{WPS Convention 2010} Lens Lessons – Session for Deux

The past weekend, I was incredibly honored to be a speaker at the WPS Convention (Wedding Photographic Society).  Part of being a speaker was also instructing a group of photographers in a “Lens Lesson”.  My topic, A Session for Deux, or engagement session.  I was honored to work with the gorgeous Kasey and her wonderful boyfriend.  They have incredible chemistry and are obviously very happy to be together – so it made my job really easy.  I hope that everyone who attended both sessions found working with me and my couple a great learning experience!  And Kasey, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.  You were so amazing to work with!

{Helping Out & Giving Back} Clicks for Quakes – Haiti Relief – Chapel Hill Portraits

As everyone knows, the devastation in Haiti was beyond unbelievable.  As a community, a group of photographers have decided to team up and offer brief sessions with 100% of the proceeds going to the relief effort.  In exchange you will receive ONE hi-resolution image.  What you would like to do with the image is limitless.  Use the image for Facebook, Twitter, send it to a loved-one for an upcoming holiday, new prints, etc.  The point is all about giving back in the best way we can.

Additionally, I’m personally offering all of my prints (which MUST be ordered by March 1) for 50% off.  This is an incredible savings!  All of my prints come matted on fine-art, archival mats.

Sessions will be in 15 minute increments, either in-studio or on-location in Chapel Hill only.  Please contact robin@robinlin.com or call 919.338.2504 and let the giving begin!

{Tarrah + Ryan} Kiss Me – Eno River Park, Fearrington Wedding

On Sunday after a long day of shooting a series of other sessions I met Tarrah + Ryan at the Eno River Park for their Kiss Me session.  They will be having a beautiful wedding at the always lovely Fearrington next June and I’m so fortunate to be a part of their day.  I especially need to thank them for their patience with me on Sunday.  Somehow, on my drive between two parts of Durham my main, beloved camera died.  I realized it quickly at the start of their session and fortunately had 2 back-ups with me.  Well, I managed to break the second one as well so I was on to the 3rd one.  Fortunately that’s what backup gear is all about and I have lots of it!  The leaves were gorgeous at the park and I think we probably couldn’t have waited another week as things are already starting to fall off.

Thank you both so much – can’t wait for your wedding!

{Meredith} Bridal – Duke Gardens/Haywood Hall

On Friday, I got back together with Meredith (and Christopher) and photographed her bridal session.  This was actually a ton of fun as we did this (obviously) a week after her wedding.  The original plan was to have her bridal completed before her wedding but her dress wasn’t ready in time (but really, it took a lot of stress out of keeping the dress clean).

We went to the always beautiful Duke Gardens.  Fortunately while the weather is getting very warm there are a lot of great options at Duke without having to walk all over the gardens for amazing photos.    Thanks so much again guys for being so great about everything!

{Just Because}

I was on UNC’s campus late last week for a maternity session (that will be blogged soon) and I saw this across the way.  I thought it was just a really nice moment so I grabbed it and wanted to share it.  I think it’s just sweet and nice.  I have no idea who these people are but I know they spent a lot of time around the Old Well taking informal graduation pictures.

{Charity Event}

I’m so incredibly pleased to announce the formation of Give Back for Hope.  A charity event I put together really under the premise of giving back and trying to do more.  I was incredibly inspired by the documentary cancer work I did last year and really felt the need to do more….so I am.  The site is www.givebackforhope.org and I would love as much support as possible.  Obviously this is very much a “village” effort.  Thank you very much!

{Liz & Tomas} Kiss Me – Fearrington Wedding

I just can’t wait for Liz & Tomas’ wedding.  It’s in 2 weeks at the gorgeous Fearrington Inn.  They are such an amazing couple that just exudes love and romance, it’s just so much fun to be around them.  We’ve been trying to get together for weeks to do their Kiss Me session but our schedules between the 3 of us were just not meshing.  So finally, we were able to get together at Duke Gardens and had a great time.  Afterwards we went to dinner at Tyler’s for one last meeting (which I do with all my couple’s)…it was just a fun, nice afternoon.  Can’t wait to see you guys in 2 weeks!!

{Grace + Alex} Kiss Me

Grace + Alex are going to have a super fabulous wedding on October 10 at the Barn at Valhalla and I couldn’t be more delighted that I’m going to be a part of it.  Seriously, I am truly honored.  When Grace called me earlier this week to move up their Kiss Me session by a week I was really looking forward to it.  We did an urban session for them in Durham, and it was incredible.  I just enjoy every moment I’m around them.  Thanks so much guys, hope you had a great evening!

A little texture and grunge but not too much….

{Betsy + Tony} Kiss Me

Yesterday I had a lot of fun chatting with Betsy and Tony about their upcoming September wedding in Minnesota, which sounds absolutely fantastic.  Then we went out and documented their “Kiss Me” session (my first engagement session of 2009).  The weather couldn’t have been better if we asked for it and their nerves quickly dissappeared and we  had an absolutely fantastic time together.  Thanks so much again guys!
