A couple of weeks ago I met Jackie & Kirk for the first time and it was an immediate click. I had met with Jackie’s mother & father, who I was crazy about, so I knew I would have fun with Jackie! We started off their engagement session with a photo freak fest - which really got rid of all camera intimidation… I’m beginning to wonder if this is how I should begin all of my engagement sessions! haha! I was wondering if they would be able to let the goose loose in their first 10 minutes of meeting me, but it was absolutely no problem with them! So, of course I’m crazy about these two too now!
Jackie & Kirk came from Boston for their session & we had some fun stuff to describe their personalities & relationship. They are both teachers & are very passionate about urban education. So, being they are in Boston (lots of biking) & are so passionate about being teachers (lots of apples), we had some fun!
Let the photo freak fest begin…
We got to a tree & I said - Ok, do something exciting! Yep, they hopped up in there.
No apples were harmed in the making of this session. They made lots of delicious pies afterwards!
I’m guessing this is what Appalachian people do
Their wedding day is July 23rd 
Thanks again you two for a great afternoon out & about in Raleigh! See you soon!

Back in October I headed over to April & Paul’s house to photograph their engagement session… and in a little while, I’ll be headed over there to begin photographing their wedding day! It’s so wild how fast that time has come & gone! So, I thought it would be appropriate to share a little bit of their story today!
April & Paul are so calm & comfy with each other and it only seemed right to begin their session at their home. This is their first home together & they have done so much work on it - it’s their labor of love and it is beautiful. From someone who does nothing in the yard ever, it was great seeing how these two made landscaping their project! So… we being with a little hanging out around the house!
Meet Zoey - their baby!
Zoey got bored.
Snuggle time on the couch! Love it!
These two are avid NCSU fans! You know I love that!
Delicious!
These two are smokin’!
*sizzle* I’ll see you two in a little while! It’s going to be a WONDERFUL day!!!

Last weekend I photographed Sarah & Matthew’s engagement session and it was a BEAUTIFUL day for doing it! This NC weather has been incredible lately! Sarah & Matthew have been living hours apart due to jobs for a very long time and we went into their session just to capture the simplicity of them. They love each other so much & it shows so very much. It was really great spending an afternoon with them - it was sort of like an up close stalker fest for me! It was great! It’s really hard to be natural with a camera in your face, but Sarah & Matthew had absolutely NO problem with it. I really enjoyed witnessing the chemistry that these two share & I think you will too
OH I LOVE how people look when they are laughing!!!!
Beauties
Doing Beautiful Things

Today these two are getting married!!! YEAH!!! And I am soooo excited!!! It’s my first wedding of the year and I just can’t wait! I am so thrilled to be a part of their wedding because they are two very fun people! They are so silly with each other & are just coo coo about one another. I think you know - I love silly. They are wonderful together, they are wonderful with their children & have fantastic chemistry together as a big happy family! And since Dan & Mellisa are big kids themselves… it only seemed appropriate to get shots of them at Marbles… and since it was snowing outside when we did the session, that also made sense to go indoors!!! haha!
So, why not start off with some fun?!
silly pirates
When I said “Attack!!”, these two kiddos did not question it! haha!
These two are bookworms, so why not settle into a book in downtown?!
And this is one of their favorites book - I’m really not trying to insinuate that they are Forever Odd… tee hee
Dan loves Bond, James Bond. It’s obviously in his blood!
Not silly. No, really - silly.
Love it!!! I’m so excited for today you two!!! Yippeeeeee!!

A couple of weeks ago I spent a cloudy Friday afternoon with Stephanie & Turner. When I asked Stephanie what would reflect the two of them.. She said the country, Turner’s truck & chocolate chip cookies. So.. she met me in a cow field in Turner’s truck & stepped out with a basket full of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. My husband would be shocked forever if I ever cooked him anything.. and so anyone who makes time to cook, also has my admiration!
Stephanie & Turner sittin’ in a cow field… first comes love…
Then comes cookies…
I told Turner I should get a picture of him in the pond next.. He was a little hesitant for that one.
With the fall colors & their clothes, they were begging for some leaf throwing
Sweetness
They’re getting married in March, so you won’t have to wait much longer to see more of these cuties..
