Happy Fourth of July!! To celebrate the holiday, we wanted to share a little peek at a shoot we did this summer in collaboration with our friend & gorgeous model & actress, [ Valeria Osipova ], with hair & makeup by Kristen of [ Carolina House Handmade ], & styling by us!

Stay tuned for more from our summer lifestyle shoot, including photos from a beautiful mountain swimming hole deep in the woods, an apple orchard with a fabulous mountain view, photos from our road trip, & more from the little cabin that was our adorable home-away-from-home during the trip! 

Hope everyone has a safe & happy holiday & keep an eye out for more photos to come soon! :)

october '09 // teasers

WOW has October ever been a busy month!! As many of you may know, we have been moving into a new home... just moving alone would have been enough to keep us busy for weeks, but we have also been traveling all over the state shooting tons of weddings & other photo shoots this month. We are working hard to get it all edited, but in the meantime we thought we'd share a few teasers to hold everyone over until we can get the full blog posts & online proofing sites posted.

Here's a peek into what we've been working on this month. Thanks for everyone's patience & hope you enjoy the photos! :)

Obviously, this blog post is a little overdue, but I wanted to share some of the photos from my sister's senior prom this past spring. Whether we're doing prom photos or senior portraits, senior sessions always wind up being some of the most fun to shoot! I had a great time hanging out in downtown Greensboro photographing Kristen, Jason, Jordan, & Bo looking all snazzy in their prom get-up. Thanks again for letting me be a part of your special day, guys!

snow day!

We have been working super non-stop hard lately & thought it was about time to take a day off & enjoy the snow. Back to work again tomorrow of course, but for today we let loose & had a blast.

Our BFF Joel came to visit & we had such a great time getting out & shooting for fun, which doesn't happen nearly enough.

This is kind of a conglomerate of images from the three of us... the individual photos are by me & Tres, & the photos of the two of us together are shot by Joel (all with some inContrast editing magic). Be sure & click the photos to make them bigger - there are a few that just can't be thoroughly appreciated until viewed full size. :)

Hope you guys enjoyed your snow day as much as we did!
