The Easter Bunny Rides Again...

Just a few more weeks until that wascally wabbit arrives!
Friday,April 3rd and Saturday, April 4th

We've had to change "bunny breeders" this year since my former breeder closed up shop - but never fear, we have a replacement! Do you know how hard it is to find a rabbit?????? And one who won't be too young or too old at the time we need to photograph him?? And not from a pet shop?? - We have to find a breeder who agrees to work with a young, gentle bunny for a few days before we pick it up so that it will be used to being touched and petted.

Well it's working out and now its time for me to decide on the Easter scene - ah that different, unique, background that goes with "every one's" clothing, that's also appropriate for infants and 'tweens and teens! I've been photographing some children for 16 years!!! They continue to return year after year for the annual ritual of the Bunny! And I am so thankful.....
So I'm off to the woods to cut out a tree top.............and you'll just have to wait to find out - :)

By the way, we are already scheduling appointments so call us soon! (919) 269-0888

Cotillion Galas

We are gearing up for our busy season - Spring! We'll be photographing on location at Raleigh and Cary Country Clubs. Cotillion students are usually middle school age and early high school age young men and ladies. To culminate the end of a year of learning various forms of proper etiquette and dance steps, they attend a Gala or Ball to show off their newly mastered steps. Young ladies wear long white dresses, with gloves, and the gentlemen wear traditional tuxedos. How delightful to see these young people so elegantly attired!! Since this isn't their usual mode of dress - we'd better capture it for posterity! :) This is my 10th year and I still love watching the show!

Twins!

I believe photographing children is a privilage. It is an honor for a client to select me to capture those once in a lifetime images of their children.

Imagine then, the great opportunity to capture twins! I love working with them and getting to know each individual personality - because they are different. No matter the age, their personalities are different. I've recently been photographing the 3 yr old girl and boy twins for a client -"obviously" the girl is going to be the chatty, gregarious, one who decides when and if she'll let me photograph her :) (it's a girl thing, right?) and the young man is a charmer with his precious smiles and laughs. Then we had their younger siblings a few weeks later - 2 boys! Even at 6 months they displayed their individual wants and needs and their resemblance to one parent or the other - but what fun they were! Double fun for all involved and as the Dad says " Twin Power - 2 sets, no regrets!"
