Kourtney & Will's Engagement Session May 27, 2007

I photographed Kourtney & Will on Sunday. They are getting married in November. I'm looking forward to their wedding because not only are they gorgeous couple, but they are getting married at a beautiful church (Catawba College chapel) and then having the reception at the amazing Childress Vineyards.
Here are some of my faves from their session:

Grady's Family Session

I photographed Grady's family on Sunday afternoon. Nelson--Grady's son-in-law was the builder of our portrait studio and house. They did an awesome job on it!
They wanted to get some pics of the whole family and then individual family group shots. We took a ton of pics--there were 7 children so we wanted to make sure we got plenty of good ones! I think we definitely achieved that!
Here are some of my faves from their session.

Kari & Jerry's Wedding Saturday May 26, 2007 Magnolia Glen

I had a blast photographing Kari & Jerry's wedding this past weekend. They are an awesome couple and so fun to be around. They got married at the gorgeous Magnolia Glen! It was my first time shooting there and I was amazed at how beautiful that venue is. It is a gorgeous location for an outdoor wedding.

I've been slightly behind with my blogging because I decided I would celebrate Memorial Day! My boyfriend and I went to the beach for the day. It was great to get away from my work for a day!
Anyways, here are a few of my pics from their special day!

Leticia & Mike's Engagement Session

I photographed Leticia & Mike on Friday. They are a really sweet couple and you can tell how much they are in love. We went around to some of my favorite spots and got some cute pics of them. Mike had his 2 babies with him so we even got a few shots of almost the whole family--we were missing 1 though--Leticia's dog.
Here area few of my faves from their session!

Lindsay's Bridal Session

I photographed Lindsay today. She is a gorgeous and photogenic bride! She is getting married in September at Dennis Vineyards in Albemarle. I know her wedding is going to be gorgeous! I can't wait to shoot at a vineyard again!
Lindsay also has a special talent!! I was really impressed with her bridal bouquet! She made it herself and it was gorgeous! She even had the most intricate lacing around the stems that I have ever seen! It was really fancy! I couldn't believe she did it herself!! I guess I should have posted a picture of that, but oh well--you would much rather see her gorgeous pics!
Here are a few of my faves!

The eyes are definitely the window to the soul. I always try to capture a close ups of the eyes. I think they are one of the best features that people have. That and smiles! Lindsay definitely has both going on!

Broken Link

I just realized the link to my mom's site was broken. Actually, I didn't realize it--a bride told me!

Amanda's Bridal Session May 21, 2007

I had the pleasure of photographing Amanda today. She looked absolutely stunning and radiant! Her hair and makeup were awesome. She even had sparkly hairspray!!

I think every time I do session with Amanda it is super hot! In December, I photographed her engagement session and I swear it was like 75 or 80 degrees!! I think we had it slightly beat today by about 10 degrees!

By looking at her, you definitely couldn't tell we were melting outside!! I was sweaty and nasty and Amanda was perfection!! I know she was super hot though, because she had on quite a few layers on with all the crinoline.
I'm looking forward to her wedding in August! I'm sure it will be another hot one, but I think we are pros with the heat by now!!

P.S. I also want to thank all of my awesome brides that let me share their bridal portraits on the blog before the wedding!! You girls rock!



Amanda has some amazing eyes and I really wanted to capture that with this headshot!


I loved the gorgeous backlighting in this shot.

Kimberly & Jason's Engagement Session May 20, 2007

I had one of the best times shooting Kimberly & Jason yesterday! We had a wet & wild time doing their shoot! They really were up for anything! I love couples like this! It just lets me do all kinds of cool and fun shots! When Kimberly had emailed me about setting up her shoot, she said they wanted to get in the water. Once she told me that, I was super excited and started planning! We got a lot of great shots! I was so excited about all of their pics!
During the first part of the "wet" session, Jason & Kimberly said told me they thought they were going to get more wet than they were!! LOL I didn't disappoint them!
Here area few of my faves!






Here is a nice shot for the parents!
