A Beatiful View

While walking the dogs this morning I glanced over my shoulder and saw this gorgeous view.  This time of year, in the field behind my house, it gets covered with buttercups.  It's a great big sea of yellow.  This is one of my favorite views.

Sunset

Took some time out of my busy schedule to stop and take a picture of the beautiful sunset out my back door tonight.  I am so lucky to have such a gorgeous view... I love sunsets!

Meg Soccer

My daughter decided it was time to start playing soccer again, so I decided to forego the "formal" soccer pictures and just take my own.  We walked over to Springwood Park and took a few shots this evening.  This is one time she didn't mind me actually taking her picture :)

40th Birthday Surprise

I'm going to try and incorporate a few more personal moments into my photography so people can get a sense of me, what I enjoy and what I'm about.  This past weekend I wanted to do something special for my husbands 40th birthday.  So... as any crazy wife would do, I decided to throw him a surprise party, which (if you know my husband) you know it's not easy to surprise him :)  Here are some of my favorites from the party.

And yes, if you are wondering, we played pin the bikini on the lady :)

Tenorio Children

Back in the spotlight, the Tenorio Children.  This is, possibly my third shoot with them and I can honestly say I just adore them.  The oldest is just a doll and the two younger ones, well aren't they just adorable?

Greensboro Night Shoot!

Last night the Triad Photography Group took a trip to downtown Greensboro to get some Night Shots. I must say, night photography is one of my favorites.
 

A New Year!

A New Year and some new adventures for me. This month I had the opportunity to take a trip to Arizona, my first time EVER! Unfortunately, it is February, so I didn't venture out too much, but here are just a few of the shots I took!

There's No Place Like Home...

I am so super excited to be home for Christmas.  We've had an awesome time with family and friends.  We even drove into Boston Christmas night so I could get a skyline photo.  It's not quite what I envisioned it would be, but I'll just have to go back and try again. 

Photo Fun with The Hamilton's

Meet The Hamilton's, this session was a blast!  Holly knew exactly what she wanted and came prepared.  It was a ton of fun trying to get all 3 kids to stay still and look at the camera, but I always did love a challenge :) 

Feeling Adventurous!

First off, Happy Veteran's Day to all of the men and women who have fought for our Freedom!  I appreciate your service and sacrifice.

So, today I was feeling a little adventurous. I've always wanted to get a few photos of my dogs and the foliage is just beautiful...so, out to the park we went. I waited until Meg got home from school, so she could help me with the boys, and then we headed out to the park. 

Let me tell you what a challenge it is to get two dogs to cooperate.  Unfortunately, they have two totally different personalities and wanted to do two different things so, I couldn't get a photo of the two of them together.  Just individuals.  But they are still adorable.  I love the boys so much.  So, here they are.  Mr. Buddy and Mr. Pork Chop!

The Locklear's

Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing some of our great friends.  Calvin and Jennie are just adorable.  I had so many great shots of them it was so hard to limit it to 30 photos for their gallery.  We did the shoot in Raleigh, I must say I really LOVE the city setting for pictures.  We had some great spots to shoot.  I went through and tried to pick just a "few" favorites, but go so carried away that you guys are getting an extended sneek peek.  Enjoy!

Fall has Arrived!

Anybody who knows me, knows just how much I love fall.  It is my, by far, my favorite season.  I think my love for Fall comes from growing up in Massachusetts.  After I met my husband we would take day trips once a year to go "leaf peeping".  We would go to New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine or even just the Western part of Massachusetts.  It was one of my favorite things to do.  Foliage in the Northeast is usually at peak right around the end of September, so adjusting to the timing in the South was hard for me. 

Today I woke up and decided to take a ride to Virginia.  Everyone talks about Mabry Mill and I wanted to visit it at peak fall time so I could see what all the fuss was about.  Funny thing is, and it's just my luck, they had a storm last night and it blew most of the leaves off the trees.  So, I knew it was going to be a challenge to get the shot I was looking for.  But, I was able to get some gorgeous shots.  The plus side of this trip, I let Meg take the day off of school and we had a great Mommy/Daughter day. 

It's amazing to spend time with her as she's growing up.  She has so much to say and it just warms my heart to be able to do these types of things with her. 

Here are some shots from our trip.

Megan's Love of Horses

One of my daughter's favorite things to do, is horseback.  Megan has been taking lessons since she was 7 and has not waivered from it at all.  You know she's really committed when she volunteers to go and clean stalls.  Who does that?  Our Thursdays consist of coming home from work, Meg getting ready and then we head on over to the barn for her lesson.  While she's doing her lesson Chris and I watch, I occasionally take pictures of her on the horse and then I take pictures of some of the other horses as well.  Below are a few of the pictures from today's lesson as well as one of the horses at the barn and, of course, the barn cat that comes and keeps me company while Meg is riding. 

Scott Kelby Photo Walk

I took the opportunity to go on my very first Scott Kelby Photowalk today!  I had a great time, I even had my daughter come along with me.  I was able to catch a few photos of her throughout the day as well.  I just LOVE being able to spend this time with her and capture her true personality.  There is nothing better in this world, than being a mom.

Flowers

It seems like everytime I turn around I see a gorgeous flower. My poor husband always sees me poking around the garden, but not to pick the weeds, I'm always there trying to find a new perspective of taking a photo of a flower. I just love the colors!



 

NCPG Cookout

Yesterday afternoon, I attended the NCPG 1st annual cookout. I was very excited to see one of my favorite models, and she brought her boyfriend!  I had so much fun photographing them :)  Here are some of my favorites.

Baby "H" has arrived!

Today I had the opportunity to photography two week old baby "H".  Newborns are so unpredictable. It took a little bit to get him to fall asleep, but he did and we were able to capture some gorgeous pictures of him.  The wait was well worth it.  How precious is he?

Outer Banks

This past weekend we took a family camping trip to the beach.  While the weekend was cut short because of torrential rain and our campsite flooding, I was still able to get some great shots.  I woke up early Saturday morning to see about getting some sunrise pictures.  Let me tell you, if you have the opportunity to go to the beach and watch the sunrise... I highly recommend it.  There is nothing like it in the world!
