Finally...here are Bobby and Cheryl's Engagement photos. They were so much fun! It's too bad they're getting married in Washington. Anyways, I'm so happy for them. Washington is such a beautiful place to get married. Atleast I had the honors of taking their engagement photos (on the day of the superbowl)..but it was definitely worth it. I was able to capture so many great things...Don't you love her hair? She works at the Tangles salon off of Raeford Rd across Harris Teeter.

On a personal note...as I'm writing this blog I have a wrap around my head with an ice pack. I just had my wisdom teeth extracted. I am unable to speak properly without sounding "drunk".

Audrelle is having a baby girl. I met her while working with Carmen Johnson at the Flawless Vision Salon. They are both very good hair stylists and make up artists and do everything from appointments to bridal make overs. We started working together at the end of '09 getting some ladies hair, make-up, and pictures taken for their special ones (boudoir/pinup). By the way, did I tell you I'm coming out with a new boudoir website--new pictures and prices! Anyways, I love their work and how they make my clients feel comfortable before I shoot their glamour or boudoir session.

This past week I was able to work with her again at my studio downtown. We did a few outside as well, but the wind was so strong. I hope it calms down a little bit more next week, but overall...I love the weather outside. Do you? Summer is just right around the corner and this is the BEST weather to shoot in. It's getting quite busy. Give me a call if you would like to set up an outdoor session. I'd love to meet some new people. 904-401-7605; Fayetteville, NC.

Happy New Years everyone! First blog of the year and last one about last year. November and December were not that bad outside. Fortunately I was able to hold several couple sessions downtown and at the cape fear botanical garden....

      I had the opportunity to capture the father of a family of 6 come home. This is the first time I've done this, and I have to admit, it was very heartwarming. The four kids, Chris, Nick, Ben, and Lexie, had no idea who was coming home. Their mom pretended their grandparents were arriving at the airport, but the father who has been deployed for the past 8 months was coming home to see his children and wife for the holidays. When their dad walked towards them from the terminal, a few of the kids stood still, frozen, and needed a second to register in their minds that it was their dad in front of them. Their daughter, Lexie, ran straight towards him while calling him out with joy. It was quite a surprise to them.

This year has been a long and difficult one. Thankfully, it's coming to an end and we're still blessed with health and the presence of those who care for us. Hopefully, we can all make our best out of the upcoming 2011. I'm looking forward to seeing new clients, repeat clients, and all the scheduled weddings I have for next year. It will be an adventure, a challenge, a different experience, and hopefully a new memory for each event I attend. Thanks everyone!

Starting January 2011, I will be taking in appointments for pin-up/boudoir. In order to receive your Feb. 14 gifts for your hubbies in time, your appointment needs to be on or before February 3. Any appointments thereafter wishing to receive their products on time, can do so with overnight shipping rates.


Enjoy!
