I'll admit it. I'm not too proud.

We've found ourselves in a real big, fat pickle here with the kitten situation.
The mama cat and our old cat just are hatin' eachother these days. And the kittens are ready-- box trained, eating solids, fun and curious, love people... they need good homes!

PLEASE adopt a kitten if it tugs on your heart. These kittens have been well cared-for, and I can tell you about each of them... if you even THINK you know of someone that MIGHT want a kitten...please tell them where to look and let them know I will arrange a meeting. :) ADOPT NOW!
Kitten 1... (female, SO friendly and smart, love her!)




Kitten 2 (male, think he's taken, Praise God!)




Kitten 3 (female, shy!)


Kitten 4 (male, playful!)



Thank you for looking and considering. I'm pleased to say I'll give a few free portraits when you come to adopt. :) Just do so whole-heartedly with the intent to love and neuter or spay your pet (!!).

gorgeous 6 June wedding!

A cute little place called Weymouth in Southern Pines, NC was the scene for Tara and Clevon's wedding event. I didn't get to know them very well, but they are a gorgeous couple, everything was beautiful, and I wish all the very best!

Save-The-Dates

Engagement sessions help meet many needs... from getting comfortable to your photographer to visiting your favorite romantic spots to guest books to save the dates and slideshows to display at your wedding. How far can 90 minutes of your time go....

Here are two examples of save-the-date designs, but the possibilities are really limited only to your imagination. If you can think it up, your photographer can do it (at least... this photographer can!).

Below is the front of a 5x7card, followed by the top and bottom inside imagery.





this was the front of a post-card version Save the date.
Kim and Joe used their images for a guest book...these are always a big hit with your guests and inspire much writing and, in my opinion, a more heart-felt remembrance than traditional sign in sheets with signatures only. Plus you get more images of you! Click here to view the booK!

All's Fair...

Kara entered my engagement session drawing at a recent bridal show... and I couldn't be more happy with my daughter pulling her and Kevin's name. What a great couple, so much fun to work with, very relaxed and ready to try whatever.



So we met at the NC fair a couple weeks back. It was perfect weather, just near sunset!

here they are...the winning cuties!



Kara showed me just how fun the petting zoo could be...


The soon-to-be-wed even had me feed the camel, despite many protestations. Yes, I screamed, that was me. Hah!











Thank you for sharing a bit of fair time fun with me! Wishing you all the best, for many more years to come.

Victoria and Jonathan

The slideshow isn't the same... I want to show off my faves. Too bad I have so many!

Victoria and Jonathan had a Great Gatsby of a wedding at the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte. Little touches here and there are old holywood glamour... their wedding made me want to watch the movie all over again...how long has it been? I am aging rapidly.. Oh, I digress (see, sign of aging), not only was everything Just.So.Beautiful-- they were a very sweet couple too!















love her look...must have been Some Kiss!















a bit o' digital magic, about 5 images spliced together.


Such great fun! Hope Aruba was the icing on the cake of your new life together. (Hallmark may not hire me any time soon).

Thank you, blessings to all!
