I've known Emily for a few years now and was thrilled when she asked me to be her photographer! I was even more thrilled when she told me she planned to be married in Asheville (I have a crush on that city).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had the wonderful pleasure of being there to help her as she planned her wedding (I was more moral support, she had it handled) and aid her where I could. We had a blast last October when we went to Asheville for her bridal portraits (that'll be the next post) and we had a blast a few weeks ago when all her planning came to fruition for her spectacular wedding! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I worked this wedding on my own and wow was I winded by the end of the night. I enjoyed every second of it because these people are some of the best people. They and their friends and family were all so happy and had such a good time, it made the time fly by. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mike and Emily were blessed with a beautiful sunny day for a wedding with not a cloud in the sky. Some photographers might cringe when say that (I know I did when I saw it) but in the end the day was spectacular and I managed to get a few good photos as well. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Their ceremony was short and sweet. The majority of my time was spent capturing candid photos of the bride and groom and their guests. Here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!</div>

A few months ago in a cute little town called Bailey, one of the best people I know got married. I've known Jeremy since college and he's one of the few I've tried to stay in contact with. I was very excited when I heard that he'd met someone and gotten engaged and I was even more excited when they told me they'd like me to be involved in their wedding. I was so happy to meet his wife, Kelsey and to be a part of their big day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day was bright and beautiful. The kind of day any bride would wish for. Everyone was a bundle a nervous excitement and no one could stop smiling. I was able to shoot this wedding on my own so I was running double duty between Kelsey getting ready and Jeremy orchestrating the set up while managing to tie his tie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kelsey was so calm and collected. She was such a beautiful bride. Her dress was so lovely with its simple elegance. Completely covered in delicate lace and accented by a lovely blue, crystal encrusted belt. It was also so nice to meet their families who were all so loving and friendly. </div>

Their wedding was small and intimate with mostly family. The emphasis was on what mattered to them most, being married and that was so wonderful. </div>

Since I'm still honing my skill on the wee ones I did these photos for my friend as a gift. I felt like using his new son as a guinea pig was payment enough. </div>

I absolutely love it when I get repeat family photo sessions! About two years ago Sydnee's parents contacted me to take photos of their darling daughter as she turned 1. I was so happy to receive an email this year asking for another photoshoot to commemorate Sydnee turning 3! My how she's changed!!</div>

This year we headed to one of my favorite locations, the Historic Yates Mill Pond park. Unfortunately the Mill was actually closed for maintenance on the dam but we managed to enjoy the greenways and the boardwalk just fine. </div>

I learned a valuable lesson that day though. Lots of heat and whole bunch of sun can be overwhelming for little kids. Poor Miss Sydnee wasn't feeling so great at the end of our shoot. </div>

I recently had the chance to to hang out again with this adorable little lady named Regan, I mean "Princess Anna," and her wonderful parents.<br />
<br /></div>

It took a while for Regan to warm-up to me again but, in all fairness, she had warned her mother she would probably be "very shy" during the photo shoot. If only I had watched Frozen before the shoot, I think we would have been best friends from the start!</div>

Even though she was "Princess Anna," that didn't stop her from playing with the frogs in the mud, fishing with a stick and poking dead worms with her wand.</div>

