The Brides Book

I have been getting creative and trying new looks for my upcoming ad in The Brides Book. There were many choices and it was hard to decide on just one photo that represents me and my work. I went a little romantic for this one because I am a romantic. Let me know what you think.

Congratulations!

This weekend was a blast. I had the pleasure to shoot with Jason and Stacy of Blue Mountain Photo at Mandy and Jacob's wedding in Greenville SC. The day was filled with lots of laughter, fun, and so much love. Congratulations to the happy couple. Click here for the slideshow of the wedding.

I truly enjoy getting to know the couples I work with. Tonight I had dinner with Beth and Marion. I had the honor to shoot their wedding 1 1/2 years ago at the Crest Center and Pavilion. www.thecrestcenter.com They are such a fun couple. I always have a smile on my face while they are around. I am looking forward to working with them in the future. Oh and look what I got today...my husband is so sweet. He knows just how much I love these lilies. They make my office smell so wonderful. The card says "just because". He too knows how to make me smile.

Year of the Boar

I had a wonderful day in Raleigh at the 2007 Chinese New Year Festival presented by the Triangle Area Chinese American Society. Here are a few of the images from the day. I love the vibrance of the colors. So beautiful.

Nashville TN

I love to travel and I enjoy spending time with my friends. I just returned home from Nashville TN, where I spent the last few days writing a song for my website with some really great friends. John Willis works with top of the industry artists and I had the honor for him to get creative with the music. http://www.johndwillis.com Stephanie Willett sang all the vocals and I am very excited for the finished product. http://www.stephaniewillett.com I definitely learned that I am not cut out for the music industry as a writer or singer, and I completely respect all the hard work they put into their art. I also had the opportunity to photograph Andrea Pearson, a singer songwriter from Canada. http://www.andreapearson.com She is absolutely beautiful and so sweet. I am very excited to have a full day coming up soon with her. We are going to have a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone for making the past week so cool.

I have had a wonderful birthday. We celebrated last night at the Olive Garden with most of my family and friends. Waynette of Sweet Promises http://www.sweet-promises.com/ made an awesome birthday cake that was so delicious! I am so happy that everyone could make it, especially my life long friend Charlene. I realized just how lucky I am to have so many people close to me that I can share my life with. Being that I had two of my dear friends there (who just happen to be photographers) I got some amazing images to remember my day. Thank you Regina and Athena. Life changes so quickly and we grow up so fast. I think back to just 10 years ago when I met my husband and see just how far we have come. Our love is so strong and I don't think I could be where I am today without his love and support. Lots of people come to their birthday with their minds set to "oh no another year older", but I am so happy to be where I am and have so much to live for. Today is a point in my life that I can say I am 30, truly happy, and I am very excited to see where I go from here.

I spent the day with Payton to celebrate 2 years! We played with her new dollhouse, Dora, and glitter all over our faces. FUN FUN FUN I have to say she is so beautiful. It is amazing what you see looking up from a child's point of view. I love her excited little laugh when she hears other children laughing, her sweet little shhhhh while reading, and the way she loves her mom. Happy Birthday Payton!

My first wedding of the year was with a sweet couple in Lincolnton, NC. Tara and Kirk were wonderful. For January, I expected freezing temperatures or snow, but instead we had bright blue skies and in the 70's. It was terrific! Thanks for an awesome day!

I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful couple just before the new year. Nicole kept telling me they were very excited to have found me and with our conversations about their the shoot, I knew this was going to be fun. The information they provided in their worksheets allowed me to create a plan for the day with some great places that were real and meant something to them as a couple. We started at a sushi bar, strolled downtown, stopped for a glass of wine, and went to the garage to shoot with Adam's off road jeep (currently under repair). He was a little reluctant thinking this would not be good for photographing, but it turned out awesome. After we finished, I was so happy that I had to show them the photos from the back of the camera. I can't wait to shoot the wedding. View their slideshow http://www.coreycagle.com/Siska

Happy New Year is definitely true. I had the most wonderful evening with my husband. We drove to Atlanta GA to see the Cirque and it was awesomely indescribable. I was there laughing and in awe the entire show. You should check out their website www.cirquedusoleil.com and if you ever get a chance to see a show, I would highly recommend it.
