Here are a few of my favorite’s from Whitney’s recent engagement session with Rachael & Kevin. Whitney will be shooting their wedding this May! Enjoy
And we’re back! This was our first official shoot of 2012, and we couldn’t have started with a better couple! Stephanie & Ryan are newlyweds who tied the knot in Pennsylvania one week ago. They chose the Outer Banks for their honeymoon, and did they get a wonderful week of weather or what?! The approaching rain made the skies beautiful, and the warm weather was so welcomed. Congrats Stephanie & Ryan!

I know, I know, I’ve posted hardly any personal entries in months. How horrible! If you’re wondering what we’ve been up to this winter, we’ve been enjoying our downtime, enjoying the mild weather, but also not enjoying some pretty constant nausea and fatigue. Yes…
Surprise! Our family is getting bigger & it’s not another dogThis September, we will welcome a baby girl or boy (let the voting begin!) to our crazy awesome household. Chad and I couldn’t be more excited!
It’s crazy how life can change in what seems like the blink of an eye. This past December marked ten years since Chad and I met, which is also when I got pregnant. What an a way to celebrate the milestone, huh?!
So yes, this winter has been both boring and quite exhilarating. I am already feeling my new mommy instincts kick in, and I think my diligent research of religiously watching Teen Mom AND Teen Mom 2 (just can’t pick a favorite!) will really come in handy. So that’s it. Welcome to our journey. We will be sure to keep everyone updated!

We are currently enjoying a peaceful off-season here on the Outer Banks. Although I despise the cold weather, I do appreciate the quietness of an Outer Banks winter. I have time to relax, re-group, and re-focus for the upcoming new season. Each off-season, I make a list of things to accomplish to improve our art and our business. Whether or not everything gets crossed off is debatable (wink), but we always make great strides. Last off season, we made a commitment to really push ourselves in the aspect of non-traditional bride and groom portraits. It is no secret that during a wedding, we may only get 15 minutes with our couple to focus solely on them. This can be a lot of pressure to get a wide variety of creative portraits, so we wanted to come up with ways to “steal” extra time. Luckily for us, our couples are amazing and trust us to the nth degree when we try to cox them out of their reception for a few more creative shots. Whether we find elusive spot lights, slow our shutter, or mix in flash, these shots have ended up being some of my favorites ever. There is something so romantic about stealing away for a few minutes alone with your new spouse. Many couples say it is a much welcomed break from the crowd or simply a moment to take in and appreciate all that is happening on their wedding day. Below are a few of my personal favorites from 2011. I hope this inspires brides-to-be to consider giving your photographer a few extra moments. It can truly creative a memory you’ll never forget. Enjoy!

Yesterday was an awesome day. The Outer Banks Wedding Expo was in full force, and we had a great time meeting and talking with everyone! I am looking forward to this year’s weddings with wonderful new brides & grooms. For once I remembered that I am a photographer and actually took photos of our booth. Enjoy!
