Corinne and Anna

About a month ago, I had the distinct pleasure of having Corinne and Anna in front of my camera again. Oh, how the camera has missed them! Seriously, these two are incredibly gorgeous. I hope your Dad has a proper intimidation method in place for when you are old enough to date, girls, because watch out world! Enjoy this eye candy today...and leave a comment letting me know you stopped by!




The ever animated Anna...




And the gorgeous Corinne...














A little competition?!









Not only are Corinne and Anna beautiful, and sweet with hearts of gold, they are also complete comedians! Below are a few of our outtakes. Now you know how much fun this shoot was!

It's the small things...

We ordered pizza. It was my craving. He didn't necessarily want pizza, but lovingly gave in because he knows I love it...and I wouldn't have stopped nagging until I had it! Over some random George Clooney movie and cranberry gingerale we had pizza. Greasy, cheesy pepperoni pizza. It was delicious. So delicious, in fact, that there were only two pieces left over. They went into the fridge and we went to bed.

I awoke thinking about pizza, but knowing that the pizza was probably boxed up and at Jay's office for lunch. Good for him...taking his lunch to work. I got out of bed, played with Scarlett and pulled out a box of cereal. I opened the fridge for the milk and the pizza box was still there. Hmm...two pieces of pizza, glorious pizza, waiting for me. You see, Jay knows just how much I love pizza for breakfast. And while I'm sure he would have rather had that for lunch than the sandwich he made himself, he knows just how much I love pizza for breakfast.

After an excited squeal, the pizza quickly made its way from plate to microwave to my belly. I was one satisfied wife...who has one awesome husband. You see, its so easy to get caught up in the everyday grind and forget about the small things that matter. And that day, the pizza for breakfast mattered. Ah, the small things that are suddenly so large...

Laura & Steve...Engaged!

Laura and Steve are very dear friends to Jay and me. In fact, they introduced us...good match, huh?! They are getting married on 4-30-2011 and I cannot tell you how excited we are for them!

We met down in Charleston for their engagement shoot, and we couldn't have asked for better weather! We headed out to the beach for sunrise and the light was oh so yummy! Hope you enjoy...









After a quick wardrobe change, we headed Downtown for some more goodness.

Killer Shoes!





RAWR :-)


I'll end with this little gem...

Congratulations to two of the best friends ever. Much love to you both, today and always!

Wes and Jenn...Married!

Let me start this post by saying that I have been a total blog slacker lately! Seems that life has just gotten in the way. But rest assured that I have some lovely pics to share with you soon!

On a beautiful and sunny day, Wes and Jenn tied the knot in Charleston, SC. It was a fabulous ceremony and a super fun party. It was very evident throughout the day that these two belong together, and I am honored to call them friends AND family. Thank you, Wesser and JPatt for letting me share you wonderful day with you! Enjoy...





Thanks to my assistant Angela for this next shot...

Her bouquet was GORGEOUS!

A few details...








Thanks to Angela for this next shot. No place for the bouquet? No problem. Now that's what I call talented :-)

I'll end with my favorite shot of the day. LOVE the vintage feel...

Many years of happiness to you guys. We can't wait to see you soon!

Snow Day!!!

Two weekends ago, Charlotte was a winter wonderland. Well, not exactly. It was more like a sheet of ice with a little snow on top, but hey, we don't see much of the white stuff in these parts, so we'll take what we can get!

I absolutely love the snow. I like to sit inside with a mug of hot chocolate and gaze out the windows at its beauty after I've been outside playing with the other member of my family that loves it more than the rest. Yes, it's no secret that Scarlett LOVES the snow. So much so that we had to chase her down in the yard and leash her to get her to come inside! She truly had a blast learning how to catch snowballs. Got pretty good at it too! Following are a few pictures of her snow day activities.


Eating a snowball


Look, guys! I can catch them now!


Now I'm just showing off my mad airborn skills!



What was that? You'd like a close up of the action? OK!


The next four pictures are a series of her process of catching the snowballs. Notice that she never takes her eyes off the prize!
