Searching for Fairer Pastures
As winter creeps in, undecidedly at first here in North Carolina, I begin to think of New England.
We travel there every winter to escape the dreariness of the grey Carolinas, if only for a little while.
New England is a place of wonder and mystery to me. Ancient mountains and architecture as old as America itself. Soft pine trees, their branches weighted with the whitest of snow, a roaring fire, and the scent of a hot beverage in the air. A place to rest. A place to focus on things that matter like family and maintaining the home. The winter is harsh but it makes the people heartier I think. They must focus on the things that matter to keep the cold at bay. Keeping a fire stoked, shoveling the driveway, storing food. It is a life that greatly appeals to me.
So my search for fairer pastures begins.
This is my vacation, my place where the grass is greener. My fun in the sun and beach trip. This is what I call home.

More to come of Kacie’s rainy day bridal session in Uptown Charlotte.
Bridals: Amy
Another bridal session at the Duke Mansion this week. Amy is definitely one of my favorite brides this year. She, like myself, is a perfectionist and desires for every detail to be in place. Her efforts show in how amazing her Romona Keveza dress looked on her. Her attention to detail really mirrored my own and she worked amazingly with my methodical style of photographing.

Bridals: Rackin
Rackin’s bridal session was one that I was looking forward to for a long time. She looked stunning in her dress and wore it with the grace and elegance that is not common today. I was so pleased when we discussed the Duke Mansion as the location for the shoot. It is one of those rare places in Charlotte that has the pre 60’s elegance and class that is just not found in today’s architecture. It has a patina that only can come from a structure being there that long and capable hands to care for it. Makeup by the venerable Erin Ashley.