Welcome back to Photo Friday! Maybe I'll actually keep it going this time! No promises. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The photo friday word for this week was "landscapes". It just so happens that at the end of last year I was in Breckenridge for a class during the beginning of October. This class was for stream restoration and was filled with mostly guys. I was one of 4 women registered and by the second day one of 3 in attendance. I was also one of the few people that had been to Breckenridge in the past and I knew about all the amazing hiking to be had in that great town. So by the end of the first week I had no less than 4 guys who were eager to prove they could hike in the Rockies. I almost took them up Quandary Peak (a 14er) but we'd just gotten a few inches of snow and I knew Quandary would be too dangerous and too long but most of all way way too cold. It was pretty easy to convince the guys to abandon the idea of summating their first (and maybe only) 14er when I showed them a picture from the Mohawk Lakes that I'd taken 3 years ago. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That beautiful lake sealed the deal and on Sunday morning the 5 of us set out to Mohawk Lakes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was really fun being the one who knew what was coming next and knowing how amazed they'd all be. There's really nothing like an alpine lake. To see a body of water that high up and surrounded by a bowl of mountains...it's breathtaking. Literally and figuratively. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After reaching the lower Mohawk Lake (pictured above) we did what any rational person would do...we abandoned the trail and scaled the mountain in search of the upper lake. In hindsight that wasn't the best idea but it did bring us to this lake. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.oakcityphotographync.com/photos/i-kk7C7Sh/0/L/i-kk7C7Sh-L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.oakcityphotographync.com/photos/i-kk7C7Sh/0/L/i-kk7C7Sh-L.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is not what the map considered the upper lake. It was actually higher than what is known as the upper lake. This body of water was completely frozen and oh my god was it cold up there. There's something about that picture that speaks to my soul though. The scale of things....like how those mountain tops look to be only a couple hundred feet away but were almost a mile. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Breckenridge. That little town packs such a big punch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Friday!</div>

Back in November I was happy to be able to take the maternity/family photos of our friends Adam and Marianne. A few years back we were fortunate to take their first maternity photos when they were expecting Baby Bee (Max) and I'm so glad they thought of us again when expecting Baby Bear (Hayden). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been holding out on this blog post because Hayden surprised us a couple weeks early and I wanted to get the.."after" photo but I just can't wait any longer. I'll just have to post the "after" photos in a whole separate blog post. It's the cross I bear. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Onto the photos!</div>

Just when it started getting really cold it seems everyone wanted to go ahead and get their family photos in. Luckily, I can bundle up but lord I feel bad for my subject sometimes. On a brisk Saturday morning, I met my day job boss at one of my favorite photo locations, Yates Mill Pond. It turns out that on that particular Saturday it was about 12 other photographers' favorite photo location too! </div>

I had to make these two cuties sit and wait while another group got out of their shot behind them. Luckily, they were rather accommodating. It may have helped that their reward was Smarties. </div>

I love it when I get to take people's photos year after year. I get to see how they've changed, how their kids have grown or in this case, how their dogs have grown! Last year about this time I met Anne, Bob, Storm and Hawk for the first time. We chatted about their recent relocation from Hawaii and about their pups because I was flabbergasted by these guys. Storm was a full grown long haired German Shepherd at 140 pounds and Hawk a mere puppy at 90 lbs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well...Hawk grew up...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's on the left. Big love bugs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So with Storm getting older, Hawk has grown a little protective over who pets him; he doesn't seem to like it when strangers do. I thought it was so sweet when he didn't mind me petting Storm. I think he remembers me! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this years photoshoot we visited the Duke Gardens. It was such a nice day that Sunday that the rest of Durham was there as well. Everyplace we stopped to take photos we either had to wait for someone to leave or someone moved in right after us. At one point we were being trailed by a bride and her entourage.</div>

You always hear people say, "Those two are perfect for each other." Well, it couldn't be more true with these two. It takes a special girl to handle my brother-in-law, Micah. Cali sure has her hands full with this one! She doesn't seem to mind...</div>

Micah grew up on the farm and spends a lot of time there with his family. What better place to propose to Cali? So in November among the cows, hay, mud and, yes, rain (does that mean twice the good luck?) Micah asked Cali to join his family. </div>

Jess and I were thrilled to witness the recent union of two great people, Kathleen and Drew. We've enjoyed getting to know these two as they took the steps into a life together. They were fantastic at their engagement session and equally awesome for their wedding; I've never met a pair so calm and collected. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kathleen was the epitome of classic Hollywood elegance in her daringly tall heels and her classic dress. </div>

And I have to say, out of all the weddings I've been to or had the pleasure of working, this wedding party and family were the easiest to organize and most cooperative! They were also very tough. It was <b style="text-decoration: underline;">not</b> warm by this lake. </div>

