Piano Recital {Baskerville VA photographer}

My friend teaches piano and weekend before last we had the privilege of attending her recital in Norlina. All of the kids (and adults) did such a wonderful job. I've always been amazed by anyone who can play musical instruments. I'm more amazed at how she juggles it all with 3 kids. This one's personal to me as she happens to also be my daughter's best friend. They've been two peas in a pod since before they were old enough to spell the word play. I didn't get to choose the lighting and only had a minute to grab a quick shot, but I couldn't resist posting it here. Congratulations A and A, you put on a wonderful show. We love you dearly and can't say how thankful we are to have you in our lives!

The J's family photos {Henderson, NC}

Many years ago when Kassi was a baby we lived right beside this family in Henderson. I don't know how they stood it as I know they heard the baby crying all day and all night. I'm gonna have to do something special for them! It's been about 8 years and they haven't changed a bit, still just as cute as ever. We met at one of my favorite spots in Wake Forest for pictures and laughed about 75% of the time. Awesome to still see sparks in a couple that's been married 10 years. If the kids hadn't been there they might have convinced me they'd just started dating. So sweet!

Prom Pictures { JF Webb Oxford, NC }

Weekend before last was very busy. Photos in South Hill, Henderson, and Wake Forest all in a 24 hour time frame; loved every second of it! I had the privilege of photographing Amber and Tyler before they headed off to Oxford for JF Webb's prom. We met in Henderson with both families and had a blast. Amber and Tyler you are such a cute couple, thanks for picking me to take your pictures! You've already seen 2 on the facebook page but I couldn't resist posting a few more.

The Details {Rocky Mount NC wedding photographer}

There's still photos from November of last year I never uploaded. Wish I could hire a full time blogger because obviously that's not my strong point. Anywho, I love finding the little details to shoot at weddings. Especially when there's an ECU pirate on the cake!



Are those shoes hot or what? You should see the bride. She's even more gorgeous than all the little details were.

Stacey + Jason {Lake Gaston Photographer}

I swear you could feel the sparks half a mile away with these two. What can I add to that? Wait, I can add to it....a super cute little boy with balloons. I am one blessed photographer!

Meghan + Bobby {Creedmoor Engagement Photographer}

I seriously adore Meghan. She's beautiful, witty, and makes you feel like you've know her for years from the first hello. Her fiance' I actually have known for many years; we both grew up in this small town. Bobby spends his days putting out fires and Meghan will graduate from nursing school soon. It was a privilege to have them in front of the lens.





Bobby said this ain't no arts and crafts fair. But his love for Megan trumped that manly instinct and he picked up the chalk anyway. You'll see the finished product on their save the date cards.


Wonder what these two are up to? Hmmmm....

Bobby, thanks for letting me pick on you. Meghan didn't need any coaching, she's a natural in front of the camera. So pretty!

Big huge thank you to the guys at the fire department for bringing out the truck. Extra thumbs up for holding the reflector. You've got a rock star photographer in the making there boys! My dear friend Kiley, thanks for saving my rear and finding sidewalk chalk at the last minute. Wish you could have stayed longer.

Can't wait to see these two walk down the aisle. Bobby's finally getting married!
