Summer Wildflower | Raleigh Portrait Photography

I love my work & the people I meet, yes I do. However, I am looking forward to some personal work (and catching up on my own photos) this summer as I take a ‘break’ from my job.
My super terrific neighbors knocked on my door to alert me to the rainbow over my house. Got me away from the dishes & outside with my camera in the end of day light. The rainbow photo is so-so, but the wildflowers inspired me :)

Table Rock Mountain NC | Raleigh Portrait Photographer

Hello again Monday! These summer weeks are flying by, we have been having way too much fun and even doing some vacationing. Still coming soon a few sessions to blog and a beautiful 10 square metal wall display …
This was my view yesterday, from the top of Table Rock Mountain in NC. All five of us + our two dogs braved a rocky and ‘moderate’ hike to the top & enjoyed this amazing (iPhone5) panorama.

And here are my three lovelies.  It looks like they are on the very edge, but trust me, they are not!

Have a great day!

Ten Years Old | Raleigh Portrait Photographer

My baby girl turns 10 today.

Sweet, kind, loving, thoughtful, voracious reader, drawer, lover of ballet, violin & grits.

Dug up this pic for the ten year mark.

Living in Hawaii paradise – kinda miss it.

Time flies, don’t blink too much!

Summer Charity Work | Raleigh Portrait Photographer

As you can tell, we’ve been quite busy with our personal agenda lately!

(thank you to my clients waiting on their blog posts)

Today my children & I seized an opportunity to help out a local organization, Myles of Great Hopes.  See their website www.mylesofgreathopes.org

We were asked to photograph several pieces of artwork, to be used for marketing and fundraising purposes.  Now, I say ‘we’, but really my children were asked.

This project is all about involving and enlightening the children, in a sustainable fashion.

Here’s my crew (from left to right):

Youngest in pink – art director

Oldest in blue – photographer

Son in gray – prop & gear assistant

His friend in blue – prop & gear assistant

Aren’t they impressive?!

It was in the mid 90’s today, and we worked for 3+ hours on this, no complaints from anyone!

Oldest says on way home , ” Mom, this is just how I want to spend my summer”

I’m darn proud I tell ya.

(She even found this location.  Soft, even light.  How many 14 year old do you know can ‘see the light’?)

.

Back soon :)
