Designing the New "Heathers-Letters" Website
/It's done! For months I have been working alongside Heather of "Heather's Letters" to totally revamp and relaunch her website and business. Heather's goal was to update her website in celebration of her businesses' first anniversary! It was a pleasure working alongside Heather! I am constantly blown away by her creativity and talent. Her hand-lettered and calligraphic piece are gorgeous - my home is quickly filling up with them! From the very beginning we worked side-by-side to take her vision and translate it into a new home for her on the web. We are both very pleased with the final result!
From the site redesign itself, to a photo shoot that included product photos as well as candid images of her work, process, home and family - I enjoyed every moment of developing her new site! It's a thrill to watch someone take a step of faith in their business and I look forward to seeing the places Heather goes with both her inspirational heart and talent! She is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have met and I am grateful for the friendship we have developed! So go check out her site and don't hesitate to pick up one (or all!) of the printed pieces in her shop! Below you'll find a few photos from our website shoot!
Happy Anniversary to our Grandparents!
/Friends, today our grandparents celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary. This photo was taken on their honeymoon! Words cannot express the blessing and encouragement they are to us! 65 years of love, laughter, sacrifice and friendship. We are so grateful to be their granddaughters and for the example they have set before us. Of all the things they've taught us, this we will always try to embrace - love hard, laugh much, and be thankful! Happy Anniversary, Bachi & Gaddi! (Curious about the names? It's a Polish thing!)

Hilton Head Island - Stock Shoot
/As sisters growing up, we often found ourselves sharing friends. At the time, I wouldn't say we were the best of friends ourselves but we found a way to get along considering we had many friends in common. Ashley and Teran met in middle school and have been friends ever since. Fortunately, as we all grew older, we grew closer. I would go along with Teran when she would meet up with Ashley and soon enough, Ashley's sister, Meg, would join us as well! We love meeting up with Meg and Ashley. They both live on Hilton Head Island so Teran and I are happy to find any excuse we need to get down to see them as much as possible. Beyond being great friends, they are two very happy and eager models for us, which I love! As I continue to shoot some stock photography on the side - these two make that job very easy! As the summer comes to a close, here's a few shots from our last trip down there. Meg even convinced her family to get in on a few! Interested in taking part in one of our stock shoots? Let us know!
[Murphy + Sarah ] Wedding Video - Apex, NC
/
I am so grateful that I was able to be part of Murphy and Sarah's wedding day. It was a day of joy and laughter, filled with love and grace. Murphy and Sarah's love for each other was truly evident throughout the day and they were surrounded by friends and family whose care for this couple was on full display. It's funny to think back about how I met this couple. I actually met Sarah at a wedding last summer - not only did I meet Sarah that day but I also met Logan, Sarah's friend, who I've been blessed to get to know and even shoot multiple weddings with this past year. Sarah was helping to coordinate the wedding and Logan was the videographer for the day. From that very first time we met, I remember hearing about Murphy, Sarah's fiance and Logan's best-friend. I never would have imagined the way are lives would continue to cross over the next few months, but here we all are, over a year later, and I am so thankful I was able to witness and capture Murphy & Sarah's wedding day.
I have been so impressed and encouraged by this group of friends. Their faith, love and care for each other and those around them is so genuine and full from the moment you meet them. Murphy and Sarah's wedding day was a true reflection of the love they have for each other and the deep-rooted faith they share that binds their relationship together.
Murphy and Sarah, thank you for allowing me the privilege to be part of your day. I consider myself blessed to have witnessed the covenant you made before God, your family, your friends, and each other. I wish you both all the best!

Katy's Senior Session - Raleigh, NC
/We couldn't have had a nicer session then the Friday evening we spent with Katy & Heather. These two friends contacted us about doing their senior sessions and they were excited to do them at the same time. We met up with these two seniors on a beautiful summer evening. We shot on the lovely property of Heather's grandfather and we were in for a treat - between the open field and an old rustic cabin - it was such an ideal setting for these ladies! We'll be sharing Heather's session soon but until then, here is the gorgeous Katy! Congrats Katy on your senior year - hope you enjoy every bit of it!

/There is something quite wonderful in the ordinary.
Project52 - Brothers [5:52]
/These two! What can I even say? Sweet Aiden, he has grown up in front of a camera. The kid can't put together a full sentence but he sure knows how to strike a pose! It is always surprising how well he follows instructions and seems to enjoy taking pictures with his brother. I'm not sure I could ever grow tired of taking photos of these boys!
