We're so excited about Bunnie & Daniel's wedding it's not even funny...They are getting married at the High Hampton Inn in Cashiers, North Carolina at the end of April. We're so excited because 1). Bunnie is a great friend who I've known for years, 2). We loooove the mountains and 3). From the looks of the The High Hampton website, this place is totally amazing and fits their personality perfectly....so beautiful, natural and rustic. I think the photographs will be amazing - amazing couple, amazing location - how could we go wrong??











We had a GREAT little test run with Bunnie and Daniel and are so thrilled with their engagement pics - hope yall like them too! Bunnie and Daniel both have BEAUTIFUL eyes. I knew when Bunnie asked us to do her wedding that I really wanted to draw out her eyes, which I've always been a bit jealous of!
See for yourself.....a few of our favs....

See, I wasn't kidding about those eyes!!
Love this of Daniel...soo handsome!

This might be my favorite.....

Bunnie is so cute..... Just in case you are wondering, Bunnie's real name is Alison but Bunnie has been known as Bunnie for as long as I can remember. Bunnie's mom's name is Florence but goes by Flossie.....love it!

This is Bunnie's favorite and maybe mine too....

That is bamboo in the background!

I think one of these should be her profile pic on FB

This one looks European to me......

so sweet



Can't wait til April 25!!

I did these pictures a while ago and never got around to blogging them because it was right before Christmas...This session was of my BFFE's 4 kids and their two cousins. After the session, I made this Christmas Card for Lindsay's family. I was thinking about this the other day because I want to start offering this service to all of my family clients for the 2009 holidays. The only way to do it is if everybody thinks ahead and books sessions nice and early....so think about that for this year. Any session(s) we do in 2009 before - oh, say October - can be made into a card for December - so keep that in mind.
Here is the card........ I think I've done one every year (even if it's way late - Lindsay and I are big time procrastinators when it comes to our personal lives) and all or almost all of their birth announcements . The other images are from the session - some in the card, some not, and some of the cousins. Enjoy!




















Lindsay is like the best mom model (and best friend ever!!!). (AND we have been friends since we were younger than her daughter is in this picture!)


Look at this little model!...we told him to keep a straight face.

But he couldn't hold it for long!

That what I call a fabulous outfit for pictures!


Maybe an all-time fav of Lindsay and one of her kids.......

cousins :)

All the cousins!


That is Pony - he is my favorite horse here at the farm. He was very suspicious of the humans with wings - he followed us around and would not take his eyes off the girls. He really thought they were real! It was funny....

Natalie and Dan seriously the best photographers in the world - well - east tennessee at least! I did get about 100 comments about our Christmas card as I sent it to about 100 people. She's taken our shots many many times and every time i absolutly LOVE the results.
