Heather and Tatum

Heather and her baby girl, Tatum, were so fun to photograph.  This little darlin had just turned one year old recently.  Children grow up so fast.  It was a pleasure capturing Tatum at this time in her life and the special bond she shares with her mom.  

Fall in the South

Fall is my favorite time of year in the South.  The colors are breathtaking.  The pumpkins, trees, fields ready for the harvest are favorites for me.  But the best part is at any given time during the fall, if you close your eyes and deeply inhale ...you will smell warm pumpkin and pecan pies cooling in the breeze.

What do your shoes say about you?

One of my favorite couples:  my best friend, Devon and her husband, Ben.  Their hearts' roots run deep in Mt. Ulla, NC. 

Details are important

Harper is the newest edition to the Lucke Family.  Anna and Patrick I enjoyed meeting your little girl!  What a great team you guys are!  I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this happy girl.

"Aw Shucks!"

I photographed a local Corn Shuckin in Mt. Ulla, NC this past fall.  The host/farmer of this event and his family are very dear to my heart.  I had so much fun.  There was such a great sense of community. Not to mention the folks of this little hidden town pulled together and fed the 100 plus people in attendance.  Then once night fell, everyone headed into one of the larger barns where two steppin' and cloggin followed.  My one regret is that I have the photo posted below and can't remember whom these adorable twins belong so I could share the photo with the family.  I haven't given up.

A Child's Laughter is the Best Sound in the World.

Children are so expressive.  Each emotion and thought is displayed right across their face. Their excitement and love of life is so contagious.  I enjoyed taking these photos so much.  She made my day.
