sweetness

lots of sugar -

posting just so I could have something new on my blog. :)

dakota: SR photos unlocked

Another senior session is unlocked - 

Dakota's portraits taken at the beautiful UNCP campus.

 

Obviously, I changed my mind and booked a few

photo shoots after I wrote this post regarding 2012 photo plans.

Maybe one day I can learn to juggle more;

but, I really do need to juggle less! :)

caitlin: SR photos unlocked

One weekend in March, Caitlin arranged a trip to SC.

I unlocked her album today - one of the last few client sessions from this spring.

After I finish a few more things, I plan to take the summer off 

and regroup for any fall photo requests -

 unless I receive a better offer. :)

baby excitement

Chloe came to my house for 8 month photos this week.

Cute, cute shots - the one below is definitely a favorite!

It looks like she is saying "yay!" :)

That is all her doing too -

 it's a "follow/chase Chloe" setting for most of the photos.

Full post coming later.

 (if I get around to it)

thinking 'bout them

sarah - bridal portraits

A week before Sarah's wedding, we met to take some bridal portraits.
In between rain showers,
we managed to use plastic tablecloths and a shelter to protect her dress.

 I loved the scenic view near this dock!

She displayed a 16x20 from the pose below at her reception.

 

And the other photo displayed at her wedding is one of my favorites!
Sarah's mom chose a luxe frame - I was so excited to see this! I love it!

 

At one point, 

I thought I would do something unique and create a photo book from each session.

That is not feasible because of the time involved.

However, with this short session, it did not take long to create one.

Congrats Sarah - may happiness fill your marriage always!

all things new

i'm not perfect -far from it

so I'm thankful -

for a merciful Savior

for redemption of failures

for forgiveness and many second chances

for Jesus making all things new, that He first loved me

for answered prayers, help in times of need

for the spring season and Easter Sunday

for family, food, and fun

for life and love

for grace.

Amen.

h&r wedding: faves

Photography is not my real job -
but I love some photo taking.
And yes, I know that I am far from the best.
But, blogging and a website is about advertisement in a sense.
The following photos should tell the story of Holly and Reuben's wedding.
A picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say.
So, here are some of my favorites from start to finish...

After the end of a wedding and all the editing, hours of time involved -

I have to say "thank you Jesus for helping me."

Congrats Holly and Reuben!

May you cherish the moments captured for many years to come!
