First day of 2nd grade....

Oh my word someone slap me right now... My firstborn is in 2nd grade and Emma starts k-4?!! Well as shocking as this is to me, I slung the camera over my shoulder and got out the door at the break of dawn. It is nice to see the sun rise for a change. Julia was a ball of emotions... a little nervous, a lot excited. Anyways, Thought I'd share these moments with you all.... look on....


They walk, together as always...




I know it really helped Julia with her nervousness to have Emma there. It gave her this sense of purpose... The walk into the school was filled with detailed explanations of everything.


L-O-V-E this shot... Julia busy explaining things away and Emma's face says it all... (to herself... "I'm a big girl now.")


Have a great day Julia...tomorrow I will be seeing you off to college...

Erin and Danny Best Wedding

Just wanted to share some of our favorite images from Erin and Danny's wedding. They were married at the Historic Wilhite House in Anderson. What a beautiful place! Thank you Erin and Danny for letting us share the day with you.




Awesome place right?




I hear people knocking on the window... I look and the girls set up this wonderful shot!


Guess Amy heard it also...




Danny waits for his bride.




The bouquet toss was meant to come apart so every girl could get a little piece of the action...Great Idea!






And they are off! What a great day and thanks again to the Best's... They are the Be*... well, you know where I'm going with that!

Huff family Session....

Ok... We met up with the Huff Family at Cedar Rock Park in Burlington, NC. I was ecstatic about the location because it was one of my favorite places to go from a child on up into my high school and college days and I haven't been back since. The place hasn't changed a bit and just walking around there watching the Huff children run around and play shot me back twenty some odd years to when I would do the same with my brothers.

Shea and Lance truly have a beautiful family. I was equally excited to see Shea because we graduated high school together and I literally have not seen her since we threw our hats in the air thirteen years ago! I think since then she has been living in a pressurized chamber or something because she hasn't aged a day!

We had a great time. Here are some of our favorites from our time together...




Amy took this as Shea was crossing the creek holding the little one.


No worries... Amy had the boys preoccupied... ha!










Such an adorable child...


the trees knew we were coming...
















Oh and check out the slide show from the day below...



We really enjoyed this shoot and hope you enjoyed the pictures... Take a sec and let us know what you think!

Erin's Bridal....

On a hot summer day....and boy do I mean hot, we met with Erin to shoot her bridal..We met at her grandparent's house and had a fun and creative session.. Erin was very into being creative and we love her for that... A photgrapher's dream come true. We also love the picture she chose for her portrait..It turned out really nice!! We also want to say that Erin was such a trooper as it was 90+ degrees outside, very humid and the weather was also teasing us with the possibility of rain. Thank you Erin......

Enjoy!!!

This is the picture Erin chose for her portrait.. How awesome!
















This is definitely one of my favorites!!


Had to share this funny shot... These golfers wanted to be included in the picture :-)
