I must say Katherine and Mike had the best time at their engagement session.  They laughed and played the whole time.  Being the setting of their first date as well as where they got engaged it made for the perfect engagement photography session.  This couple has so much fun I can only imagine how the wedding will be and it won’t be long!  Can’t wait!  To see more images check out their album on Facebook

What a cute couple.  This couple was so comfortable with each other that it wasn’t surprising to me when they said they had known each other for over 7 years.  They could laugh at each other, made the same expressions and even blinked at the same time!  They just seemed so comfortable as if they were in each others skin.  Because the couple met at Elon University it seemed the perfect location for their engagement shoot.  With those smiles I am really looking forward to October!!!

My girlfriend lives on a farm and every year they get baby chics.  One of our favorite things to do is to go over and take pictures with the baby chics.   The kids love having their pictures taken with them.  Although our first chic had a little accident on the little one’s dress. After that the other little one wasn’t too sure about holding any of the chics.  Of course the bigger kids had no problems at all and loved every minute!  I love all my photography jobs but children’s photography is without a doubt fun!

This was taken at the tail end of a completely different shoot which I hope to get posted a little later.   But I just couldn’t stand not to post this one.  I just love it.  Children’s photography can be so amazing if you just let them be themselves…

I was so excited when Kristen and her husband came in to the studio for their maternity session.  Kristin is so cute and wears her pregnancy well.  She wanted a little outside but of course also the classic inside black background shots.  I sprinkled in some others with it.  The most exciting part is that this couple doesn’t know what they are having!  It could be a little baby boy bump or a little baby girl bump!  We did backdrops with both blue and pink so we could have it all covered. Enjoy! Can’t wait to meet this little man or lady when he/she comes. Congrats you two.  :  )

This is one of my favorite events.  I was asked by Cary Magazine to shoot this event last year for the first time. I was so touched by the event.   It is a gala to raise money for Downs Syndrome Research.  In 8 short years they have made great strides in their research and created collaboration with other research facilities across the US that had never before worked together.  The money raised can be tied back to concrete results.  Michelle the founder and mother of sweet Anna is truly and angel and an impressive person to create so much and produce such amazing results so quickly.  Thank you to Cary Magazine and Michelle for letting me be a part of such a great event.   Enjoy and I hope to see you there next year!  http://www.annas-angels.org/

I have always loved shooting for Cary Magazine.  It gives me such variety in my photography and the people are wonderful to work with on these projects.  Tonight I had the opportunity to join them for their Elegant Wedding Gala bridal show.  So many cool brides and some really sweet Mom’s helping their daughters out.  They also gave out one lucky couple their DREAM wedding.  It was great meeting everyone and working with so many great vendors! Special thanks to The English Garden for giving us the flowers and to the Matthews House for hosting the event!

Should Photographers give out their digital negatives?

Should Photographers give out their digital negatives?

I came across this blog post from another photographer and I must say I couldn’t agree more.  However with that said I do sell my digital negatives but I have always been very particular about only giving the DVD to my clients when they get their 200 4×6 prints in their image box.  This way they can see GOOD processing first before they take my DVD some where and the prints look terrible and they think it is my photography and not the labs processing.  With that said anytime you do a large print for display you REALLY want to use a pro lab not a consumer lab.  Here is a link to the article.  A very interesting read.   http://www.wendylwhitephotography.com/info/?p=481
