Taylor Alexandra (my mini)

I can't believe my youngest sister is 9! In just a few short months she will be hitting the double digits and then comes boys, prom & college... UGH! I am so not taking this growing up thing very well. A few months ago I blogged about both of my sisters and just in that short time they have both grown so much. This post is all about Taylor, though! Oh, and her little friend Carly (who you might remember from this session) that came out to play for a little bit.

I love when Taylor comes into my room and just quitely leans over my shoulder and watches me work on photoshop. She loves to give a little input on what she thinks I should do with the pictures. She is really my biggest fan and I am the same with her. You wouldn't believe the voice on this girl, and thats only at 9. American Idol better watch out cause my little sis can really bring down the house! I took Taylor today and we just snapped a few shots in the backyard. Here are some cute ones :)














And then little Carly came out to play with us:







Look at those eyes!












silly girls...

"Junk" Paradise!

I can't believe I've lived in North Carolina for four years and I have never heard of this place!! It's like a photographers dream land :) I'm talking about Cline's Country Antiques. This place has acres of signs, furniture, old radios and record player... basically anything you can imagine.. it will be here. I stopped by Cline's after following along on a bridal shoot with Jennifer Brown (pictures will be posted from this session after the wedding in April). I snapped a few shots at Cline's... I couldn't help myself :)





Jennifer: "Oh look, it's Aunt Jemima!"
Me: "Really, hmm... doesn't look like Aunt Jemima to me.. HAHA"


I realllllly do LOVE Lucy! :)




You crack me up, Jennifer!


It's a hoarder's heaven!


signs, signs, signs, signs, signs!!!!




anyone need a hand?! hahaaaa.. i'm funny... okay, not really.










If you are ever near the Mount Pleasant area, or just looking to rummage through some cool stuff you should definitely make a pit stop at Cline's!
Don't forget to check back for Ashleigh's Bridal Session! :)

A little late, but better than never =)

Okay these are all the way from Thanksgiving!! eek... I know, I know! Well for thanksgiving my boyfriend and I visited his family in Illinios. They lived an hour away from Chicago and I was SUPER excited to see eveything. I've basically lived in a bubble my whole life and had never been off the east coast prior to this trip. I've only actually 'stayed' in 4 states. Well here are some pictures of Chicago, the family and of course the pup! :)


This is ye-yo.. most loveable puppy ever!

UNCC Rugby!

This season I am even going to be the photographer for a Women's Lacrosse team (which I'm VERY excited about) Here are some pictures from the guy's last rugby game.
