What to Wear | Spring 2012 | Raleigh Cary Family Portrait Photography

.

Happy first day of Spring!

It’s the beginning of family portrait season, which means lots of bright and fresh colors.  I especially like this grouping because it showcases an important idea for Mom – a belted jacket.  For women of any age or shape, it is important to showcase your gorgeous curves and emphasize your waist – very flattering in any photo.  A belted or well shaped jacket is the perfect way to achieve that.  Remember that the next time you are shopping!

Bloom Skin Spa Head Shots | Cary Raleigh Commercial Head Shot Photography

.

A few months ago a friend pleaded with me to book a facial with Amber at the Bloom Skin Spa.  She said you’d never have anything so good in your life, and she was right!  My facial was downright amazing.   Turns out this facial led to a friendship and a wonderful job opportunity for me!

I was hired to take images of this booming salon for web updates, as well as head shots of all of the employees.  Don’t yawn just yet!  I believe that every opportunity I have with a client is a unique and special one.  Head shots with me are FAR from boring, as I see it as my goal to capture your personality, even if my lens is only focused on you for a few minutes.

We had a ball at this head shot ‘party’ – an amazing and oh so beautiful group of women!

Enjoy the images …

What to comment you may be thinking?  Well, I am currently seeking a few choice words that describe my style of photography.  I would love it if you’d take a minute to jot down a few.  However, it is not required and you can simply say hello, or tell me what’s for dinner.  Whatever floats your boat!

The Small Print:

Winner is responsible for own transportation to and from the massage appointment.  Sorry out-of-staters 🙂

Bloom Skin Spa is a very busy salon (because they are so awesome!), so it is highly suggested the winner book the massage appointment asap, as it may take a few weeks to get on the schedule.  Patience is a virtue 🙂

IHF Photo Challenge | Beautiful B&W | Raleigh Cary Lifestyle Portrait Photography

When I saw the subject of this month’s contest, I knew I had to enter.  If you didn’t know (or couldn’t tell!), I love love black & white.  Every image on the walls in my room at this moment is black and white!

I decided not to agonize over which image, and literally pick the first one I came across while skimming my image folders.

Ahhh, my sweet niece that visited my last month.  LOVE her.

.

Head over to I Heart Faces to see lots of black & white beauties this month!

Cotillion Boys | Raleigh Cary Lifestyle Portrait Photography

Last night was the grand finale of the year of Cotillion for my son and his two buddies, the Cotillion ball.  I’ve seen my son in a tux one other time, and I’ll be honest, it gives me goose bumps and tears at the same time!  We did a session together, which I will most definitely write about.  For now, here’s one of the three of them that makes me smile a LOT!

Have a great Friday!