For my second installment of holiday photos I present to you something completely different: Pet Photography!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weekends ago, the day following an epic wedding (teasers coming soon), I enjoyed meeting Kara and her pup, Pipper. It was such a nice photoshoot to have after such a hectic day. We simply took a stroll along the Tobacco Trail and snapped a few photos when we came upon something neat. </div>

A few weekends ago my husband and I had the pleasure of visiting our friends in Lynchburg, VA where a few escaped NC State alums are hiding. I met Laurissa at my first engineering internship at Hazen and Sawyer and we've been friends since. She had already graduated from Environmental Engineering and was a great example for a rising female engineer. There's not a whole lot of us after all! Since I started SOR, I've been capturing her family as it's grown, it's been so much fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's why I was thrilled when she asked us to visit this year and to bring my camera! This was the first chance to snag some photos of her newest son, Everett, and I couldn't wait. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took a drive up the blue ridge parkway for about an hour and found some beautiful colors. I do love fall!</div>

Happy Friday!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a hell of an October for me so far. I found myself in Breckenridge Colorado at the beginning of the month for a 2 week long class on streams. Miraculously, I broke away the Sunday before last and hiked up to see some old mining relics and a couple lakes called the Mohawk Lakes. If you're ever in Breck, when there's not 5 feet of snow, I'd highly recommend that hike. It's absolutely beautiful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The trail it's pretty direct and before you know it you're out of the thick trees and on the rocks. That's when you start seeing these old tiny cabins. The first one you come to has no roof and a fallen tree has collapsed most of it. But if you keep going you find this gem right next to some glorious falls. I can only imagine how lonely a night would be up on the mountain alone in this cabin with nothing but the falls to listen to. </div>

Last Saturday Ashley said those solemn vows and became Mrs. Ashley Mitchell. We all applauded as the new couple walked hand in hand back down the aisle and we spent the rest of the evening celebrating their blessed union. Everything was lovely and I'm very excited to see the photos her photographers produce. I came there as a friend and not a photographer, so as odd as it felt, I left my camera at home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a great time and stayed until they turned on the lights and ushered us out. And now because their day has come and gone, I can finally, with great pleasure, do a full blog post of Ashley's bridal portraits! I'm friggin giddy. I've wanted to show these off for weeks now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No more yammering, onto the photos!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The State Club on NC Sate's Centennial Campus has a huge grand ballroom with very shiny marble floors. They complimented Ashley's beautiful white dress wonderfully. </div>

The weekend before last I took a short road trip with a friend to the north. Since I was heading all the way to NY and it's quite the drive, I convinced my friend to tag along for half the trip and gave her a reason to visit friends in DC. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was pretty excited about my layover in DC. I hadn't visited the city since I was a little girl. The bits and pieces I remember about that trip involved mostly Star Trek and matching family shirts. Yes...we were that family. Considering my incredible improvement in photography equipment since that time (I had no camera) I decided to take advantage of my time in DC and photograph some of my favorite monuments. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after an awesome night of local brew-pubs, subway systems and air mattress sleeping, I awoke early to beat all the tourists. I had no idea that by doing so I'd run right into the prime "run around the monuments" time. It was an event for sure. I managed to capture several people sweating in running shorts, oh well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of my favorites from my early morning saunter around DC. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://oak.smugmug.com/Other/Blog/i-4w6PdMr/0/X2/IMG_9911-X2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://oak.smugmug.com/Other/Blog/i-4w6PdMr/0/X2/IMG_9911-X2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Lincoln Memorial has always been one of my favorites. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Washington Monument reflected in the Vietnam War Monument. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never appreciated these monuments when I was a kid. But being out there alone on a cool Saturday morning with just my thoughts and my camera to keep me company...they meant a whole lot more. I'm very glad that we have them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now's the time to think about family photos for holidays cards! This week alone I booked 3 new photoshoots. Stay tuned for lots of awesome smiling faces!</div>

