Restaurant Review...coming soon!

I am pretty excited about this. My two friends and I have decided to do a monthly girls dinner, starting tomorrow. There is one stipulation....try new restaurants! Tomorrow night we are going to Loco Lime off of Central Blvd.. I love that area and am kind of sad that I don't venture out more often. Years ago my friends and I would go to the comedy improve--The Perch, absoultely hilarious and made for a pretty fun Friday/Saturday evenings. Those days are long gone...along with the original Penguin, buuut it's never too late to try something new. I can't wait to go, it should be a fun night out. If anybody has any suggestions about other restaurants around..(local, non chain) send them my way. We have 10 other dinners to figure out. 

Referrals!

Spring is coming! Spring is coming! Can't wait to get out there and take pictures without the gloomy feeling of winter. I have a couple wedding sessions going on and some Senior portraits, but I still have some weekends open! If anybody sends me a referral, I will send you (clearly you have to have had me do your pictures!!) a set of printed 4x6 matte pictures of all the photos on the CD, plus an 5x6 or an 8x10 enlargement of the photo of your choice. I'm so excited to be able to take pictures of adorable, and beautiful people & places as the year progresses. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Steelers.

I'm still a fan. See you at St. Vincents in the Summer.

Pretty Proud.

I would like to congratulate myself on making my very first blog header!! I am pretty proud of how it turned out after searching,googling, and scouring the internet for days. I never thought I could make it look as decent as all the other cool bloggers out there, but finally I have made something that I am proud of! I can't wait to learn how to make more things. If anybody needs any help with making a custom header, I'd be GLAD to make another, they are so fun.

In the meantime...here are a few photos from a couple shoots I did a few weeks ago. I went to school (high school!) with both of the ladies, and now they have some adorable children. See for yourself...I don't lie!

(the names have been changed to protect the innocent!! i'm kidding, they are darling.)

My Blog...

is a mess. I'm in the process of learning how to make custom headers and its time consuming. Oy.

Sometimes it pours!

I could not be MORE EXCITED about the upcoming weeks. I really wish this nasty weather would subside and the sun would shine more. Its gloomy and blah without it. I made my sister and her best friend (that's not really her best friend) be my little projects on a photo shoot. We headed down to NoDa but for some reason I wasn't too thrilled with how those turned out as a whole. Lo and behold the good ole train tracker in Huntersville made the perfect setting...there was this random caboose on the tracks that we used. I swear in all the years that I have lived here, I have never seen this caboose. We had fun; people driving by probably thought I was on a suicide mission as I was laying down on my stomach on the train tracks. Believe me, I have left a shoot with mud stains on my jeans! I am not above getting messy! Enjoy some photos below, I can't wait to share more stories after this weekend!









(Half Of) January 2011

Man, it seems you turn around and half of the month has already passed! I definitely feel like it this month, especially. We just returned from 6 days in Cancun...our Christmas gift from Steve's parents. The resort is amazing, secluded from the 'hotel zone' of the city and set back far enough where you feel you're on a private island. We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed the days of relaxation. The one complaint I had, not really a complaint but an omission to my laziness, was the size of the place. Seriously by the time you walk back to your room after breakfast/lunch/dinner, you're hungry again! I can't complain about getting exercise and I'm proud to say I took the stairs all but 2 times to get to our room on the 3rd floor...I could feel the all-you-can-eat buffets creeping up on my waistline.

As far as photography, I had an engagement shoot on New Year's Ever in Denver, NC. The pictures turned out amazing! The couple was so easy-going and a lot of fun to work with. Plus it has been a good 10 years of so since I have gotten to trapse around in woods, frolick in the stream and climb rocks. Ok, I really didn't frolick (that word is NOT in my vocabulary)...just waded through the water in my rain boots taking pictures! I hope there are many more engagement sessions in the future....there are so many possibilites!
