Today is my youngest son’s birthday… which makes me so sad in a happy kind of way! He is 3 today - my baby isn’t much of a baby anymore! We celebrated his big day yesterday at my mom & dad’s house and he had such a wonderful time! One of his favorite people is my dad, so he was in heaven being with my dad, family, his race cars, all the gifts & birthday cake! We were sad that my sister (another favorite person!) couldn’t be there but we were so happy to have all of the rest of my family there to celebrate!
It’s a big day for him today… and for me (I’m a sappy mom today!)... So, just thought I would share some of the fun we had yesterday!
The birthday boy & his race car goodies!
I have the cutest nephew & niece on the planet!!!
He was trying to act shy during the big birthday song
One of his favorite people lighting his birthday cake! My sweet daddy!
Is it ok Victor? Do you like it?
YES!!!
His brother Diego loves the “What’s yours is mine” thing
Gift time! He loved it!
My nephew Grayson liked gift time too 
He is too stinkin’ cute!
Diego was loving wrapping himself, my mom & me up in all of the balloons
Pinata time! Candy isn’t a bad way to end a wonderful party!
Happy 3rd Birthday my sweet baby boy!

I am so excited because this weekend is jammed pack with Amanda & Jason activities! We got together a couple of weeks ago on an incredibly hot evening and captured some images of them being all cute & sweet together! They are so funny - which I’m sure you’ll be able to see in their images. They told me that they like old-fashioned things, old barns & the country. So, some spots came right to my mind immediately for them!
So, on to the cuteness! Youngsville screams old fashioned to me
Beautiful!
This shot makes me want to throw my head back & laugh!!! (and no - I did not ask her to do this!)
Close talking
An end to the close talking
You want barns?! You got it!
I love to stalk.
Amanda has this thing where if you poke her cheek it makes her smile! hahaha! She’s just toooo friggin’ cute!
I’m so excited to capture your rehearsal dinner & Wedding this weekend you two!

On May 29th I had the extreme pleasure of photographing Alan & Amanda’s wedding at Haywood Hall in downtown Raleigh. These two are just so wonderful & so beautiful together. They are beautiful people but there’s also an incredible serenity that rests on them that drew me in. They had so many special things about their big day… and you will see a couple of them. They mingled in very important items & people & it was just a really gorgeous day! I also love that these two pay very little attention to me when I photograph them - haha.. but they are so focused on one another it makes their images delicious. If you haven’t, you should check out some of their engagement images in my engagement gallery!
I love how vintage is making a HUGE comeback
Alan actually hand made pocket squares for his fellas
Meanwhile Amanda found beautiful old pieces of jewelry to give her ladies and cuff links for her man of honor
Amanda bought a brick for Alan at Haywood Hall to remember this big day in their lives - Awwwww!
Can you tell this was an awesome crowd?!
I love that Amanda wanted to re-create her grandmother’s bridal portrait

Amanda grabbed this awesome shot of the crew walking into the ceremony
Poor Alan had the sun blazing directly into his face… but I’m really not even sure he noticed
I LOVE big trees! Ah! I love ‘em! And her cocktail party was canopied by this fabulous tree!
Their first dance was AWESOME!
More fancy dress twirling dancing & such
