It was such a great surprise to see John and his beautimus girlfriend, Alisha, on Sunday! We are both from New Bern and our moms were best friends, I am 6 years older than him and used to babysit him and my sister. John is moving to Okinawa for 2 years and came up to visit my sister this weekend before leaving. They swung by to see us and we made them model, he was wearing a comfy grey sweatshirt with a bright orange shirt underneath and luckily under that he had on his white shirt. She was looking beautiful just the way she was!
I am so proud of him and it is sooo great to see these two so happy and in love! You could see the sparks between their lips as they smooched and the twinkle in their eyes as they looked at one another. We didn’t have to prompt a thing with these two, they would just be walking and he would unexpectedly swoop her up and she would just melt in his arms. We love and will miss you, Be SAFE!

These two were so excited to play on the farm, so I took them to all the fun spots! The sunlight was so yummy this day that I couldn’t get out of the gorgeous grapevines… but we managed to move on to the fun tractors! I really enjoyed feeding their sweet pooch hot dogs too! I hope we see them again next year for their funtabulous awesome wedding! Congrats you two! You are awesome and so so much fun..
Here are some of my faves!

Paige, Ted and I had so so much fun frolicing in Ocracoke the other day! We went all over the adorable village to play. First of all we began with some sweet warm up shots at a quaint Bed and Breakfast… the same one that Ted proposed to Paige 2 years ago. Then we went for some much needed ice cream before our bike ride to the Ocracoke Lighthouse. After playing some more on the bikes, we went back to their place and snuggled a bit on the couch taking full advantage of the air conditioning! Then we took a yummy bottle of wine to the beach, snuggled some more and then jumped in the water! All in all it was a perfect day with two wonderful people! Thanks so much for having me there to play with you! I can’t even begin to tell you how much I adore you and am in awe of your LOVE!
Here are some of my faves (and it sure was hard to narrow them down LOL)

I had the pleasure of taking Melodye and Bryan’s engagement pics. They are so much fun and playful. They brought their sweet little pups… Zoe and Macey who were tons of fun too! We frolicked around the Whalehead Club and then at the beach. These 2 were such troopers… playing in the water even though it was SUPER cold outside. Here are some of my faves from our play day! Enjoy.

These two are so totally in love! Just before our photo shoot Rob asked his loverbuns to marry him! Right on the top of the Hatteras Lighthouse. How Romantic! She was completely surprised! And I was completely excited to take pics of them all freshly engaged! How sweet, I always love being part of someone’s special moments! Thanks for having me! Here are a few of my faves.
I think that this next picture captured their emotion perfectly!
The light was just so delicious that night!

Not only did I get to play with these fantastic people on their wedding day, but I got to go back the day after and play some more with them! Only this time I got to get them in the ocean a bit and have them roll around in the sand too! Here are a few of my faves. Enjoy!

Carrie got to frolick in Raleigh with these two, aren’t they toot??!! They have the sweetest video of his proposal at one of her art shows on Facebook… as soon as we can figure out how to link it here we will! It’s always so exciting and humbling when another artist chooses us to capture their day! We can’t wait for their October wedding! Miss Brandi-lion is quite a talented artist, I LOVE her paintings of the sassy ladies!! I can’t wait to have one hanging in our home! Take a look at her sites, www.brandibowen.com and her fabulous design site. You will be blown away!
