It’s been a couple of whirlwind days…here we go
- we are so grateful for those who came out and helped us move on Thursday….it was such a blessing to us. They moved everything from our storage which we were so suprised. We are so blessed by people who offer to help us do things in our new home…install shelves, refinish furniture, put together Micah’s bed which you need a nuculear physisit degree to do. So thank you MCBC family and my friends who are just so wonderful. You have truly helped us in ways you have no idea.
- Micah turned 9 yesterday. I can’t believe my baby boy (yes he’s my baby boy) is 9..9!!!! Micah you are truly a joy to us…you have brought so much joy and laughter into our lives. I remember first finding out I was pregnant with you and I never ever imagined that being your mom would be the experience you have given me. I would never have imagined that some little boy would capture my heart like you have. You have such a sweet sweet spirit. You are a joy to those who you come in contact with, from the waitress at the IHOP to your teachers…to your family. I am continually amazed at how God has gifted you. You are so very coordinated…(I have no ideas where you got that from) You have a amazing memory, like your dad, you have a thrist for knowledge and I love that when I purchase gifts for you…they mostly come from the education store becuase you love it. It makes this mommy so happy. I am so proud of you…I am proud of how well you do in school, how well you know about the things of the Lord, of your deep faith, of your love for your friends, and how much you love your family. The one thing that I pray for you this personal new year….is that you learn to love and appreciate your sister more. She loves you and I know you love her….but I hope that you are more tolerant this year
So Micah, keep thriving for more, keep smiling, keep pushing forward, keep being sweet, keep obeying, keep your kind heart. All these things make you YOU! And I am so proud to and thankful to be your mom! Happy Birthday! (so normally I do a session and would have it, but this year we haven’t gotten to it due to the snow)
- I love winter…but I really don’t like wet cold rain….I have sessions to reschedule, landscaping to do etc…happy snow to my family who is up in the NoVA area and they are getting 30″ WOW!
- I’ve been working with Gigi Creations and therefore we are offering a promo….who doesn’t love a promo

Moving round 1 is happening today! It is never fun to move, and it seems that there is always something, and this move has not been without it’s issues…mainly the weather. It has been snowy and rainy and makes it very hard to gather volunteers and people to help. We hope to move all our boxes from the storage facility today and then the rest of the big stuff tomorrow.
Thankfully it seems that the weather event for this weekend is going to be more like rain and so that means that the Daddy / Daughter dance scheduled and Micah’s 9th birthday party will still take place
Questions and Answer time again:
What is my favorite lens and what aperture do I shoot with? Well I almost always have the 85L (which is a prime lens) on my camera…it has the widest aperture that Canon has to offer. I usually shoot half way. You can see the lens here
What are your favorite blogs? I use to stalk blogs all the time, but I have to say, I don’t have as much time as I use to. But here are a few that I love to read over and over. Hey Girl, Nice Shot This isn’t a blog, but I’m on here quite a bit National Association of Professional Child Photographers if you are child photographer, I really would encourage you to join this group… and Laura Novak’s blog Strategy Avenue
How do you find locations? I go and hunt for them. I’ll put the kids in the car and we will drive around. I look for places that are not over used (I really don’t like shooting at the “local gardens” ) I love to find places that you would never think about using….like this one below…when I took this senior to this location I could see in her mom’s face “really?” but then they saw the pictures and could see how much fun this location was.
What is my favorite age to shoot? Oh goodness…I love them all, but I have to say I really enjoy toddlers…and do you know it’s the age I photograph the least…but I love their energy and the fact that you can never plan for the session…you just have to roll with it and the images that you can get can be fantastic. Love it! And because I love toddlers so much…if you have a child(ren) between the ages of 2-4 and want to book as session, I’ll will give you a $50 print credit. So email me.
Okay that’s it for today…keep sending your questions and I’ll keep posting them. I’m off to try to move some..please pray for us!
We have been blasted with snow. I know for some of my friends in the north, that isn’t a big deal, but for us in the south it is. We’ve had snow and now freezing rain and it’s suppose to snow again this weekend. It’s been fun for my kids and we have enjoyed lots of family time, but I have to say, when you are trying to move and have kids birthday parties and such it’s not very fun.
We haven’t left the house since Friday and I’m going a bit stir crazy!
To update you on some business stuff:
Booking: I am now booking March and April. I have some wonderful new collections and am starting a new policy that if you pay for a collection upfront, I will wave your session fee. (that’s a savings of $175) whoo hoo!
Spring Mini’s: They will be held in March…I’ll have more info on that. As usual, they will be offered to my current clients first.
Looking for a Sales Person: If you have experience in direct sales, love to work with different clients, are friendly and hip and are interested in a part time job, please let me know. You will need to be able to work weekends and evenings….mostly in Raleigh/Durham
Beach Sessions: I’ve already gotten several inquires about my beach sessions. I will be holding 4 weekends of beach sessions this year. June, July, August & September Info on these sessions will come out the beginning of March.
Lots of other fun things I am working on….can’t wait to share in the weeks to come.
Here are some snow pictures…

Thanks so much for making this photographer’s job very easy. Again, if you want information about purchasing one of these adorable outfits check out Gigi Creations
