ok, i admit it, i have been a bit obsessed with red, white and blue this summer, but i just can’t help it. good ole’ red, white and blue evokes such a feeling of nostalgia and good times, and they sure do photograph nicely too.
i am in love with katie and eddie’s, sweeter than apple pie, americana maternity session. luca is a doll in his overalls too!
susan and mackey have an amazing home that overlooks the gorgeous blue ridge mountains in linville, nc. they traveled down to the quaint town and said their i do’s at the wee kirk presbyterian church, which is a sweet little white church tucked into the neighborhood just behind the eseeola lodge. their guests joined them on the deck of their home, with a spectacular view, for a delicious dinner and some great music by karla davis.

i just could not resist putting a picture of this sweet old dog on the blog. how cute is he?!
susan + her daughter
mackey + his crew
i am in love with karla davis’ voice!
susan + mackey on the bench where he proposed.
susan’s daughter sang the sweetest song to the bride and groom for their wedding present! it brought tears to her mom’s eyes.
this tiny little bundle of sweetness just melted my heart. this little girl was soooo good during her newborn shoot. i look forward to seeing how much she changes and grows before her six month shoot!
i am totally in love with this new venue, the contemporary art museum in downtown raleigh. there is a mix of funky old urban buildings, the modern architectural design of CAM and there is even some wispy grass and pretty trees to soften the urban feel.
jenna and jac had one of the sweetest first looks ever. i think we were all crying! they decided to do a first look and all of the family photos before the ceremony. at first i admit i was a bit intimidated by jenna’s 6 page timeline (LOL), but in the end we worked together to create a great timeline that made for a no stress, great day with lots of amazing photo opportunities! right after the ceremony everyone walked straight to the bus and right into party time! and i have to give jenna and jac a special shout out for being so sweet to mel and i. we actually had our own little “sweetheart” table set up at the reception with the fancy dinner wares and delicious food. thanks guys!

this sweet “down on the farm” inspired maternity session just makes my heart happy. erin and joel are so in love and so excited for the arrival of their baby.
the quaint celebrity dairy inn was the perfect setting for brooke and mark’s sweet and romantic loveshoot. the farm, the golden light, the vintage quilt…..i love it!
i always have fun when i visit with the green pond boys! this year between fake mustaches, american flags, a dock diving contest and a super-dog named grover we snapped some shots that really capture the fun of summer and the carefree spirit of childhood. this family knows how to do summertime!
i am sorry, but the show “jersey shore” has really given the jersey shore a bad rap. check out this beautiful mother and daughter that i photographed on the lovely beaches of seabright, nj. this is a taste of the real jersey shore!
