Angie & Eric’s Engagement Session
The weather was perfect for Angie and Eric’s Engagement Session. They will be married in April next year. I can’t wait to see everything that they have planned for their wedding come to life. Time is flying! Only a few more months! They both looked great for the session. Here are some of my favorite shots.

Small Weddings Have Big Impact
A small, intimate wedding…Can it be done? Many start out with hopes in having an intimate wedding with a short guest list of only your very closest family and friends. But soon, after you write down all the names, the list takes more than a few pages of paper. Andrea and Jon proved that it can be done. I congratulate them for achieving the long sought ”small intimate wedding” and sticking to their goals from the start. With less than 20 people in attendance, you could really feel the closeness of the group and all eyes smiling happily on Andrea and Jon. I felt as it was an honor to be part of such a personal affair; to be invited to witness and document their marriage. Andrea and Jon where married outdoors at William B. Umstead State Park. The weather was a little on the chilly side, but the rain held off. The Pavilion was such a perfect location. Surrounded by nature and their very closest family and friends, Andrea and Jon were wed by Reverend Kayelily Middleton. The reception was at the Umstead Hotel. They had a private dinning room with all the guests around one large dinning table. Again, such a great feeling in the room. I was happy I was there to share in the day. Congratulations again to Andrea and Jon!

Buying a Camera
I just had to share this photograph with you. Immediately when I saw it, I fell in love with it. With all the times I looked through old photographs growing up, I never saw this one. It was such a joy to discover this photograph. To see the photograph and learn the story. It is a photograph of my grandma at the store. She was buying a camera and the clerk took her picture with the camera in demonstration of the camera. How lucky I am now that the clerk took this photograph. A little moment in time immortalized.
Preserving the Past
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed the time with their family. Hopefully you have some fun photographs from the day you can later look back on.
Little pieces here and there to preserve the past. In whatever spare time I can find, I have been trying to work on a special personal project over the last couple of months. It has been a lot of work and I still have a lot of work ahead of me as well; but it is a project I have wanted to do for a quite a while. I will share more with you after the project is finished. For now, I just wanted to share some of the cosmetic miracles photoshop can aide in performing. Here is a photograph of my grandma sitting by the freshly decorated christmas tree in the 1960′s as well as a portrait taken of my great grandparents. I am happy with the way they turned out and that I was able to bring these photographs back to life.
