{Healing} Extraordinary Healers – CURE Media

Every time I work with CURE Media, I take something away from it.  This year’s project was definitely no different.  When I was contacted in late fall to work with them on their 3rd installment of their Extraordinary Healers book (my 2nd time working on their book), I immediately said I would.  The book is a documentary collection of photos and essays of cancer nurses and their patients.  These extraordinary nurses who are truly, the most amazing people you will ever meet, who give so much of themselves every day to their patients.  Patients who are so very sick…and they give, and give.

This year was particularly challenging because the patients were not well and in some cases has already passed before I had the chance to document them.  So it was especially emotional for me.  I remember leaving one of the nurses and just crying.  I can’t imagine how these nurses can give so much of themselves everyday knowing the odds their patients have.

So THANKYOU to these amazing women….you truly touched my life.  And as always, thank you CURE for doing what you do and allowing me to be a part of it.

{Commercial} Alfredo’s Pizza – New Location – Durham

I was very fortunate to be able to help out and document Alfredo’s Pizza’s new location in the New Hope Plaza in Durham.  Their original location (in University Mall in Chapel Hill) is still going strong and they decided to open a 2nd location recently.  This location is in such a great location, the food is awesome and I love the decor!

{Charity} Click for Quakes – Session 3 – Chapel Hill

I had the BEST time with this family on a snowy Saturday morning in February.  They actually booked a double session (extra thanks to them) so we had lots of time to play in their house.

{Wedding} Candice + Todd – 2/20/10 – Meredith College – Renaissance North Hills, Raleigh Wedding

Candice + Todd has the most amazingly beautiful wedding.  I’m actually posting their slideshow HERE right now before their blog post.  Lots of reasons for that, but I hope everyone will enjoy their slideshow.  The weather was absolutely perfect!  When I had my final meeting with Candice & Todd, I mentioned how snow would be really pretty for their wedding and Candice told me absolutely NOT!  Well, she got her wish.  It was the most gorgeous day.  Sunny, bright blue skies and I remember it was in the mid-50s even – which was pretty remarkable as the weekend before we had receieved (yet another) snowfall this winter.

Candice & Todd are the sweetest, most loving couple.  I feel incredibly blessed and honored to have been a part of their wedding.  Not only was I fortunate to have been able to document their day, but they allowed me into their lives…and it’s something I will never forget.

Thank you again to both of you!

A little piece of me…

I realize I haven’t blogged in a while, actually a VERY long time.  And that’s horrible of me.  I’ve had a whole lot of sessions and a wedding and I need to blog.  But right now, things are just….well hectic.  It’s funny, everyone always thinks the winter is “quiet” for photographers and this year seems crazier than ever for me.  I guess that’s a good thing.

So…I ask for patience and time.  I’m hoping within a week you’ll see some gorgeous new blog posts from me – I absolutely can’t wait to show you Candice & Todd’s wedding and everything else.

Much love,
xoxo
