it’s all gone….well, mostly

I was in Chapel Hill Saturday shooting an engagement session. It was almost 90 degrees in March. My hair was seriously hot and sweaty and the only option was the dreaded ponytail! UGH! After growing my hair for the last three years, I decided that I was due for a major change! So, it’s all gone!…well, mostly anyway. I lost some major inches, especially with the top layers.

I had dinner with my friend and fellow photographer, Corey Cagle. She took these shots with the point and shoot. We are going to do a formal session soon for my new website.

heather’s bridal portrait with katie!

Last Friday, I drove down to Chateau Elan Winery and Resort to shoot Heather’s bridal portrait. She and Daks are very into wine and plan a honeymoon in Napa. Chateau Elan was the perfect location for a gorgeous bridal portrait! The winery is right off I-85 near Athens, GA, about an hour north of Atlanta where Heather and Daks live. We did most of the shots in the big Inn and Convention Center. They allowed us to go down into the Barrel Room for some awesome photos! I hate to be a tease, but come back at the end of April to see these beautiful images of Heather. Heather is so graceful and elegant. We had a great time with both her mom and Daks mom along. Daks’ mom made the classic floral arrangement with the white roses and of course, heather.

My friend Katie from 6 of Four Creations came up from Atlanta to help me with the bridal portraits. She was a huge help and moral support. I really appreciate her taking time in a very busy week to come hang out with me. We had a nice lunch at the Winery Cafe.

big thank you to susan!

I have been shooting a lot of bridal portraits lately. Unfortunately, I can’t show you any of those yet as the weddings are in April! I had Suzie’s bridal portrait scheduled on what turned out to be an incredibly windy March day. We were panicing about a back up plan and I just happened to think to call The Yellow House in Waynesville. I have Heather and Daks’ wedding there at the end of April and had never met the new owner. Susan was so gracious and allowed Suzie and I to have full use of the bed and breakfast. Wait until you see these gorgeous shots! Thank you so much to Susan for the generosity!
This is a shot that doesn’t show details of the dress. It was inspired by Joe Buissink and his infrared portraits. Unfortunately, it doesn’t showcase The Yellow House, but those will come soon! Stay tuned.

meredith and reece

I love my children clients. It is so fun watching them grow up in between portrait sessions. Meredith and Reece are such beautiful little girls. Meredith was 2 years old in December and Reece is 9 months old. They are so sweet together. I love the interaction between them. Reece was so cute sitting in the daffodils and Meredith kissed and loved on the big pink bunny. They both got their mom’s gorgeous eyes, so it is hard for me to make any of them black and white.

jordin’s first birthday

I had the pleasure of photographing Jordin’s first birthday party. Jordin is the grandson of Teresa and Ron, whose wedding I photographed last October. They eloped at Lake Junaluska and I got to sign the marriage license. I just love them – they are such a fun couple. I always say I need a PG-13 website so I can put Ron’s testimonial comments up! Just writing that makes me crack up. Ron is a hoot!

Jordin is such a cutie pie. He looks so much like his grandfather, Teresa’s dad. I love the photos of them together. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with the cake at first, but he finally just dove right in.

It is always a special honor for me to be able to continue my relationship with the wedding couples. Now I have people scheduling birthday parties around my wedding schedule. I am getting ready to launch new websites and the new children’s website will have some of my birthday party images. I have put together new packages for the children’s portraits. I love getting to know the kids well enough that they think it is fun to have their photos done.
