hands and feet
Posted on August 17, 2009
I snapped this shot while my father-in-law was holding Olivia. I think it is such a beautiful image…I love the contrast of her “far far’s” gruff hands and the soft barely used feet of my baby. Such a sweet image that says so much about the both of them without showing much at all.

Beautiful, Simple
Posted on August 13, 2009
Before my trip I had the pleasure of shooting a beautifully simple wedding for Laura and Keith. They choose The Yellow House for their wedding and reception and it is just the most charming place! This bed and breakfast is tucked away in Waynesville, NC and everywhere you look you see touches of old and natural beauty. It was the perfect location for an out of town bride with only months to prepare. Laura kept details to a minimal and kept it personal by recruiting friends and family to help. For those of you looking for a way to keep it simple, take a look….she did it beautifully…
She had the cake decorated to match the invitation, which was brilliantly done. If you look closely, you will may be able to see that the invitation has seeds in them. These truly are “green” invitations because after the wedding you can stick these in the ground and wait a couple of weeks and you will have flowers! Love it!
The ceremony was touching with many smiles and tears.
LOVED having so much time with the bride and groom afterwards to take some really beautiful portraits. How many of you can say you laid back and relaxed on a hammock on your wedding day? Well I strongly recommend it…doesn’t it look great?!
Carolina Rowers…
Yeah they are telling Duke/State where they can go…love hearing my fight song at a wedding!
And a few reception shots….
Laura and Keith, thank you for letting me part of your day. I enjoyed documenting your special day!

Jennifer + Eric
Posted on August 11, 2009
Well Erica has been busy while I have been away! She has been managing the office and shooting weddings and e-sessions and senior sessions. I wanted to share an e-session she shot at the Outer Banks a couple of weeks ago. She did such a fabulous job…..it looks as though they had so much fun! Jennifer is actually the girl that caught the bouquet at a wedding Erica shot last year so it was great to see someone reappear in her images!
Congrats Eric and Jennifer…can’t wait until the fall to see your wedding images!
And my favorite of the session….
On a side note….Erica is heading up our Senior Program so if you know of an upcoming 2010 high school graduate, please send them her way! She is now taking appointments for senior sessions, which we anticipate filling up quickly! If interested her email is erica@orangecatphoto.com.

Back from Sweden
Posted on August 10, 2009
Well we have just gotten back from a wonderful visit with family and friends in Sweden. For those of you wondering, Olivia did fantastic! We really couldn’t ask for a better baby. She endured the 16 hour trip and arrived in Sweden with a big smile on her face! It was such a restful, inspiring trip and I can’t wait to share images of this beautiful country with you! But for now I will leave just one because being gone for any amount of time means LOTS of catching up to do! So back to work for me, but enjoy the lamb!
Until next time…..
