Ella & Anna

I photographed a short infant portrait session with my new twin nieces, Ella and Anna, when they were four weeks old. Since they were born 4 weeks earlier than most babies that aren't twins, they were about the size of a lot of new born babies when we did the photos.

This is right before Anna started screaming = why the portrait session was short.


Ella was less amused and cried the whole time.

Sarah's Senior Portraits

Sarah is a soon-to-be senior at Smithfield Selma High School. We recently did her photos in Downtown Smithfield, NC. My office and studio are downtown, and I'm there most week days, but I continue to find cool new places to shoot—seems like I would have seen everything by now. Nope. The proofs from the session are on the proof site.

I love photographing high school seniors. (I also love bridals, engagements, and weddings). I hope this love shows up when people see my work.

Mrs. Kellogg

Today was such a great day for Stephanie and Ryan's wedding. Stephanie was super chill the whole day, and Ryan had the biggest cheesiest smile that lasted the entire time. I think he might have worked it for the camera a couple times, but I might be wrong—he was probably just working his excitement.

I finally get to show you Stephanie's gorgeous bridal portraits. We shot them a couple months ago at the Hinnant Family Vineyards in Pine Level, NC. That's where we had the reception this evening. They're in the process of renovating their banquet hall, but they put together a beautiful room for the party tonight; I understand there will be even more changes by the next time I visit.

Pretty New Albums

I'm excited to finally get to show off a new product that I'm offering. I'm partnering with Finao to offer albums from both their Elements and ONE album lines. I recently ordered and received a couple samples from the Elements line. (I'm still working on the samples for the very hot ONE album.)

I love these custom, self-mount albums. There are a bunch of cover options including gorgeous brocades and bright leather-look materials, and you can choose the color of the pages. Since they're self-mount albums the edges of the pages will show. Oh, and with one cover material (available in lots of colors) we can have the cover imprinted. These are not options I had available with my previous self-mount albums. (Self-mount means that I print the pages for the album at my lab and mount them myself before giving the album to you.)

These photos were taken with my lovely new lens. YEA!! I'm shooting Stephanie and Ryan's wedding this Saturday, which I'm way excited about because I'm always excited about shooting weddings, but I have some new equipment that I'm ready to use on a real shoot. I also figured out why my color was getting messed up between the Lightroom export and opening the photos in Photoshop, so you should be seeing much improved color quality on the blog.

Family Portraits

I shot portraits for this lovely family at Pullen Park in Raleigh a couple weeks ago. I've been steering clear of the park for a while because I've thought it would seem too juvenile—I think I've seen a lot of other photographers' work there of little kids in the spring with bright flowers in the backgrounds, so that might be why? I don't know. But I finally decided to give it a try and loved all the great places to shoot.

I know the mom, Ginger, from my new Bible study group. We're both leaders for a ladies' Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) class in North Raleigh. We're taking a break for summer, but we'll get started back the Monday after Labor Day. This coming year we're going to be studying the life of Moses. Let me know if you're interested in getting more info about the study. It's an international organization, so even if you're not living in the Raleigh area, there's probably a class near you somewhere.
