The Dacko's

Robin, Doug, and Lesley are some of my most favorite people in the world. I met Lesley while we were going to Meredith and she has become like my sister...and her parents treat me like I'm one of their own. I went to Southern Pines this weekend to take pictures of them and their new beautiful dream home. We had the best time...like always. This shoot meant a lot to Lesley, because she loves pictures, and she didn't have a recent picture of her family...in fact...I think she was just a little girl the last time they had a portrait. She absolutely adores her mom and dad, and is blessed to have such a great relationship with them. I think the picture with the wreaths will make a great christmas card!

The Anderson's

The Anderson's are making Christmas and business cards with their family's picture on them, so they asked me to take some pictures this past Sunday. We have all had crazy schedules the past few weeks, so we literally had less than an hour to take these pictures... we actually finished up in less than 45 minutes...I think the turned out great....they are such a beautiful family!

Megan and CJ Engagement

Meet Megan and CJ. I have known Megan since we were little girls, and now, Amy and I are shooting their wedding in June! I can't believe how time flies. Megan is still as beautiful and as sweet as she always was. I loved meeting CJ. He was so easy to be around...I felt as though I had know him forever.

Anyway, I had such a great time with these guys last weekend when I drove out to Shelby for their engagement pictures. CJ is a graduate and former football player from Gardner Webb University, and Megan is still a graduate student there. Since this is where they met and ultimately were engaged, it was the perfect location for them. We also took a little hike to take some pictures by a near by river, but it had rained so much the water was a little too high...I think we still got a few great shots out there. After all, it was a gorgeous day, and the leaves hung on just a little longer for us! I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them...you can tell they absolutely adore each other. I had a reallllllly hard time choosing my favorites for the blog. Megan and CJ, I'm so happy for you guys and can't wait until your wedding!!!!

Jill and Daniel

Here are a few of my favorite shots from Jill and Daniel's wedding. Although the town they got married in was called 'Coats', we sure didn't need any! It was burning up...but the bride and groom stuck it out to get some great shots outside! The shot of them in the mirror is the first time they saw each other before the wedding. I wanted to give them their privacy but still get the shot at the same time...I really like how it turned out! I also enjoyed playing with their rings!
