Iris & Lily Cards ~ Perfect Gifts

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Ask and you shall receive ~ When I recently posted images of spring flowers, several readers asked if I would make them into cards ~ Well, guess what!? I did – and they are beautiful: 5.5″ x 4″ folded blank cards in a lustre finish ~ perfect cards to express thank you, get well, condolence, congratulations, birthday, graduation or a whole host of other greetings. They would also make great teachers’ gifts.

The card collections come with eight cards and matching parchment paper envelopes. Cost is $20 shipped to a US address. NC residents will need to add 8.25% State Sales tax. Please click here to place your order. I am now offering two designs ~ Iris and Lily. If you can’t choose between the two, you  may  order both designs in one box with 4 cards of each design.

Delightful Family Photo Session

Friday, May 14th, 2010

I thoroughly enjoyed working with this beautiful family ~ And what better day to photograph than on Mother’s Day! I had a blast ~ the weather was picture perfect, the girls were sweet and their baby brother was adorable. We photographed in their garden in the late afternoon, so the children could play and be comfortable and the light is optimal late in the day. Everyone had a great Mother’s Day ~ and here are  some sneak peeks from our photo session ~

Spring Beauty ~ St. Johns Garden

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

One of my favorite places in Charlotte is the garden at our church, St. Johns Episcopal Church. It is peaceful, beautiful, contemplative and gives me a sense of hope and renewal every time I visit. Each time I go, I see something new. I’ve been bringing my camera to the garden this spring – and wanted to share its beauty with you. Here are some of my favorite spring beauties ~

Fun Loving Family

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

I enjoyed photographing this lovely family ~ Sweet parents and adorable little boys. We chose to photograph in the garden and then later at a nearby park for a variety of settings. The boys kept busy in their back yard playing with their toys and exploring the trees, grass and dirt! Spring time is perfect for a family photo session – everything is coming alive and each day looks a little bit different. I am honored to photograph these handsome brothers and their parents! So I wanted to share with you a few of my favorites from their family photo session ~
