{Paris Playroom} Playroom Makeover, Chapel Hill, North Carolina

robinlinphoto — Wed, 02 May 2012 14:48:06 +0000

A few months before Christmas “we” (we in the global sense meaning really me but knowing I’d drag my very sweet husband into this project) decided we needed to majorly upgrade the girls’ playroom. After all, they aren’t toddlers anymore and are rapidly approaching the tween years. There was nothing inherently wrong with the playroom, it just felt cluttered, disorganized and well, everything is that contractor beige paint so it needed new life. Knowing their love for all things related to Paris “we” decided to go with a Parisian theme for their more grown up space.

Of course months went by and then we decided we wouldn’t get it done in time (and I really wanted to do this as part of their Christmas gift). A very last minute scramble two days before Christmas found me painting the room and then all the redecorating was done Christmas Eve after they went to bed. I’m happy to say they love their new space and I find it wonderfully serene to walk into everyday.

The before (which was taken with my iphone so I apologize for the horrible quality).

And the after!
My sister was in Paris last year and took these amazing shots of the Eiffel Tower. It makes me smile every time I see them as we have a part of her in their very fun room.
And for those wondering “where are the toys”, they are still here, just on one wall in IKEA shelves.

Here’s where we got everything:

All furnishings: IKEA
Paint: Home Depot
Wall Decor: Roommates Peel & Stick (Eiffel Tower and Chalk/Dry Erase Stickers), Hobby Lobby for chandeliers
Paris Accents: Hobby Lobby

Monica & Anil had a beautiful wedding last fall at Prestonwood Country Club. I was fortunate to document 2 days of events for them, beginning with the engagement party on Friday night and the wedding on Saturday. After a beautiful ceremony the party began. Amazing music and dancing ended a fantastic event! HUGE thanks again to my awesome additional photographers, Frank Myers and Rebecca Ferguson. Enjoy!

{Tonya & Jerel} Washington, D.C. Engagement Session

robinlinphoto — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 14:43:45 +0000

Last weekend I headed up to DC for Tonya & Jerel’s engagement session. Having lived in the DC area for about 5 years I knew the city pretty well and it was very fun to be back (even if just for the day). We met at Union Station and started there, moved over to the Capitol and then headed to Georgetown for a while. We treated ourselves to Sprinkles cupcakes at the end of the day. Really fun day and I can’t wait for their wedding this summer! Enjoy!

{Allison & Tim} A little look at Allison’s bridal at JC Raulston Arboretum, Raleigh, NC

I can’t wait to be able to show you all of Allison’s beautiful bridal images from this Saturday’s bridal session at the JC Raulston Arboretum. She brought a few of her very sweet bridesmaids (“the entourage”) who were so much fun, so helpful and made the afternoon a blast. Until then, just one little look!

{Desiree’ & Armanti} Urban Engagement Session, Winston-Salem, NC

robinlinphoto — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 12:53:25 +0000

I was really looking forward to Desiree’ & Armanti’s engagement session in Winston-Salem a few weeks ago. Desiree’ wanted a really urban feel with lots of character and I loved this idea. We started at the old RJ Reynolds Tobacco Plant and eventually made our way over to Old Salem. Their wedding will be in April 2013 in Charlotte and I’m excited about all the collaboration that is going on with Desiree’, Armanti and the team at A Southern Soiree! Enjoy!
