Fashion Shoot with Nikki

December 9, 2007February 24, 2009Leave a comment

Today I had a fashion shoot with Nikki who was doing a shoot for her comp card and portfolio. We did have to stop an hour and a half in because after talking about how bad it would be to lock ones keys in the car, Nikki was talking on the phone with her husband and accidentally locked her keys in her car. So we took a 5/10minute drive to her place to pick up a spare key. It was kind of funny and a good thing we didn’t have to drive far to the shoot location 🙂

this would have been an even cooler shot if it was snowing 🙂

I really like the blue-grey

this looks like I scanned it right out of a magazine

this shot looks like something in a catalogue for petite sophisticate

Jessica and Clay got married at Mount Moriah Baptist Church on Saturday and I shot with Jessica Key.

Clay is in the Marines and they had the military arch of swords/sabers

The swords are my fave, I love the intricate inlay

I loved the bride and groom cakes! There was a Meredith cheer girl and the NCSU Wolf. Cakes by Cinda’s Creative Cakes

Kelly’s Flowers

October 27, 2007February 17, 20091 Comment

My friend Kelly does flowers for her friends weddings and they look gorgeous! Her friend’s wedding is today, but I went to Kelly’s house last night before going to Karaoke with some other friends of ours. I got some shots of her flowers because she may be starting a business doing flowers for weddings professionally.

I Love details like this!

All of the flowers for the reception tables

flowers for the cocktail tables

I think water droplets on flowers make them look fresh

and Kelly with her beautiful finished work

It can be exciting to hear that your photos are being used and published, but it’s more exciting seeing it in print! My photo was used in Beverage World Magazine, September 2007. The main photo of the tablet is on page s26, but the thumbnail can be seen on the article pages between s1-s32.
