Callie+Jeff // Raleigh Engagement Session

I feel like it’s been a while since we posted just a good ole engagement session up in here! A couple of our sessions have been rained out or postponed for various things, and we’ve been out of town a lot, so now’s a good chance to jump back into the portraits. We shot these ones of Callie and Jeff, two pretty rad people getting married in the spring, outside of the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh and down around Historic Oakwood. Those two adorable furry things with them are named Harper (black lab – 9) and Abbi (hound/beagle/dog? – almost a year). They were really well behaved and mostly cooperative and 100% cute (the dogs, not Callie and Jeff, although they were also well behaved, cooperative, and cute). Here we are lurking around the neighborhood while staying on the sidewalks so we can’t legally be held responsible for said lurking. Enjoy.

Nicolette+Tom // Pittsboro, NC Engagement Session

Nicolette and Tom love the countryside. And because we love Nicolette and Tom, we put on our bug spray and tick repellent and braved the high grass of a private farm in Pittsboro with only moderate bug anxiety. It was hot and humid and I did find a couple of ticks on me (bonus points: only reacted with mild shrieking and was able to get them off before they bit me), but these guys are so freaking adorable that it didn’t much matter. I’m convinced you could place Nicolette and Tom in front of a scene of terrible destruction and mayhem, and they’d make it look really good. Nicolette is currently living in Connecticut where she’s a songwriter and musician with her sisters, and Tom is currently stationed in NC with the Marine Corps. After they get married they plan on possibly moving to Nashville, eventually, where they’ll up the attractiveness level in Tennessee by 25,000 points.

Sara+Sam // Couple Session.

We were so honored to be asked by Sara and Sam, two amazing photographers behind McCormick and Moore Photography in Holly Springs, to shoot some promo shots for them as well as an updated couple session in and around their house. They have four cats so we said absolutely (we would’ve said yes anyway, but sometimes I need the blog to sound dramatic). We got to meet some of the cats (including, briefly, Lady Esmeralda von Poofington, the best cat name of all time), and we also got to teach Sara and Sam how to appropriately name the plagues and diseases that you’re spreading through the world in the board game Pandemic (it’s no fun unless you name them). They like a lot of games and a lot of good tv. Sara likes reading and making jewelry, and Sam likes cooking and the numbers 6 and 28. But when they’re not being awesome at home, they’re being awesome out taking pictures of families, pets, and kids at their photo business, and we couldn’t be happier to be asked to take pictures of these two photographers!