You know the ride at Disney World, "It's a Small World"? Yeah I hate that ride too but the saying can't be more true. Somehow two very separate parts of my life collided when my former roommate, Will Mitchell, met a girl who I went to high school with but never really knew. Even when I first met Ashley through Will, it never really clicked. But then at their engagement party, I got to talking with one of her bridesmaids and found out that SHE had gone to school with me too! She and Ashley were in the class of 02 at Green Hope High School, I was the class of 03. Then, like a wave of consciousness, I remembered Ashley! It's a small friggin world. (I promptly went home and looked her up in my year books). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was never sure who Will would end up with. I'd known him for years, living with us in two different houses, working at several different jobs and moving to three different states; he was a nomad and everyone knew it. Somehow North Carolina claimed him and as luck would have it, he met Ashley. She's already polished off a few of his rough edges and perhaps he has scuffed up a few of hers. They balance each other out wonderfully and make a beautiful team. Who could ask for more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Onto the point...I'm slightly in love with weddings. Can you tell? I love being a part of them. I love seeing a bride all done up and all a flutter with excitement. I love seeing a groom nervous as hell but deliriously happy. I love the opulence of a gorgeous dress. Which is why when my friends are getting married and I hear they're not getting bridal portraits from their photographer, I ask if they'd mind modeling their dress for me for my portfolio. It gives me a chance to add pictures to my website and to practice my craft. It gives them a chance to wear that gorgeous dress on a day filled with much less stress and truly enjoy it. And it's downright fun! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of my friends haven't gone for it and that's too bad but luckily it didn't take much convincing to get Ashley to agree to a free bridal portrait session. She left the venue option up to me and I choose The State Club on NC State's centennial campus. It's a gorgeous building that lent itself very well to a bridal portrait session. This building is complete with a massive room with polished marble floors, a grand piano, a grand staircase, lovely leather chairs and sofas, a massive chandelier and floor to ceiling windows. Perfect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish I could show you all of the gorgeous photos we captured that day but I don't want to ruin the surprise for Ashley's guests and most of all, Will. Ashley and I did agree on one photo that I could publish today. A lovely silhouette with just a hint of things to come. </div>

It really is a testament to how far phone cameras have come when the picture I'm using for this challenge doesn't suck. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I remember the days when not everyone had a phone capable of taking pictures. I remember the commercials promoting those "picture phones". They would produce the most rudimentary, grainy, blurry but to us at the time, amazing photos. Nowadays my cell phone takes better pictures than my first digital camera. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the story behind this picture is a tale of a harrowing escape from doom. Also known as, my race against an approaching storm on my bicycle. Every Wednesday (or so) I ride with a group called Ol Mello Velo. We meet up in Apex and usually ride out into Chatham County, Morrisville, etc. The route on this day was directly in the course of an approaching thunderstorm. We all decided collectively and independently that we'd ride as far as we could and turn around when the storm got too close. All seemed fine in the beginning but then the storm picked up pace and all of a sudden it was on top of us. Some of us took a loop home, I turned around and bolted back to my car. That was the fastest pace I've ever held on my own (I might have had a trail wind). I had been at my car with my bike loaded no longer than a minute before the big raindrops started and then the heavens opened up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This picture was taken where I turned around. You can see the wall of approaching clouds so clearly. It was very ominous. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Welcome back to weekly Photo Fridays!! It's been a while...I was preoccupied with passing the Professional Engineering exam and then passing it again because I didn't pass it the first time (whoops). But now I'm less occupied and getting the photography itch (I hear there's no cure). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll start off easy with a photo I took almost a year ago. The Photo Friday challenge word was "After Dark" which inspired me to do the editing on this photo that you see. This pathway was at the top of the Craggy Gardens hiking trail. The trees are tons and tons of Mountain Laurel (or Rhododendron, I never can tell the difference if they're not blooming). The way the path whines and curves through the Laurel makes for a very ethereal/creepy scene. I imagine when these trees are blooming this path would be much more jovial than sinister. </div>

