land's florist & gifts part 2!

This weekend I had the opportunity to do a second shoot for Land's Florist & Gifts in Cary, NC. This shoot was all about the fantastic wedding work that Land's does. When I arrived Saturday morning, Tom Land had two of the most beautiful bouquets I had ever seen prepared for me! Everywhere I went people would comment on the gorgeous flowers I was carrying with me, and I would smile and let them know where I had picked them up. Later that day, when I had the chance to meet up with my business partner Jennifer, she said, "Can I put these pictures up at my house and pretend this was MY wedding bouquet?!" We laughed, and continued on with the shoot, but later we both had to comment on how excited we were to get to keep these lovely bouquets at our own homes. 

The Neilson Family

At the end of today's shoot, when we told Shelley how much fun we had with her and her family she responded with, "Ya'll need to get out more!" That sense of humor, combined with great ideas, adventurous spirit and a happy golden lab named Hailey was what made this shoot so much fun. This family tried everything we put out for them today...from climbing trees, to giving piggy back rides, and even hugging each other! They were game for anything and they challenged us with more ideas of their own. The Neilson's are a great family to be around, and we thoroughly enjoyed our day at the park with them!

Favorites

Jen's brother in-law, Steve Wilson (a computer wizard), was kind enough to help us post an online gallery of a few of our favorites photos from the first 6-months we have been in business. It is really fun to pick through them all and remember all the great times we've have with the individuals, families, and couples we've worked with. The hardest part was narrowing it down to just a few...we have such great memories attached to each shoot!

Check out the gallery to view some of the good times we've had in the past year!

Motherhood is Beautiful!

One of our goals for 2008 is to photograph more pregnancies! Our first couple of shoots included some of the most gorgeous moms-to-be that you could imagine. We were so touched by the experience, that we just cannot wait until the next one. There is just nothing more beautiful that a woman who embraces the joy of her pregnancy by loving her body and the child within.
