north carolina

we recently visited NC and i was lucky enough to get to take pictures of an old friends beautiful children.

i also attended my cousins wedding, which was beautiful. and instead of doing the traditional birdseed and rice, they had everyone hold sparklers as they walked out. sparklers are naturally one of the most enjoyable things to photograph. way to make a wedding that much cooler. :)

brand new babies

i recently had the pleasure of photographing two different newborns from two different families, in the same day!!
