It all started with a giggle and maybe even a few lollipop. This 4th of July weekend was filled with family. Five families joined together; four sisters, two grandparents, four husbands and some super cute kids. There was no crying, only laughter on this cool summer day. Who could ask for a better day?

Thanks to everyone for such a great afternoon of jumping, smiling and just plain fun.
Do you ever meet people and you just click with them? It’s that instant “ah ha” moment when you realize you have lots in common? I met Devon at a volunteer event and thought she was one cool chick. Later on that afternoon, Devon’s boyfriend Billy at the time stopped by. You could see they just clicked. They had a routine about themselves and you could tell it was their own secret language. I got an email at the beginning of 2010 from Devon saying that Billy had proposed and I could not be more excited for the couple. Not only did I adore them together, they also had an amazing dog named Bailey who stole the show anytime the camera was up. Together, they make a really fun family and an even more fun engagement shoot. I can’t wait until this wedding in August where I promised Devon that this horrible heat wave we are having will be gone. Let’s hope I can pull through.
This couple is incredible and have great style. I mean, just check out those red shoes.
More from Devon and Billy’s session later this week.
Cynthia got a gift certificate for a photo session as a Christmas present. Fast forward to lots of email exchanges, to finally getting a date on the calendar, and an uptown location. Here’s my favorite picture from her session.
Some couple are so at ease around each other. He compliments her when she thinks her hair is out of place by saying she is beautiful. She sneaks a kiss in while walking around the lake and takes his hand into hers. My mother-in-law refers to these sort of couples as love birds. These little love birds are so in love that I don’t think they even noticed I was behind the camera for their session at Freedom Park.
See! I told you they are so cute and totally in love. Congrats on your engagement and good luck with wedding planning.
They speak their own language and don’t really seem to noticed others around all because they are in love. Here’s a sneak from their engagement session.
The spring weather we currently have is perfect for a bridal shoot. Lucky for me, I had a beautiful bride to shoot this past Saturday. Since I promised her that I would keep her face off from the blog in case her future hubs was to look before their wedding, I’ll just show you parts from our shoot. Let’s start with her ring.
More bridal details soon – - now go enjoy the weather.
About a year and a half ago, we put our townhouse on the market. We thought it would get snapped right up, but it didn’t. We got really frustrated and didn’t know what to do. A friend of ours had bought a house from a straight-shooter and thought he would be able to get our place sold. Little did we know that he would not only be our real estate agent who would sell our place, he also our friend. John needed some new head shots and lucky for him, I had a camera.
If you are in the market for a home here in Charlotte, he’s your guy. Hands down the best guy to work with, even behind the camera.
From the pre-shoot survey, I could tell that this was going to be a super fun shoot. And from the moment I walked in the door to the moment I left, two pugs proved me right. Meet Sylvie Grace and Atticus Finch.
From their little paws…
to their funny little faces…
Pugs are always fun to photograph. And don’t get me started on their owners. Look at this super cute little family.
And these pugs love the camera.
This is three year old Sylvie Grace. She’s the first pug that joined the family.
Loves people, really smart and a total princess.
And here’s four year old Atticus Finch. He joined the family from a pug rescue group.
He loves eating, playing with his rope toy and snores like it’s his business.
And the two together equal never a dull moment around this house. They get along like peas and carrots.
They love going on walks together.
They even have a piece of art that matches them. It’s made out of legos by Meagan’s husband Eric. How cool…right?
I had a blast hanging out, getting kisses and laughing at all the snorts.
Have you ever heard a noise that just makes you laugh? This session was filled with snorts and lots of dog kisses.
Here’s a hint to the breed. More to come soon. Oh, and it was double the fun.
