    Engagements: JaVonni + Christopher | Raleigh Engagement Photographer

    Friday, October 25, 2013

    Meet JaVonni and Christopher. When they individually made plans to travel to the wedding of a mutual friend, neither anticipated meeting their future life companion. They were introduced at the wedding and hung out with a group of friends over the course of the weekend. Even then, JaVonni and Christopher were oblivious. A simple walk on the beach changed that. They established an unbreakable bond on that walk...one that both of them knew was different from any other that they had felt in the past. That weekend turned into a celebration of love, all around.

    One thing that I love about them is that they are both incredibly passionate, especially about football. An immediate household rivalry has been born out of this relationship; Giants vs. Cowboys. Football season should be very interesting at their place. Congratulations to my loving, funny and super competitive couple! Wishing you two a lifetime of blessings.

    It's nice to be able to stop for a minute and take in the smallest details. Sometimes I have to force myself to do this, and today was no different. Earlier today, I was walking the dog, trying to hurry up so that I could get back in the house...as usual. But then I realized that after 2 weeks, the sun was finally out. It felt soooo good to me! So I began to do a lazy stroll with Nat, taking in the sights of my neighborhood. Then I came across all of these beautiful bushes with little, blooming flowers. The bees were all OVER them though. (I run like a chicken when a bee is near) But what I was seeing was such an awesome picture! So I went inside, grabbed my camera, and made my foe my model. All I can say is, she's not so bad...today. Glad I paused for a second to enjoy the light of the sun on my back.

    Engagements: Leslie + Stephen | Raleigh Engagement Photographer

    Monday, October 7, 2013

    Before I photograph anyone, I tend to pray to God that he allow me to see my subject how he sees them. I especially love doing this before weddings and engagement sessions, and this time was no different. Leslie and Stephen's engagement shoot couldn't be any more perfect than it already was! The weather was perfect, our location was set up perfectly and my couple received a pleasant confirmation; Their wedding date engraved in the form of the address of our shoot location. Totally NOT planned by me! Congratulations to my dynamic, super affectionate, funny couple: Leslie and Stephen.
