Tyler & Rachael – Engaged!

Posted in Engagement, Engagements

On the day of Tyler and Rachael’s Engagement Shoot, it was cold and rainy.  We discussed rescheduling but since they live out of town it would have been too much of a hassle.  From a photography stand point, overcast is just another word for God’s big soft box of light. So we stuck with the original plan and shot on my family farm.  I’m so glad we did!  I loved working around the overcast on my farm (lately all my shoots are in the glory light) so it felt good to mix things up.  I loved, even more, working with this couple!  They are truly in love, and so at ease.  Wherever you may be in life, in love, out of love, hate love, loving love, this couple will make you believe in love.  Sappy, but true!!  I left the shoot skipping and daydreaming.

I hope you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed taking them, a big Congrats Tyler & Rachael! I can’t wait to shoot your beautiful wedding!

Mamaw Dixie – Video

Posted in Personal

I don’t even know where to begin.  My Mamaw is dying breed and that tears me up.  When I was a little girl, my cousins and I would slept over with her and Papaw, at bedtime she would read us the bible.  Don’t you know we all fell asleep faster than a dog can lick.  You could say it was all the ‘begots and thous’ that did us in, but I’d like to say it was her sweet soothing voice.  Sometimes she’d start singing too.  Sometimes I’d pretend to be asleep, when she closed the book and walked off, she’d always be whistling.  If we were ever sick, we’d call Mamaw.  She would pray for us and rub our chest if she was there in person.  She has faith, like they say in the bible, like a child.  I know that story because of her.

Mamaw turned the big 8-0 this past month.  My aunt and family threw her a big surprise birthday party.  I knew it was just the deadline I needed to do what I always said I wanted to do.  Shoot a video of my Mamaw; telling stories, playin guitar, just capture her spirit the best I could.  I think I put it off for so long because it brought tears to my eyes just thinking about starting it.   But if I never got around to it, I would forever regret it when the opportunity to do so was gone.  So I spent a few days with her, following her around.  I threw together this piece in a week, start to finish.  To me this will never be good enough, there are so many moments with my Mamaw that collectively build her character.  Just to choose a few days of moments to present her to you, is bothersome to me.  I want to plea, ‘do you get it? do you get how special she is?’.   Oh, but maybe it’s just me.  Maybe that’s just it.  A spirit so beautiful as hers, isn’t meant to be perfectly captured by secondhand experience.  Moments are beautiful, they evoke.  But Mamaw is more than a moment. She’s a lifetime of moments, that myself and my cousins, are the fortunate ones to have shared.  This video is just a glimpse…and by gollie this video is not finished!  I can’t put an end to it, not yet.

Jade + Adam : Bald Head Island, NC

Posted in Weddings

Hi Y’all!

So the weatherman called for snow this morning, not only snow, but 4+ inches of snow. Guess what?  Aint no snow in sight!  I am bummed! I was already fantasizing about sledding all day with my little girl on the farm.  So, instead I thought about finally blogging a Wedding that I’ve had under my belt for a while, that was shot on an ISLAND, in the sun and warmth at the end of summer.  I hope this blog warms up your little cold toes, sure did mine!

This beautiful wedding was held on the amazing island of Bald Head, NC.  I posted a previous post about the place, you can read it all here.  This wedding is especially close to me, because it is my best friend’s wedding!  (Now hold your horses, I know what you’re thinking…no I didn’t shoot the ceremony bc I was in it. But don’t you know I shot everything else because it was my best friend and she was absolutely stunning, how COULD I not?!) Jade and I met in 7th grade at Cheerleading tryouts.  It was best friends at first sight. Her twin sister (also my best friend, it’s like a trio) and herself had this long ponytail just like I did, and when we started talking we instantly bonded over cheering and the outdoors.  We all made the team, and were attached at the hip every since.  For years we were cheering side by side, diggin up worms and fishin on the farm, wading thru the creek, occasionally talking about boys;)and flipping around in the yard or trampoline.  When we occasionally talked about boys, of course we talked about marriage. Who would get married first, what he would be like, who would have the first baby…I think we were all in agreement that I would probably end up married first. But sure enough Jade was the first to get married.  Guess you never really can plan life, or even guess it.  I was honored to be a bridesmaid in Jade’s wedding, and was quite the sap when it came to watching it all unfold.  To finally see that moment come to life for her, of walking down the aisle, oh man! So sweet. To see what the dress looked like, and most of all who her husband was, such a pivotal moment in friendship!  I can gladly say that I love Adam.  He is perfect for Jade, and treats her like a queen!  Happy tears all around.

So without further ado, I present to you, Jade and Adam’s Bald Head Island, NC Wedding! Minus the ceremony;)
