Southern Charm

Bow ties on a dock! :) I recently photographed these ties for the launch of the High Cotton Ties summer line! It was fun and really out of my element. I'm sorry for not being on here often lately.. the loss of my grandmother has made things a little extra difficult around here lately.

Heartbroken but Healing

I'm sorry for the long break between uploads.. My grandmother passed away two weeks ago and I haven't had the heart to go out and take any new photographs since then. She was very sick and I had been helping to take care of her for the last few weeks of her life. She was an incredible woman, from whom I get my stubborn determination and humor. I miss her so much that it hurts... I never actually realized that your heart could physically hurt from emotional pain - but indeed, there is such a thing. Just say a prayer if you can.

I wrote a blog post dedicated to her last week if you'd like more info! Thanks for your support!

Cellular Abstraction

Natalie Franke posted a video:

A very abstract, non-narrative, stop motion video I put together as a class project for Visual Studies. Created using a newspaper and pearlized sprinkles on black paper. The sprinkles ten to group and move and feel like cells growing until they are revealed at the very end.

So different from anything I've ever done before. It was really challenging and eye-opening. I have so much respect for people who do animation... it's hard. Very hard.

Speckled with Beauty.

Five Year Anniversary

Yesterday I celebrated my five year anniversary with my long-term boyfriend, Hugh! He woke me up with breakfast in bed & I baked him a cake with this cute candle! A simple way of celebrating our relationship - it was so sweet and lovely! The last five years have been an incredible journey of growing up and falling in love... I hope the next five years are just as wonderful! :)

The weekend brought rain & wind to the entire area. Pulled this image from the archives, but it reflects Sunday's weather perfectly.

Hoping your week is off to a good start! Grab a cup of coffee & trek on!

Oh Hi, it's me! I can't remember the last time I posted a portrait of myself on here - this combo was taken last weekend at a shoot for a new local wedding blog that I've been working on! Thank you to my dear friend Krista for taking these!

The sprawl of spring, new beginnings, growth, and the arrival of the busy photography season! So much going on, but I'm going to continue to try to post here on Flickr!

Thank you all for the sweet welcomes back into the Flickr world. I missed your inspiring streams very much! Who is new to the Flickr world? I would love some suggestions for new contacts!! :)

Last night at an engagement session in Baltimore, this butterfly kept landing on my client's shoulder. It was the most peculiar thing! :)

I guess the little guy just wanted to make a few new friends! TGIF!

The Realm of All Things Beautiful

I'm happy to finally be uploading images to Flickr again & getting to see everyone's photos again. My poor stream was neglected for a while!

Today I posted the second of two videos to my Facebook Page. It was filmed on canon dslrs. I am seriously hoping and praying that Nikon's replacement of the D700 will have HD video.. it would be a dream come true! :)

What's left behind.

After these crazy summer thunderstorms that blow through in the late afternoon, there is always something beautiful that is left behind. Those cute little water droplets.

Happy Bokeh Wednesday! :) Not sure if I like the new flickr yet, but I'm off to explore all of your work! Have an awesome day!

Another shoot from all of my sessions last week! :) The video of these two will be up at the end of the week. Very exciting.

I'm off to check out your streams! :) Thanks for the constant inspiration that your work gives me. Flickr photogs are so incredibly talented!

Mondays

Last week - I photographed this gorgeous senior & a few other models for a behind the scenes video. We filmed it on a Canon Rebel & 5D Mk2 with a 50mm & 35mm lens. Some of the clips are a little blurred or soft, but overall I am astounded by the quality of the Canon's HD video.... It makes me consider switching over... maybe! ;)
