Stephanie and Christopher: the wedding

Stephanie and Christopher had a beautiful wedding last weekend at All Saints Chapel in downtown Raleigh. The entire day was so warm and classic. Stephanie's modern and elegant style mixed with fall colors and textures made for a beautiful night! Since fall is my favorite time of year, I loved all of the colors and warm lighting. John and I had a great time photographing this wonderful couple. Here are a few from this lovely evening...Stephanie wore this amazing bird's nest with feathers and flowers pinned to the side. It was so classy and stunning! the lovely bride...did I mention how much I love fall lighting?the handsome groom...a beautiful ceremony in the recently restored All Saints Chapel...so sweet!because it Stephanie and Christopher had an evening wedding, it was dark outside after the ceremony which made for some really fun and funky downtown Raleigh night shots. I love the way they came out...the reception...Thanks again, Stephanie and Christopher! It was such a wonderful evening!

the Glushik family

This weekend I had the opportunity to photograph the adorable Glushik family. Robyn and John are the proud parents of their precious 7 week-old son, Evan. I had so much fun with them. Evan was wonderful the whole time and put up with me disturbing his afternoon. I love his chubby little cheeks! How can you resist such a cute little face? Here are a couple of my favorites from my afternoon with this sweet family...love the lighting in this sweet moment...don't you just want to kiss those cheeks!one of John and Robyn's friends made this adorable hat, I couldn't get enough of it...Evan was so cute with his mom when she sat like this. He kept jumping up and down and smiling at her, so sweet!a sweet smile for dad...some beautiful fall light... of course, one of the whole family...again, with those cute cheeks...big yawn...and snuggle-time...I love Evan's face in this one...Evan was so good and awake for most of the session, but I think I wore the poor little guy out...

I've Been Blogged!

A couple weeks ago, John and I traveled up to our old hometown and alma-mater, in Charlottesville, VA for my baby shower. My wonderful friends and family were so sweet about showering us with lots of great food, love, support and of course some adorable gifts for the baby. It was a great weekend! Thanks to all of you who made it happen.
While we were in Cville, my dear friend Kristen, an amazing photographer in Northern VA, took John and I for a little photoshoot at the Downtown Mall, one of the places we used to love to hang out. It was a strange experience to be on the other side of the camera, but Kristen is amazing and we had a blast with her. She just posted a few photos on her blog and I am so pleased with them I couldn't wait to share! You can check out the rest on her blog. Thanks again Kris, I love them!!
