Raleigh Pet Photographer: Brewser+Scarlett

Meet the little (and soon-to-be famous, I’m sure) dog models Brewser and Scarlett McLean, furry children of the wonderful Raleigh wedding planner, Erin McLean. :) Brewser, a Yorkie Poo, enjoys treats, chasing his sister around the yard, and not having to dress up for pictures. Scarlett, a Toy Poodle, likes wearing a dress, being spoiled, and staying indoors when it rains. Together they were very good on their photo shoot, posing in what they thought was a very sophisticated manner and trying not to make Erin run all over the place. ;)

Little Brewser, although impossibly tiny, is 8 years old and is a very sweet little guy about a third the size of my cat. Scarlett is a newer member of the McLean household and had a sad background story as a rescue from a puppy mill, but is now doing wonderfully and is the happiest little gal on the planet! They’re both very lucky to be well-loved by Erin and her husband. Part of the reason I love photographing pets so much is seeing how happy they all are. They all have great homes and are spoiled silly just like children… and it makes for a very happy photo shoot. :)

Blog Ch-Ch-Changes.

Last night we decided to change the blog and bit. I like simple designs. The website is simple, my album layouts are simple, and I felt like the blog was a bit overkill with the green background and kind of distracting watermark. So we went back to basics (white!), the OLD old school watermark (also white!) and developed a few storyboards for a different layout. :) The photographs will also be a little bit larger. Geoff and I were out and about last weekend practicing with some new photography toys and brushing up for wedding season next month. Pictures of Geoff courtesy of me, pictures of me courtesy of Geoff, my husband/assistant/2nd shooter/website creator/Donkey Kong partner. You can tell he’s been modeling for me for a long time by his Zoolander model face.

Let us know what you think about the new design!! :) We love it!

raleigh portrait photographer: derica+ian.

last month i held an end of summer contest to thank my blog and newsletter readers for referrals. the winner would receive a free session and 50 4×6 proofs. derica justice was the lucky winner! she wanted to use her session for new portraits of her and her hubby ian, who haven’t had pictures since their wedding a few years ago. i was super excited to work with derica as she is our fantastic invitation/program/thank you card designer for our wedding!! (pictures of our invitations and interview with derica coming soon).  we loved derica’s work and i thought it was cool that we got this chance to both sort of work with each other’s business. cool!

they wanted some fun and funky pictures downtown with their dog maggie, who was super adorable and well-behaved even though she is terrified to walk over grates, which i found adorable. :)

they wanted their picture by the NC state logo which was sandwiched between duke and unc…and while duke got the cold shoulder, ian decided to take care of unc by positioning this hand over their logo. ;)
