Amanda & Jerimy's Engagement Session Part 1

I photographed Amanda & Jerimy yesterday. We only got to do a little bit of the session because it started raining on us! We are going to continue the shoot tomorrow. I hope we won't get rained out!! I was having a lot of fun--they weather felt good...the rain wasn't that bad. We were seriously taking pics while it was raining! You can't tell in the pics though!
Here a few for now!!

Lauren & Josh's Wedding July 14, 2007

Saturday, I had a lovely day shooting Lauren & Josh's wedding. They looked absolutely amazing and the weather was awesome! It didn't feel like July!! Lauren & Josh's family were great! I enjoyed seeing how everyone was excited about them getting married!

Here are a few of my faves from the day!
This is my last wedding until Aug. 11th! I will be catching up on a lot of stuff between now & then! I'm excited for a little break!


I love this shot of the guys! I love the lines and angles.







Grandma was getting down!! I love Lauren in the background cracking up!

Emma Jane's Portrait Session

I photographed the lovely Emma Jane yesterday. Her mom was wanting to get a portrait of her with her long hair before she cuts it off. She is planning to donate her hair to Locks of Love! She definitely has a lot of hair to donate! I think it is super awesome that she is doing that!
Here are a few of my faves!

Corbin's 4 month session

I photographed Corbin's 4 month session yesterday. He is part of my baby plan so you will be seeing more of him. His mom, Michelle, is obsessed with pics and is an awesome client! She actually referred Kelly & Wayne, the couple below.
I love working with them because they are so laid back and easy-going!
Here are a few of my faves from the session!

Kelly & Wayne's Portrait Session

I photographed Kelly & Wayne yesterday. They are already married, but wanted to get some pics of them together. They are having a belated anniversary celebration. They were going to celebrate by going out to a upscale, fine dining & romantic restaurant in Charlotte- The McNinch House. They decided since they don't do this often and they were getting dressed up, they should have their pics taken! I thought it was a super sweet idea.

Once you have children, you really never get anymore pics alone! What a great way to keep the romance alive and document another stage in your life! It's nice having your kids in the pic, but sometimes it is nice to just have some pics taken alone. Plus, you definitely can't do all those romantic shots that I love to take w/ the kids in the pics! LOL
Anyways, on to the faves of the shoot!

Tracie & Scott's 7-7-07 Wedding

My mom & I had a great time photographing Scott & Tracie's wedding this past Saturday. The biggest wedding day of the year. They got married at Queen's Landing on the Catawba Queen. It was an awesome day to be out on the boat! The breeze felt great. It almost felt like we weren't working!!





The new captain of the ship! This little guy was super cute!


Tracie's Dad was was really getting choked up during the father/daughter dance.

Scott was definitely going for the garter!

Eva & Tony's Celeb wedding!

How cool would it have been to shoot their wedding! Bob & Dawn Davis were the lucky photographers that shot their wedding.
I met them in Chicago last August when we went to dinner at P.F. Changs.
Here is a picture of Grace & me that Bob took.

And this is Grace and Dawn & Bob Davis of La Storia Foto in Chicago.

Didi & Donnie's Engagement Session

I got to meet and Didi & Donnie for the first time on Friday during their engagement session. Didi was so excited and up for anything! And when I say anything, I mean getting in a shopping cart that was on the side of the road! LOL
Needless to say, I had a great time working with them!! Except for when Didi was telling me the graffiti wall was no longer there. At the time, I didn't quite understand she meant it was totally gone until I saw for myself! I guess I was having a blonde moment! The graffiti wall has been demolished so that means no more pics there. It is just a pile of rubble and dirt!!!

P.S. I have a new idea in mind and my couple next weekend are willing to try it!! Hopefully everything will work out!!

Anyways--on to the pics!
Here are a few of my faves!


Her eyeshadow matched the building!! How cool and often is that???? Actually, now that I think about it, it matches my logo/website!! Pink & Green!


A silly one!!

Leticia & Mike's Wedding July 1, 2007

I photographed Leticia & Mike at Saratoga Springs last Sunday. It was a beautiful day! We got so many nice shots of everyone outdoors. It wasn't as hot as it has been, so that was super nice! I was really surprised since it was an outside wedding in July!
Here are a few of my faves from the day...


I just noticed every pic that I chose of them together is of them kissing!! They were seriously like this all day though!! I had to tell them numerous times to get a room! ;-) LOL

This is probably my fave pic of the day b/c it was so funny! Mike wanted a pic of him jumping after we did one during the engagement session!
