meet a super sweet and adorable family whose october wedding you can expect to see in a little over a month! :) kelsey and adam are not only getting ready to tie the knot, they also just welcomed their newborn baby emma into the world not too long ago. when we discussed doing an engagement session, we decided we would wait until emma was born and settled in before we took some newborn/family/engagement pictures. i had been following emma’s growing-up progress via kelsey’s facebook pictures to the point where i already felt like i knew her when i met her, but she’s so much more beautiful in person than in a photograph! what a cutie. :) and oh yeah, kelsey and adam are super cute too! we had such a great time. can’t wait for their wedding next month!

goooorgeous light and a goooorgeous couple. this was her mom’s backyard where i should totally set up a small studio and pay a monthly fee to mom in order to shoot because the light is just so stellar.

YAY! can’t wait to see you two next month!

last weekend was a great start to spring and a perfect day for an engagement portrait session!

i first met tamyra and darius last year as they were searching for their wedding photographer and i am so happy that they chose me because they are just awesome.  this couple is so so fun, vibrant, and hilarious. they had me laughing the whole time.  we hit it off at the consult and i was excited to get to hang out with them during this shoot. needless to say, they’re absolutely adorable and totally in love. i can’t wait to photograph their wedding!

we shot at peace college in raleigh where tamyra goes to school. it was beautiful…and i gotta hand it to the campus for having the greenest grass ever.
