My apologies…

I apologize I haven’t blogged in a while.  I am editing like a little mad-woman in the hope that I can get the bulk of everything done before the Thanksgiving holiday next week.  I do have 2 fantastic family sessions to blog and _oh_my_god_ the best red shoes I’ve bought _ever_.  Seriously!

So please be patient and stay tuned……

{Kristen + Stewart} Part 2 – Wedding – Highgrove

On Friday evening, a gorgeous, surprisingly warm fall evening – I was very lucky to be a part of the truly, magical event that was Kristen + Stewart’s wedding.  It was full of so much love & happiness and I can’t thank them enough for allowing me to be a part of such a beautiful evening.  Kristen was so beautiful and so happy and Stewart just radiated this incredible energy.  It was impossible not to be inspired by the two of them.  Part 2 of the their wedding covers all of their beautiful (and I mean really beautiful) details so definitely check that out as well.

Of course, we begin as always with her stunning dress and shoes.



Best_reaction_ever!



So the moon came out, you can see it just above the top of the tree, I was determined to get it in a shot…

 







So normally I would very much show the sparkler exit as the last shot, but well….I think this one just works better.  You’ll be seeing this one a LOT more in the future….

Kristen & Stewart…quite simply…thank you!

{Kristen + Stewart} Wedding Part 1 – Details – Highgrove

Ok so you know when you have one of those days where everything just comes together perfectly?  I’ve been having that a lot lately with my weddings (it’s really nice).  This is the first part of Kristen + Stewart’s amazing wedding on Friday night which is all the incredible details.  The truly incredible vendors who made this evening so spectacular were the wonderful ladies at The Highgrove, Flowers On Broad Street (Donna truly is a genius), and Sweet Memories Bakery.










By the way, for this shot – I don’t stand on a chair – I lift my camera up high, make sure the lens is out wide, focus point is on center and hope – some times it takes multiple shots, sometimes it works out perfectly.  And you gotta really hold on tight to the camera.

{Healing} Part 2

On Friday morning I was very fortunate to photograph my second session for the Cure Group’s healing book.  These are the most amazing women, such an incredible nurse, kindest “patient”, just so sweet and I’m so glad she’s doing so well.  I can only hope she continues on her path to good health.  And I hope that Oliver continues to travel alongside with you and offer all the support you need when you need it.

{Allie + Joe} Wedding – Bay 7

On Saturday, the weather was perfect, the sky was that gorgeous blue, it was actually pretty warm and it could not have been any better of a day to have a wedding.  For Allie + Joe, I couldn’t be happier to be a part of it for them.  We started out the day at the very cute Garden Salon in downtown Durham and then moved over toe Bay 7 for final preparations which would also serve as the location for the ceremony and reception.  I really just stood inside Bay 7 (located in the beautiful American Tobacco Campus) and just absorbed it all.  It’s the perfect mix of urban and trendy, brick, metal, and wood.  It is absolutely breathtaking.  The fall colors they chose just topped everything off.  Catering Works did an absolutely superb job with the food, just remarkable.  And the guys and the girls had some rocking shoes!






















And now the gorgeous, absolutely amazing details.  And for the table markers – I have to mention this – Allie’s fabulous maid-of-honor & her boyfriend made these by hand (and apparently he had the blisters to show for it).  They were so cute & different.  Allie & her friends did all the table centerpieces as well – they did a really great job!!


Allie + Joe – thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me to be a part of truly such a beautiful day.  I can only hope your lives are full of happiness and love!

And to my amazing second photographer and wonderful friend, Stacy…you know you are incredible and I thank you!

{Healing}

I’m very lucky to do what I do.  I’m also very fortunate to work with the Cure Group and be a part of their Healing Book which is going to be published early next year.  This is the first set of photographs that I took in the area for the book – oncology nurses and their patients.  Seriously, I’m very lucky.  These are the most incredible women who are so full of life, laughter and love and hope.