It's good to be back. I hope to post these Friday photos regularly now. Thanks for reading!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever had a "heart-dog"? Or cat, bird or any other pet (although I think cats and dogs have an easier time attaching to our souls). They're the dog that melts your soul and becomes your heartbeat so when they pass, your soul aches and your heart slows. The dog you'll think of for the rest of your life and you'll always say "Ah, she was a good dog; the best dog". I'm not Bill but if I had to guess, I'd say Krissy is his heart-dog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.oakcityphotographync.com/Other/Blog/i-qj85kgX/0/L/Hamilton14-L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://www.oakcityphotographync.com/Other/Blog/i-qj85kgX/0/L/Hamilton14-L.jpg" width="425" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This dog has more nicknames than I can keep track of. The ones I remember are, Krissy, Krissy-Lou and Lou-Dog. I'm pretty sure there's many more. That's what you get when you're owner is this guy:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bill got Krissy while he was still in school at NC State and she's been his loyal companion since. She's the only dog I know that jumped from level ground and caught a bird mid flight because it was taunting her. If you get her really happy, she'll grin her pearly whites at you. And when you can't find her in the house, it's because she's curled up in Bill or Mish's laundry basket. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sad to say that recently she was diagnosed with heart failure. But in true Krissy fashion you'd never guess by her demeanor. She's a little thinner than she used to be (due to the meds) but she still has that sparkle in her eye. </div>

As a birthday present to Bill, I took these (and many more) photos around NC State's campus. While this was my second choice for locations I think it worked out better. It was rather fitting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you Bill, Mish and Krissy for being great photo subjects. I hope Krissy has many more joyful months ahead of her. I'm glad I was able to do these photos for Bill and Mish. And I am so thankful for the strong heart of a hound. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This latest post is from Jess and she writes:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Easter weekend I had the pleasure of hanging out with my younger cousin, Brandon, his girlfriend, Margo, and her family for some fun shooting around my home town of Lincolnton. Man, things have changed there!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Margo wanted to capture some shots downtown, at the golf course, and on the farm. Even though I grew up in Lincolnton, I haven't wandered around town in years so they had to give ME directions. It was comical. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We shared many laughs on the farm. Between Ranger (the horse) trying to eat Margo, the numerous cows relieving themselves right beside us, and then us trying to dodge the cow pies, I'd say the shoot was an eventful one.</span></div>

A few weekends ago Jess and I met Kat and Drew in downtown Raleigh for a couple hours of laughs, smiles and some competitive fiancè lifting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I asked Drew why he looked so happy. He said he simply enjoys lifting things. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kat and Drew were referred to SOR by our recent clients, Adrianne and Ricky and are shaping up to be just as fun! When I first meet people for photoshoots I typically give them a small disclaimer about myself. In this case, I asked Kat and Drew if they minded cursing because...well, sometimes I have the mouth of a sailor. They both laughed and Drew's response was something to the effect of "we don't give a damn". I like these guys. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And they really like each other too. Which showed beautifully in their photoshoot. They are so damn cute together. </div>

Side note: City Market - One of my favorite places to do photoshoots now. Must return soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always ask my clients to bring a couple sentimental props with them. Kat and Drew brought a gambit of things including a picnic basket, teddy bear, champagne (!!!) and this adorable photo that Drew had taken the night he proposed. That is just awesome. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course Kat said yes or else I would not be here talking about them right now. I'm not all that surprised she said yes either. I mean...Drew's a great guy and funny to boot, but this ring is gorgeous. </div>

Yeah, I know, it's not about the ring, it's about love and all that good stuff. But...so...shiny....</div>

Anne and Bob found themselves back on the continental US about 6 months ago with their massive german shepherd, Storm. They promptly added another sure to be huge german shepherd, Hawk, and called me for a family photoshoot for the holidays.<br />
<br />
We met at the Harrison Ave parking lot for Umstead and had a great time during their photoshoot. Storm and Hawk were so sweet, fluffy, lovable and cooperative. Oh, Bob and Anne were pretty swell too.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my favorites.<br />

Two weekends ago, Chrissy and I enjoyed one of the sweetest, funniest weddings we've ever done. It all started with our first wedding with Jerry and Toya. From their referral, we met Sara and Joe for an <a href="http://oakcityphotographync.blogspot.com/2011/11/we-took-stroll-with-sara-and-joe.html">engagement shoot</a> in downtown Raleigh and on the 20th of October, we wished them well on their new life together!</div>
