Backyard Bunnies

Our neighbor found some baby bunnies in his backyard and immediately thought to invite Caleb and Lydia over to see them. As you can imagine, both Caleb and Lydia were interested in the bunnies. . . not to mention my excitement that rushed us all over there. Caleb was brave enough to hold one of them and you can see how gentle he was with the bunny in the picture below. You can also see that Lydia was a little unsure. She did enjoy "petting" them and watching them hop around the yard. When we were walking home Caleb referred to them as precious bunnies.

Rachel+Brian

I've known Rachel and Brian for nearly ten years. They both attended East Carolina University with me and they've been good friends ever since. Rachel is an excellent photographer in Connecticut and is rocking weddings almost every weekend. You can check her blog out HERE. She invited me along to shoot with her for a wedding in Greenwich, CT. She also wanted me to take some photos of her and Brian, (because photographers rarely have images of themselves). I was honored to be asked. So, I came up a day early and we went into New York City to have some fun. Unfortunately, it started to rain just as we were headed out. So, we had to be creative (and dry) with the time. We ended up hanging out in the M&M store in Times Square for a while. It was a blast and they are so much fun! Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

Ya gotta love Times Square.

"Wicked"!

Rachel loved what the sign said, "This wall may be colorful but Green is the best part!"

Rach and Brian: You guys are so selfless and caring. I LOVED being with you both for the weekend. Thanks for the opportunity. Go after your dream . . . You'll be doing your own workshops in no time.

Little Tittle

The Tittle family just had their second baby, Riley Kate, 11 days ago. She's beautiful, just like the rest of her family. The Tittle family hired us to do their family photos last fall. You can see them HERE on our old blog site. Amber and Ryan have been such big fans of ours and are always leaving encouraging comments about our most recent work. It was fun to have the opportunity to photograph this exciting time in their lives. Craig and I tag-teamed on this photoshoot and it's always interesting to see the different perspectives we are able to get. We had a great time and enjoyed watching Ryan, Amber and Avery enjoy their new "little Tittle" thru the lens. Thanks for having us over during this sweet time in your family's life.

The first two shots are so unique they're our favorites!

Ryan is still outnumbered, now 3:1. He's loving every minute of it though:)

Here are a few of the "moments" - so sweet.

Avery was so sweet with her little sister. She climbed into bed with Riley and sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. She is such a proud big sister and has come to terms that Riley is here to stay.

Ric+Robyn Wedding

You may remember Ric and Robyn from their engagement photos back in July (you can view those images by clicking HERE). Ric and Robyn were married August 23rd in Simpson, NC. They had a beautiful outdoor wedding next to a small pond and under beautifully blue skies. Both Ric and Robyn are huge ECU Pirate fans. So, as any real fan might do they incorporated purple and gold into their colors scheme. Ric wore a sweet purple vest and tie. They danced to the ECU fight song, had the "announcer" of the Pirate Basketball and Football games (Morgan Ahlers) as their D.J. and even the table cloths were purple. Yes, Ric and Robyn are my kind of people. I thoroughly enjoyed photographing this wedding. Ric and Robyn know how to throw a party!

My two absolute favorite images!

You gotta' love the emotion.

Uhhh, yea. This is awesome.

Robyn was so excited to be married!

The first dance.

Yes, it is Dom Perignon. They saved it for their wedding day.

The beautiful night sky.

Below is a short slideshow with images from the entire day. Take a minute to e-mail it to a few friends. You can also click HERE to view the slideshow on the web.

To Ric and Robyn: Thanks for choosing me to capture this special day, I wish you both the very best and I hope to run into you sometime in Dowdy-Ficklen.
