Kathleen and Jason Engagement Session

Meet Kathleen and Jason! They are getting married this summer and I can't wait to see what this classy girl has planned for her wedding! She is a hairdresser at the ever so swanky Sam & Bill's Hair Design in Raleigh and a definitely a kindred spirit! It was so neat to see the two of them interact and see the love that was so precious between them.

Downtown Raleigh

Here are a few of my random dowtown Raleigh shots that I love! Yes, that's an acorn, for those who don't live here. Raleigh is called the city of oaks. And so I guess a huge acorn is the best way to demonstrate that! On New Years Eve they drop the acorn....so on T.V. They have the huge spectacular NYC Ball being dropped and right beside it they show the acorn dropping! It's a little depressing. Oh well. Raleigh is growing like crazy and it's hopefully going to get really built up and have some really cool things to offer....besides a Huge acorn!

Creative Award Friday!

this is fun! I love fridays and I love creativeness! I have an idea and an artist to tell you about today!

I was watching martha stewart this morning and she had a girl on there that showed how to make the easiest yet trendy must have for spring beaded necklaces, the photo doesn't give it justice, cause they are cute! Click Here to see the instructions!


Natasha Wescoat is an artist that I stumbled over and I have fallen in love with her art and her style and her use of color! as a photographer who LOVES black and white images, I love it when color hits me and I fall in love with how it's used to convey something that could never be done in black and white!

Click Here for her website, although I love her Blog....kinda gives you a more personal look into her life and work!

The Owens

These are the Amazing Owens Family Kids ~ Blayne, Joshua, Grace, and Mary! They might as well be my own brothers and sisters....at the very least cousins! :o) I've taken their Christmas picture for years now and it's been so special to see them grow up over time! Blayne is a Senior this year! I can't believe it. I love Senior sessions but this is one of the few I've had the chance to shoot here. Let anyone know that has seniors, that I would love to capture this very special chapter of their high school achivement! Congrats Blayne!!

Quotes from a Great!

Photography, as a powerful medium
of expression and communications,
offers an infinite variety of perception,
interpretation and execution.
-Ansel Adams

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.

-Ansel Adams
