Family Picture Time!!

 

For those of us who love to send out a family christmas card now is the time to get the pictures to put in it done!   My schedule is clear and the colors are amazing this year.   This is the Arellano family kicking things off  they are too cute! 

Ellen's Bridals

 

Ellen had a lovely fall wedding but there is always one dilemma  with fall weddings.....super hot summer bridals.  Luckily Ellen had a great alternative which was The Kings Daughters Inn  a beautiful simple inn with good soft light and amazing decor.  We had so much fun looking in all the nooks and crannies finding the best spot to shoot.   Thank you to the lovely staff for letting us meander around and Ellen as usual you are amazing!  

From the mountains to the Outer Banks

 

Love these two, loved the location and boy did we get lucky with the beautiful day!  It rained the whole week before the wedding and magically like it was special ordered we got an amazing day with perfect clouds and light!  These guys came from the great north to hang in one of North Carolina's most amazing places. I totally expected that we would have to wait til quite a bit later to get the good light shots and while we were shooting the wedding I noticed that the tide was coming in a little close.  By the end I was told I might have 30 minutes before we completely lost the beach so we made a mad dash and shot some quick and amazing shots.  These guys were so kind to let me change plans and get perfect shots throughout the day!

 

Engagements at the Fair

 

I got an email form these two a couple of weeks ago, sooo what would you think about doing our engagements at the fair, are you kidding I would love it!!  Funny thing is I have a romantic shoot here Sunday too so this was a great time to practice since the other couple will be all dolled up in their wedding attire.  These two were such troopers I started off by walking us in a huge circle, yay me.  But at least we had a good lay of the land by so we could get crackin.  Some of the vendors were so sweet to let us do rides free since all we really needed was to jump on get the shot and jump back off.  I never expected the light to be so good either I had a bunch of equipment all ready ( Thank You Shena!!! for carrying it all over the place) and didn't really need it,  Most of the shots are complete available light which I think really adds to the feel of the shot.  Anyway I could go on forever cause this was so much fun but let me just let the pictures speak for themselves.

Headshot in the Park

 

Two more cuties who love the camera.  The light was amazing and these two graciously followed me around while I shot them in every place possible.  Thanks guys you rock!
