Family Fun Photo Challenge | I Heart Faces | Raleigh Cary Apex Family Portrait Photographer

4 Comments Family, I Heart Faces

We gathered for the Christmas holiday break in Florida this year.  It had been 2+ years since we were all together, and our size increased by three (or four?!)

This is my side of the family, in ENTIRETY!

I can honestly say that we all like to be around each other, and have a TON of FUN when we’re together! (That’s me on your left, yellow shirt, pointing the shutter remote)

My heart was so happy to be around all of the people that I love the most in the world.

Check out more ‘Family Fun’ over at I Heart Faces this week!

2011 *Best in Show* Winners! | Raleigh Cary Apex Triangle Portrait Family Photographer

0 Comment Best Of, special events

What a great week it was on my Facebook fan page.  The 2011 *Best in Show* contest was spectacular – it was anyone’s game up until the very finish, a true nail biter!

Without further ado, the first place winner of a 16×20 Gallery Wrapped Canvas goes to the newborn twin image:

2nd place winner of a 12×18 mounted print goes to:

This image is perfect because they were literally running on the heels of the 1st place image!

And the third place 12×18 mounted print goes to :

A little tidbit about this shot : I knew I wanted a facial veil shot from above, so after one of the group shots I asked this bride to pull the veil over her face and squat a bit (she was an AWESOME bride)!  I snapped three or four and off we went to the next image!  It was breezy and I was so happy to have caught the veil in motion.

Thank you to those who participated in the contest, couldn’t have done it without you!

UP next – behind the scenes of a bridal portrait shoot AND next weekend I will be shooting beauty shots at a local hair salon – super excited about it.  We will be designing large wall displays for her salon.  I will be sure to share my lighting set-up(s) and all the prep that is going into this big shoot, as well as tid-bits on the wall design once we get to that point.

Have a great weekend!

2011: A (Spectacular!) Year in Review | Raleigh Cary Apex Photographer

Wow.  I am somewhat speechless at this moment.  I just spent the last few hours viewing my image galleries from 2011, and reflecting upon every session that I was lucky enough to be a part of.  My heart is so full of thankfulness, and my eyes are full of disbelief that I met and photographed so many fun & fabulous people!  Seriously, someone pinch me already!

These images are only a very small representation of what I adore & what I am proud of this year.

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me to capture your precious smiles & memories.

Looking forward to seeing many of you again in 2012!

We had a busy, relaxing & wonderfully ‘unplugged’ week in Florida,  with lots of time playing and catching up with my entire family (have lots of big group photos to share soon).  Now we are unpacking and gearing up to return to the real world & all the routines that go with it.

I am working on my ‘best of 2011’ photos to share with you soon – what an amazing year 2011 was!

Thank you again to all of my amazing friends & wonderful clients … lots of great things in store for 2012!
