



































I loved all of the details... the amazing dress she picked up in Atlanta was designed by San Patrick, the flowers were created by Becky from Tre Bella, the cake was baked by Nancy at Once In A Blue Moon. Grant's mom played "Annie's Song" by John Denver, and my friend Leah Adams helped take the photos (hers is the last image with the couple kissing in front of the barn.) Also, thanks to Triangle Catering for the amazing food.. yum! I know many others came together to make this wedding spectacular, including her family. It was wonderful Jenn and Grant, thank you so much for having me there!

Benjamin Walter Nail - 4/20/10 - 8lbs10oz - 22in

We have been eagerly awaiting the birth of my sister's first baby and my parent's first grandchild. Yesterday, five days overdue, baby Benjamin decided it was time! I was coming into town to give my uncomfortable sister company, but by the time I arrived, she was already in labor! Katie, Jay, mom and I got to the hospital at around two, other family members arrived shortly, and around 8:30PM my little sweet nephew was born! These are a few of the pictures that were taken right after he came into this world. We love our little Benjamin Walter!

Bekki and Shawn's Engagement Session

Bekki and Shawn are going to have their reception at the beautiful Graylyn Estates in Greensboro, NC. Naturally, they wanted to take advantage of the beautiful location to have their engagement session photos taken on a lovely spring day. Our early morning session found the geese waddling around the pond and the cherry trees backlit by the sun. I can't wait to return for the wedding!
