I am so excited I am FINALLY able to blog again!!  What a great feeling!  I have LOTS of great images coming soon so be sure to check out the blog daily! 🙂  I had the pleasure of working with Phil and Catherine on their wedding day a few weeks ago at the Celebrations at the Swift Creek Reservoir.  They had a small and intimate ceremony with close friends and family by the water on a beautiful September day.  It was such a pleasure working with them again!  I did their engagement session this past spring and was so honored to be a part of their marriage celebration.  Below are some of my favorite images from their day!  2014-10-12_0001PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0002PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0003PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0004PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0005PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0006PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0007PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0008PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0009PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0010PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0011PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0012PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0013PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0014PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0015PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0016PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0017PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0018PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0019PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0020PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0021PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0022PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0023PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0024PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0025PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0026PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0027PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0028PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0029PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0030PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0031PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0032PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0033PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0034PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0035PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0036PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0037PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0038PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0039PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0040PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0041PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0042PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0043PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0044PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0045PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0046PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0047PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0048PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0049PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0050PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0051PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0052PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0053PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0054PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0055PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0056PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0057PIN IMAGE 2014-10-12_0058PIN IMAGE

  

I had the pleasure of working with Brandon, Amber and Nolan a couple of weeks ago in Nags Head while they were vacationing with family!  I know Amber from way back in the day when we cheered together so it was nice being able to catch up and reconnect.  Her little boy is the sweetest thing ever and I had so much fun working with them!  It was also a nice excuse to visit my mom and we were able to enjoy the beach for a little bit.  🙂 We began our session in the little town of Manteo, right outside of the heart of Nags Head and it was such a pretty town.  We’ve only been there once(when Carter broke his foot a few years back and we needed to find other things to do besides the beach!) and like Amber, I fell in love with the quaint little town.  I was so happy when she asked if we could shoot there because I wanted to revisit the area.  The session *almost* didn’t happen due to a high heat index, but thankfully as the day went on, the weather cooled down and it was beautiful!  We headed out to Jennette’s Pier after (a relatively new pier in Nags Head) for some fun beach shots.  Nolan LOVES the sand and his big thing is birds right now, so it was fun to see him get excited at the sight of a bird. 🙂 Brandon and Amber decided to get some shots of just the two of them and I am so glad that they did!  I think its really important to remember that just as much as you are a family, you are also a couple and having photos of just the two of you is important!  I love the ones we got!  Below are my favorites from our session….Brandon, Amber, and Nolan- it was a pleasure working with you all, you are such a sweet family and I hope you enjoy your photos! 🙂 PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE

  

I know its taken me forever to get this blog post up, but its finally here!  If you didnt know already, I love planning for the kids’ birthdays!  I have so much fun coordinating everything and watching it finally come together on their big day.  They have been sharing their birthday party together for the last three or four years now and I love that they do that.  This year, Kaleigh’s theme was art and Carter’s was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Below are the images from their party.  I actually made all of the designs for Kaleigh’s birthday this year and Carter’s designs were from free sources I found on the internet. 🙂  I did make the subway art print and I have to say, I am pretty proud of myself!  As always, the cakes and cupcakes were made by the fabulous Alicia from A Peach in a Pear Tree.  She is currently working on getting her new bakery opened and I am SO excited!  If you havent tried her desserts, you need to, they are delicious!  And lastly, Kaleigh’s awesome shirt was custom made by the talented Rebekah Crisco from Esty!  You can see Kaleigh modeling the shirt here.
