What to wear: Family {Roanoke Rapids Photographer}

What should I wear? What makes you feel beautiful? Don't you love it when people answer a question with a question.
Try mixing it up a little and see what you think. Have gorgeous red hair like my friend Kiley? Wear a loud shade of blue, it'll be perfect with all the greenery behind you. I'll do another one of these soon for my beach bums gang.

Father's Day with the Littleman Foundation

Father's day weekend I had the privilege of spending a little time with the folks behind the Littleman Foundation . Blaine and Joanne lost their 1st child, Joseph, to a rare condition just a few short months after he was born. Their story will have any parent in tears wondering how they can help. I can't say enough good about this group, what they stand for, what they do, and who they are. To learn more, visit their website or head over to the facebook page.

Family {Granville County Photographer}

I'm happy to say I married into a rather large family. Last weekend we celebrated the 65th birthday and retirement party held in honor of my husband's aunt. When they get the whole family together, they do it right. Catering, DJ, partying and laughs well into the night. We heard the story of how he lost Betty Jean for 6 weeks when they were dating, and told her when he won her back he was going to marry her. Here they are, obviously married and still in love. I hope when I'm 65 I can finally drag Scott out onto a dance floor!

Please excuse the lack of technical excellence here in the photos. The party was at an old fire dept in Granville County with no lights on and ceilings higher than I can guestimate. Perfect exposure or not, I think it's the story of the people in these photos that really counts.
