Beautiful Brides


Virginia and John were married just a short week ago in Kingsport Tennessee. While I'm getting their wedding day images ready I thought I'd finally share some of my favorites from her Bridal Portrait! Virginia had a beautiful morning shoot where we battled all sorts of bugs, creatures and wildlife! We came through with the help of some good friends and the results were worth it.

It's been a year already...

It's not always easy to get a perfect smile from a child. But, when you can get a shot of his personality every smile is perfect! This is Tripp and he's just about 1 year old. These Funny Faces are what keep me going on a "warm" summer day. We had a good time in Wake Forest and I'm sure there will be many more outfits in the future. I love baby hats!

Kaleena & Bryan Got Married in Raleigh!

So, the big day came for Kaleena and Bryan at the Royal Banquet Hall and I love when you can feel the excitement in the air and see the joy in everyones faces on a wedding day. As a photographer, you can often tell how your day will go by the way the groomsmen accept you. Now, I should have known I was in for a real treat when I said "Ok, now everyone strike a pose" and this happened...


We were all laughing to hard (ok, I was laughing so hard all day) that I must have been on my super luck train to get this beautiful yet serious look from the bride! I just love how nice the wind was being to us.


After the ceremony - theses two needed a breather and I needed them to stand still - so it worked out for all of us.


Can you tell which team is the favorite in their new home?


Another short break - don't worry the party will arrive soon enough - but we had to see all sides of the building at sunset!



I really enjoy how they fall so neatly into each other's arms.


Ok - as promised, my super luck train ran all night - check out the worm I found on the dance floor!


The Dancing Queen and her crew!


Everyone got involved, great times were had and shared and shared and shared...


I couldn't resist taking a hint from my friend April who is so creative with the ring shots... I mean if you have a Happy Meal Toy, use it! And, Thanks to Sean for being quick on his feet to catch the most awesome shot of the bubble exit!



Congratulations Mr & Mrs. Sawyer!

It Sprang!

As we draw closed on the spring bunny portraits I thought you'd like one last highlight of the fun and frolic that is live bunnies. Oliver is back with us again and two new comers have hit the scene.



Our bunny caught the modeling bug for a minute... just one minute.


sometimes the best pictures from the live bunny sessions have no bunnies at all.


Yep - these guys are fun to sit with.


the excitement is almost too much.


These hilarious faces keep me coming back for more...

Spring for Senior Portraits!

This time of year it's always awesome to work with high school seniors - I remember the enthusiasm of that time in life and it is easy to stretch your photographic limits with willing and outgoing teens. Today with the threat of rain we scored with an incredible location with the help of my good friends at The Cobblestone down at City Market. While there are many more yet to come from the session - here are my favorites from our stop at this great location.

Bunnies for Dayz in Wake Forest

Ok, so it shouldn't be this much fun to play with animals that don't give kisses or wag their tails... The Bunny madness struck again and for your viewing pleasure I share "The Shelton Bunch" - well, those of the bunch that still enjoy bunnies anyway.





These fun shoots don't last long but the images you'll love for a lifetime!

Bunnies in Wake Forest

So, I promised a good time with bunnies and - wow - we got one. Here are a few of my favorites from today's bunny handlers. Some of my favorite little men showed me how the bunny lovin is done. Here we go!


Then it gets interesting when the bunnies figure out there are treats in the baskets!





There are still plenty of opportunities to be photographed with the bunnies, call to make your appointment today 919-889-3579 or email for details : b.jarvah@mac.com
