Desirae & Justin: Married

Congrats to Desirae and Justin who became Mr and Mrs Butler on April 11th! The wedding took place at the gorgeous Ballantyne Resort overlooking the golf course. It was absolutely beautiful and the bride looked stunning! After the ceremony there was a fabulous Tiffany's inspired reception complete with a candy bar! After the reception we got to meet up with Desirae and Justin in Uptown Charlotte to have a little photo shoot fun. The couple met while working for Bank of America, so of course we had to get some pictures!!

Congrats to both of you! Enjoy!

Happy Easter!!

I remember the days back when I use to go to sleep with curlers in my hair for church the next day. Me and my sisters would wake up early on Easter Sunday and put our robes and slippers on to go outside and hunt for Easter Eggs left by the Easter Bunny. While my memory of those days is not perfect, my parents were excellent at documenting Easter morning with the video camera. Last July for my birthday my dad gave me a copy of all of our home videos from the time I was born on DVD. It was so much fun watching me and my sisters grow up! The 3 things my family was REALLY good at capturing on video were: Christmas, opening birthday presents and Easter. We looked so cute in our little pjs running around trying to find all the eggs even though none of us were truly awake yet!

There's one video with my younger sister, who's probably about 2 or 3 at the time, just following us around with a dazed look on her face. She didn't quite get it yet. Then of course there's the year the Dad (aka Easter Bunny... and Santa) decided to hide the eggs in the FRONT yard! What a tricky little bunny :o) 

Wishing you a very Happy Easter!!

Inspiration

Where does one find inspiration? Photographers are always looking for it. I was wandering through various stores last week looking for creative ideas. In one store, a clerk asked if she could help me find something. I told her I was looking for inspiration and asked where they keep that. Wouldn't it be wonderful to walk into a store and look in the Inspiration aisle when you need it?
I did find some good ideas and we will be announcing some exciting new opportunities coming up soon.

Stay Tuned

We've got some exciting new programs to share with you so stay tuned!!! I'll give you a hint:



And no, Christy is NOT pregnant!

Spring

I love spring! Today has been one of those wonderful spring Saturdays in Waxhaw. First off was the WVFD Easter Egg Hunt and BBQ. Then it was an hour nap on my lounge chair in the backyard. And now it's time to hang out with my Grandma :o)

Growing up in CA we have trees, but not nearly as many as here. This makes for a pretty week of blossoming trees, but that's about it. One of my favorite things about Spring time in the south are all of the different budding trees. Each week and new tree starts to blossom and it looks beautiful!!

The one downside to Spring in the south is missing out on all of the beautiful wildflowers that could be found on the side of the road in my hometown. These pictures were taken by my little sister last weekend. Isn't it beautiful?!!
