Easter Weekend

This weekend was gorgeous here in Durham. We took advantage of the amazing 70 degree weather on Saturday, and took a picnic lunch from Foster's over to the Duke Gardens. The gardens are beginning to bloom and are beautiful! We took my dog Sam who was extremely happy to be out and about in such great weather. Here are a couple shots of the beautiful flowers as well as my very happy dog.

Unfortunately for Sam, the Easter candy was too much of a temptation. After the Gardens, we left him at the house for awhile and he couldn't resist a 14oz bag of Easter colored peanut M&M's. He was extremely bloated and miserable all night. But who can blame him? Peanut M&M's are amazing! I have to say, I was a little disappointed that he didn't leave any for us. I had to take some pictures of how huge he was...he looked like a stuffed sausage! I think it is hilarious how happy he was at the park and how pitiful he looked after the candy. These pictures aren't good but man they make me laugh.

The Old Feed Store

Last week I had the opportunity to shoot a really fun photography project. I was hired to photograph an old store that is getting ready to be torn down. The project is a gift for the store owner from his wife. She wanted mostly black and whites to really portray store's rustic and welcoming charm. It is a shame that is has to go, but I did get to peek into the new store which looks beautiful. Here are a couple of my favorite shots of this adorable family run store!
