And now back to normal things...

Goodbye October! I will miss you! I can't believe it is already November. Where has this year gone?! Now I have to start thinking about Christmas! And so should you if you would like a lovely family portrait for this year's Holiday cards.. just dropping the hint:-)

Speaking of family shoots, I have some pictures to show you of the beautiful Walsh children! These guys were SO cute in their outfits, and they all have amazing blue eyes! Lucky ones! Unfortunately it was a frigid day on the beach and a little too windy for the twins' liking, but I was so happy we were able to grab just a few shots of them in the sand! We had to get creative for the rest of the shoot, but I think it worked out well!


And then this happened! This is what I like to call a "happy accident". I really love this shot, and the range of emotion. Though it probably won't make the Christmas card cover. haha.

This was the twins' first formal portrait session:-)





Look at those eyes! Crazy beautiful!

Getting warm in dad's jacket!

Happy babies!

They're Coming to Get You, Barbara...

In the spirit of the holiday, I thought I would go ahead and post a couple of pictures from last weekend's Zombie Walk in downtown Raleigh. It was my first time going out, and I didn't dress up. I just went with my camera to see what it was all about. So, I acknowledge that these are not award winning photos... but they are fun. You may not know this, but's hard to shoot in almost total darkness. The crowd really was a lot of fun, and I am totally dressing the part next year! Have a spooky day!

Never forget...


They're coming!

This guy did a really good job. He looks like he is straight out of a movie.

Thank goodness Shaun was there. He even brought his cricket bat!



This guy's costume was awesome. Brains for sale!

I didn't realize that zombies love cookout. Also, this guy looked just like Mark Hoppus.




This guy was very interactive! Loved it!



Best face!! She really looked the part!


So fun:-)

Engagement: Sally and Eric!

A couple of weekends ago, I headed up to my favorite place in these United States, Boone, NC, to shoot Sally and Eric's engagement pictures! Boone is so special because I graduated from Appalachian, and it has been in my heart ever since:-). Double bonus for it being the fall, with the beautiful leaves! I was so excited to have my first official shoot up there post college! It's nice going to a place that you know so well, but never get to use in a photo shoot. After a little trepidation about the weather, we decided to go for it. Sally and Eric were so much fun to work with and totally comfortable in front of the camera. They were also up for anything, which makes me happy! Here are some from that chilly, wet day!

This is one of my most favorite places on the parkway. I go almost every time I visit.









Can't take pictures in the fall without utilizing those leaves!

Oh, and did I mention it was also homecoming weekend? We stopped by the parade route!

PDA!

I scouted this graffiti wall the last time I was up there. Score.


This is definitely one of my favorites.

And this is how it ended.. a little wet, but totally worth it!


Sally and Eric, I can't wait for your wedding! Enjoy the pictures, and say hey to Yosef for me:-)

Bridal: Heather

So, I feel like these pictures have been sitting on my desktop forever, while I have been waiting for Heather and Walter's wedding day to pass so I could post them! Well, I shot their wedding yesterday, so now I can post her bridal session! Yay! Heather wanted to take pictures around old churches and also some train tracks... so we figured downtown was the best place for us to go! We shot until it was too dark to shoot, and I think in all we got four different churches and one set of train tracks. Not too shabby. Here are just a few from the shoot!




I love that the little mannequin in the window also has sunglasses!

One of my favorites!


They got married on the 24th!




My other favorite.


This was the one Heather chose to display at the reception.


Wedding pictures from Heather and Walter's big day will be coming in a few weeks!
