Apologies and gratitude

I just wanted to thank all of our wonderful clients and friends who have kept us in your thoughts and prayers the last two weeks. We are truly blessed to have you in our lives! Some of you have waited days for me to return calls and messages, some have patiently waited weeks for your proofs, some have even enjoyed the proofs of other clients until I could re-burn CD's and ship the correct ones to you. You have graciously allowed me to reschedule appointments that were set up months in advance, and have been so kind to send messages letting us know you were thinking of us...it has meant so much!

Your kindness, love and patience has not gone unnoticed!!!

Carrie+Randy Wedding

I could not wait to shoot Carrie and Randy's wedding!!! It was our last wedding for this year, and I looked forward to it all summer! It was perfect in every way...Carrie is so creative and I love how she carried the theme of their wedding in all of the small details!

My faves thus far:

Carrie's shoes even matched Randy's tie....tell me she didn't think of everything!!!

She was just radiant!

I hope you guys had a fantastic time in Costa Maya! We can't wait to shoot your after-wedding session!

The Delvecchio Family

Yup, I'm pretty sure I butchered your name there...sorry! I've worked with Terri for the last 4 or 5 years (I've lost track...) and she in one of the most genuinely nice people I've ever met. You know, I honestly don't think I've ever heard her say a bad thing about anyone, and she's never once got angry when I, with out fail, make a mistake in my totals for the week. She's a saint... I luv her! I was tickled to take their family Christmas portrait this year. Alex is a little model!

Their beautiful family:

My fave from the day:

Thank you guys!

We also have one remaining portrait appointment available on Nov. 19th. This is the last available opportunity for fall portraits and Christmas ordering! The first one to contact me grabs it! :^)

Kristen+Rob Engagement

I actually feel asleep on the couch with my hands on the laptop!! I woke up after midnight and got Lyndon up out of his chair and headed to bed. I have a few minutes before my dentist appointment, so I thought I would get Kristen and Rob's post started.

I love love love finding new places to shoot, so I was thrilled to come to Raleigh to shoot their enagement session! We had a quick session near Raleigh for a couple who wanted a few shots for a surprise engagement (what a cool idea! Too bad it's a surprise and I can't post their pics for a while. lol), so we found a hotel in downtown late Saturday afternoon to scope out a few neat areas for Kristen and Rob. These guys have a neat story that's kinda like ours. They've dated for 7 years (since high school) and moved to NC when they dound teaching jobs in the same school district. They're getting married next year in upstate NY, and I'm seriously debating tagging along on their homeymoon...you know, just to document the first week of their lives toegther..not just because I really want to go to Italy! lol

Lyndon and I are so geographically challanged, so we walked....and walked...and walked looking for the downtown district before we realized I was reading the map wrong. We still found some great spots, and these guys were so patient as we tried to remember where we had been the night before.

Beside our hotel was a super cool run-down buiding, and I love a couple willing to tresspass to get good shots!

I love it!!! They were so super easy to work with, and required no direction...we were able to get lots of shots of them just being who they are!

My favorite so far:

I want to steal her smile! Aren't they just naturals in front of the camera?

it was so cold outside, but they were super patient with us, just walking around downtown looking for bright colors and cool textures:

I more I want to share, but I'm pretty sure Dr. Hill would like for me to go brush my teeth before my filling appointment today! I'll post more when I get home!

Okay, I'm back from a super dentist appointment, so here are two more before I return to proofing:

Did I mention how gorgeous her hair is? I have total hair envy!
