autumn architecture.

greg, one of my closest and dearest friends from college, came to visit me last weekend from baltimore! we had such a fantastic time. greg is a brilliant photographer and has an amazing eye for just about everything. he’s getting a website set up to showcase his amazing photography portfolio and i’ll be putting the link up in my blog as soon as it’s ready. until then, he came down to visit and we went out on a photo safari down blount street in raleigh to take photographs of the historic homes. most of them are landmarks now although there are a few that are still inhabited (wish i could afford one of them!). here are some of the photographs i snapped on my side. they’re all fairly dark and creepy because, well, the houses are fairly dark and creepy. especially on an overcast day in november:

ikea kittens.

so in between weddings and editing and various business deals and consults of the like, we’ve been attending birthday parties, thanksgiving parties, and having our friends in from out of state. it’s been a busy november so far.

and although i haven’t been having the time to update this daily, i feel like i need to fill people in on some of the more important personal events that happen… like getting your kitten a tent.

hey, most people write about their kids, we write about our kittens. of course, dolfy loves the tent and now frequently camps outside our bedroom door at night in style. it’s just about the cutest thing i’ve ever seen. and for 8 bucks, you can’t beat putting your cat up in a classy camoflauge cat tent instead of having him rip giant holes in your laundry hamper.

“holes? in your things? me?”

yes, you’re right, that’s just not any camoflauge… those are pictures of cats, bunnies, and birds. buckles was skepticle at first and still cautiously approaches it like something is going to jump out, but i caught him sleeping in it the other day, so it might be catching on. i really need to get some good pictures of buckles up on here, but i’ll have plenty of time for that once his favorite toy of all time comes out next month: the christmas tree. until then, sweet dreams ikea kittens everwhere.

raleigh wedding photographer in youngsville: erika+dustin

this gorgeous couple was married on october 31, 2009 at hill ridge farms in youngsville, nc. it was an absolutely beautiful day complete with yellow and red leaves, sun, and temperatures in the mid 70s. and i couldn’t have asked for a better couple to photograph! erika and dustin are very fun people and it was easy to capture their emotions on their wedding day. it was so much fun to watch the day unfold and witness the beautiful ceremony for two wonderful people. congratulations again, you two… you make a wonderful and adorable husband and wife!

as a side note, i didn’t repeat any photographs from the portfolio in my blog, so check out my favorites from erika and dustin’s day in my portfolio under weddings. :)
