Ruth Bibby

This is Ruth Bibby, my stylish friend. She is a senior (yay) and these are her portraits. :) We had the BEST time traipsing around downtown in the frigid wind, in physical contradiction to one another, asking for directions from an officer and being ignored, running across the streets despite the green lights, and eventually getting snowed out. When she asked me what she should wear, I said something to the effect of, 'Oh, cute? You got it, I'm sure.' I think I very vaguely suggested a gold dress I'd seen her wear before, but whatever I said, she planned the CUTEST outfits. Kudos to Ruth! Here are a *VERY* few of my favorite images from her session. I hope you enjoy them! Ruth is also pursuing photography and wanted a few shots with her Nikon. Haha. I told you we were a contradiction! *NOTE: I only shoot with the best ;)* I was going to say this is my favorite, but these are all my favorites! This one is one of my TOP favorites. A red wall. Oh. My. GAH!!!!!!!!!!! (stops. panting.) :) I like red walls. Mmhmm. That's what I'm talking about. I LOVE this - she's so amazing. We kept having the same ideas for shots and angles... I think she said she liked these ones. ;) You like? Click here to see more!

New and Exciting!

So.... I got this awesome package in the mail the other day:



WHOA! Says I. I'm so excited! I mean, John prepared my shipment AND he threw in a Tootsie Pop! Oh, and it's my new business cards. YES! But first, a brief look at the evolution of my business cards. Ugh. It's not always been cool.

I burned every copy of my first card, so here's Card #2 where I went with a vertical card:


Card #3: where I got all kinds of creative!


And now (drum roll) my uber cool newly branded business cards! There are three awesome designs but all three share the same front side:





So I hope you like them as much as I do! I'm in love! I have more awesome posts to show you, but for now I'm off to nap and then movie night with a pal!

Nathan J - Senior

Here are some of my favorite images from Nathan's senior shoot. We started at his house but then found so fabulous spots in downtown Apex and around our church.

Happy graduation - slightly early - Nathan!

Hewe's - Family

Meet the Hewes. I met Joanne at work and as we got to know each other it came about that I was a photographer. Seeing as how her daughter had recently married and her mother-in-law just moved in with them, Joanne jumped at the idea of family portraits.


Adorable Justin and Amy: When I walked in and saw Justin in an argyle sweater vest, I about flipped. Can you say perfect? (Kudos to Amy!) He proceeded to inform me that he was a die-hard redneck, and if we thought the vest wasn't quite redneck style, that he was definitely returning it. I think we convinced him to keep it. :)
Amy, Daniel, and Leanne. David and Joanne.

It was such a pleasure meeting the rest of your wonderful family and I know I had a great time! Thank you for allowing my to capture your family, Joanne! To see more of the images, click here.
