This little girl is the sweetest! She is so full of personality and loves to laugh. It has been such a treat watching her grow throughout her first year. :)

Colonel Klink

I love taking pictures of pets. Dogs are so much fun and so are cats, even when they are aloof. My dogs and cats serve as my daily muses, so when I get to go out and photograph somebody else’s pet, I feel so lucky. My guys are a part of my family, and Colonel Klink is a part of his. He was rescued from a home where he was being neglected and is now being giving all the love and attention he deserves.

The family kitty wanted his portrait made too. Well, not really, but he was a good sport.

2011 A Year In Photos

2011 was a year of work, travel, driving, lots of driving, growing my business, making new friends, spending time with family, and a big move to Asheville, North Carolina.

Dameian and I kicked off the year with a nice trip to Florida for the holidays.

Right after I returned from Colombia, I headed out to Colorado to photograph the wedding of my good friends, Chris and Jenni.

Attended a great photography workshop by Justin & Mary Marantz, Spread The Love. Plus I took this photograph of my friend and fellow photographer, Leslie Keener. Isn’t she beautiful?!

Asheville Wedding photographers

I was thrilled to photograph so many gorgeous brides, happy couples, and crazy dance parties during 2011. I ate my fair share of wedding cake, most of it carrot, danced with the wedding party, cried with the father of the bride, and really just loved every minute of it. I want to thank all of my brides and grooms for trusting me to document such a special part of their family history. It means the world to me.
