:: Christmas 2008 ::

Jamie and I headed to California to celebrate Christmas with my family. We started off with a few days near Yosemite, and enjoyed the breathtaking snow, and hiking in the mountains.
We then headed for my parents, near Sonora. While there, we had crazy fun playing in the snow, hanging out with my siblings, playing rock band, sledding and a day in San Francisco.
It was a picture perfect Christmas...large snowflakes falling almost every day...a cozy cabin...plenty of laughter and fun!!!! Thanks for the fun guys!
Happy New Year!! May 2009 be a wonderful year for you - definitely exciting days ahead!

:: Off to Chicago land!!! ::

This past weekend Jamie and I were off to the very cold land of the North. After two days up there, I am GLAD to live in the slightly warmer South!!! Brrrrrr!!!

Friday night my brother and sister in-law hosted a dinner/"Tree trimming party". It was a load of fun!! Megan made a scrumptious meal, and I am always impressed by her great ideas and presentation for the food.


And of course, we took time for a few family shots of Chris, Megan and the adorable baby Sterling. I am biased, but I do think that Sterling is the most well behaved baby I have ever seen in my entire life.


Back home for a few days, editing like crazy, then off to Connecticut for the last wedding of the year! After Connecticut, Jamie and I head to Cali for Christmas!! Hooray for 10 day vacations!

:: Baby Sydney ::

This past weekend, Jamie and I went to meet Baby Sydney! She is quite adorable, and an active three month old. I had fun photographing her and her parents, and Jamie was sweet to keep all my gear in order.
Thanks for the fun Laura, Hans and Baby Sydney!

:: Aaron and Carlee ::

Jamie's good friends from college, Aaron and Carlee stopped in on Sunday. The agenda for the day was an engagement session downtown Raleigh, and fondue for dinner back at our place!

It was fun getting to know both of them better, and of course photographing them! I look forward to spending more time with them in the future...more fun dinners together and probably a few more photo shoots along the way!
Their wedding is next July, and Aaron asked Jamie to be a groomsman. I hear that one of my perks for photographing their wedding, is that I get to take as many pictures of Jamie as I want :) Don't worry Carlee, I will get some of you too!!! Seriously though, I am looking forward to the BIG DAY!!

:: Carrie and Jordan ::

The Fall days kept getting better and better in Chicago last weekend! Sunday we met up with Carrie and Jordan for their engagement shoot. The Arboretum was in full Fall color, and the sky was a perfect blue, with the most amazing clouds. All things combined, it was a great recipes for a fun photo shoot!
I am excited about photographing Carrie and Jordan's wedding next Spring!! Congrats you two!
