Whitney & Westley’s just for fun photoshoot in Huntersville, NC – Charlotte Photographer

Jere and I were thrilled when we found out that Whitney and Westley would be getting back in front of our cameras!  They are such a sweet and fun couple, and we are so thankful that we met them.  I could go on and on about them.  They might look familiar to you…we were second shooters at their wedding back in June, and we also did Whitney’s bridals last August.  So without further ado, the beautiful Whitney, and her handsome husband, Westley!

Thank you guys so much…we had a great time! xoxo

Allison’s modeling shoot in Charlotte, NC – Charlotte Photographer

Meet Allison!  She began modeling just a few short months ago and wanted to add some more photos to her portfolio.  In my humble opinion, I think she’s a natural.

Well, with the snow still on the ground from the night before, I had to fight the urge to play in it…I did find the time to throw a couple of snowballs at Jere though. :)  Of course, like before, it was pretty cold, but compared to the weekend before with Renee & Nathan, it didn’t feel too bad out in the sun.  And, speaking of sun, the light was AMAZING!!!  I could have stayed and shot in some of those locations ALL DAY!

Thank you, Allison for braving the cold with us…we had so much fun!  It was a pleasure working with you, and we look forward to doing it again sometime!!

Bride’s Choice Awards

Last month we were honored to find out we were among the winners of WeddingWire’s 2010 Bride’s Choice Awards!  I just wanted to quickly thank our brides for writing such kind words about us!  We truly appreciate it!!

Renee & Nathan’s engagement session in Charlotte, NC – Charlotte Wedding Photographer

When Jere and I decided to advertise with WeddingWire, we hoped that we would get at least one bride from it…and not long after Alisa from Charlotte Event Style contacted us about setting up a consult with one of her brides, Renee.  Renee is such a sweet, funny person and we throw the dry humor back and forth, which I love.  We did Renee’s bridal session back in early December (it was freezing), and since she and Nathan aren’t getting married until March, we can’t post those just yet!

We’ve been working on our new website for the past few months and since Renee is a graphic artist, she’s working on our new branding! :) I can’t wait to see what she comes up with!

Okay, on to the engagement session.  Again, it was Fr.eez.ing.  It was great to see her and Nathan together.  They are such a cute couple, full of laughter.  Thank you so much for braving the cold with us!

Renee and Nathan will be our first wedding of 2010 and we are so excited!  They are getting married at Belk Chapel on the Queens University campus, followed by a reception at Bonterra.  Congratulations and we can’t wait for March 6th!!!


February 14, 2010 - 10:51 am Charlotte - The freezing weather certainly didn't damper the way these two feel about each other. The fun and love shine through and the pictures say it all. Very nice. :)

February 10, 2010 - 10:59 pm Renee & Nathan - Jere & Ashley, we absolutely LOVE these! We had a great time and you did an awesome job of capturing us together...I truly mean it when I say you are the best. Thank YOU for braving the cold with us. We can't wait to see you March 6th!!

February 10, 2010 - 8:11 pm Kelly - These are awesome! It makes me SO excited!!

The Barber family photoshoot in Charlotte, NC – Charlotte Newborn Photographer

Meet the Barbers…Bryan, Amy, and little Miss Sophie!  The plan was for little Miss Sophie to sleep during the session, but she had other plans.  But, I can’t blame her.  Why wouldn’t she want to stay awake and hang out with Jere and I??? So, with a lot of swinging her from side to side, and an electric toothbrush (they learned that she liked the sound of it), she closed her eyes for a little while.  And, we didn’t waste any time getting some sleeping baby shots!  I can’t image what woke her up.  It couldn’t have been from her lying practically naked with her legs tucked up under herself, or resting her chin on her arms…and then putting beanies on her head.  No, it couldn’t have been any of that.  I guess we’ll never know.

Jere and I had great time hanging out with the whole family (including Maddox and Cooper) while we waited for Sophie to fall asleep.  It was a pleasure witnessing the love that you have for each other and for Sophie.  Congratulations on your precious little miracle!!

P.S. I hope all three of you were able to sleep good that night!

January 21, 2010 - 11:32 am Amy Barber - Jere and Ashley, we adore the photos, you did such an amazing job of capturing our new little family. We will forever cherish these images!

January 19, 2010 - 2:25 pm Nancy Tarabay - Amy, She is absolutely beautiful. The photos are amazing!!! Congratulations.
