Welcome to my blog
So this is a place I rant and rave, wear my heart on my sleeve, gush on my family, and most importantly share my art...the photo stories of wonderful couples and people I cross paths with. Don't be afraid to bookmark it, or leave a comment. I love hearing from everyone and anyone. Check back frequently...I will try to keep you updated.

Jenna and Matthew wanted a first look- to have a minute together before the ceremony.
Btw- the above image is one of my favorites- her face is priceless.

the shot 3rd down {view from far off}- was Em's- and I just adore that shot!
Since the ceremony + reception were in the same physical location {love this} I will share the details next.
next we wanted to take advantage of the last few minutes of daylight {and the dark} for some portraits.
I loved shooting this wedding, being at this wedding...getting to know Jenna. It's one of those weddings that I drive home sad because it is over. I know it isn't over because Jenna will be even closer in a few months and we can chat over coffee about photography and light and film. I can't wait to see what becomes of her professional career. I love that she is in her twenties and has spent as much time in the darkroom as I have.
I want to write a book about you guys, but you are waiting to see this post right now!
My love to you!!!

There are literally so many images to blog, that I wanted to just a little peek up before the weekend. Jenna incorporated so many hand-crafted, inventive, creative and inspired details for her wedding, that a long blog post is certainly in order. First thing next week, Miss Jenna will be headlining once again. Until then...

My church (Elevation Church out of Charlotte) has been talking about giants*, and facing whatever yours may be.
If you haven't noticed, I share. I feel it releases me from my issues, from my giants or what's troubling me. So that's what I do.
My giant, well I have a few of them I suppose, are self-doubt and remembering to live in the moment (or focusing on what's important). God has given me three wonderful children that I am raising and I need to be in their moments, before they are gone. What is really important right now is watching these kids grow up, and being present- REALLY present.
Today I want to encourage you to face your giant and kick him in the pants. Make today the first day of many you start tackling whatever is troubling you or holding you back. Whether it is food or pride or doubt...we are stronger than these things. You can do it. This is the year, to be the best you!
*check out the message called Grapes and Giants if you want to be inspired.
