Mother's Day

Portrait Couture....Mother's Day.  To me this is one of the most amazing holidays that we celebrate.  To honor the person that we call mother.  Whether it was your grandmother, aunt, sister, adoptive, etc...you call them mother.  Celebrate this day by having an amazing experience together.  Hair, make-up and memories.  Call today to ask me more about this memory waiting to be captured.  So, when was the last time you shared these moments with your mother.

Strickland Wedding October 2012

Ah....Weddings...love is in the air & for this "rocker" couple it was a long time coming. Brandon is a lead guitarist in two bands plus a song writer. Candace was his true love and always involved with him & the band.  We had a blast on their wedding day & even more fun with the photos afterwards.  Brandon was ready to "rock the shot" and Candace was along for the fun! Enjoy the shots and Rock  On!

This is so precious to have Candace's brother give her away!

This is what the wedding guest really wanted to do!

Just a man, his wife and his guitar...

The colors and flowers Candace choose for her bouquet were amazing.

Love, love

Let me feast of your love and of your lips,
for I am in love with you. Let me always
kiss your mouth...eyes...all of you.

Your kiss...touch...embrace, has captured
my heart...my very soul.

WHY DO I LOVE YOU?
BECAUSE...YOU ARE YOU.

YOU ARE MY WORLD. MY LOVE.

I will always laugh and think about these photos with the guitar because Brandon told me "Only you Carla would I let put my Tuxedo Gibson guitar on the ground!" But see Brandon, it was worth it :)

Two loves

Yes..it's a bullet

I love love love this bouquet.

Can you guess that these are the band members?

See, even the guys can go crazy over a ring.

Blowing Rock..Just because

Ah....Blowing Rock.  A place so dear to my heart for so many reasons.  Fall is one of the most amazing times to go to our North Carolina mountains.  Mom and I took a little trip back in October and these are images of fall and all the magical stuff that is Blowing Rock.

Blanket of color

And we wonder where the name The Blue Ridge Parkway comes from?

I got so tickled at the cattle watching me shoot photos...
