I was so excited when Kristen and her husband came in to the studio for their maternity session. Kristin is so cute and wears her pregnancy well. She wanted a little outside but of course also the classic inside black background shots. I sprinkled in some others with it. The most exciting part is that this couple doesn't know what they are having! It could be a little baby boy bump or a little baby girl bump! We did backdrops with both blue and pink so we could have it all covered. Enjoy! Can't wait to meet this little man or lady when he/she comes. Congrats you two. : )

Fun Stuff I created for the Show
Here are just some of the fun things I created for the bridal show. I love doing fun creative things like this with my photography. Enjoy!
Cary Magazine's Elegant Weddings Gala
I have always loved shooting for Cary Magazine. It gives me such variety in my photography and the people are wonderful to work with on these projects. Tonight I had the opportunity to join them for their Elegant Wedding Gala bridal show. So many cool brides and some really sweet Mom's helping their daughters out. They also gave out one lucky couple their DREAM wedding. It was great meeting everyone and working with so many great vendors! Special thanks to The English Garden for giving us the flowers and to the Matthews House for hosting the event!

Should Photographers give out their digital negatives?
I came across this blog post from another photographer and I must say I couldn't agree more. However with that said I do sell my digital negatives but I have always been very particular about only giving the DVD to my clients when they get their 200 4x6 prints in their image box. This way they can see GOOD processing first before they take my DVD some where and the prints look terrible and they think it is my photography and not the labs processing. With that said anytime you do a large print for display you REALLY want to use a pro lab not a consumer lab. Here is a link to the article. A very interesting read. http://www.wendylwhitephotography.com/info/?p=481

Choose your favorite Image and help a poor photographer...
I have an upcoming bridal show at the Matthews House on Thursday. Yes, nothing like waiting till the last minute. I have built the set, gotten my materials and books together and have procrastinated till the end on choosing the images I will display at the show. After shooting literally thousands upon thousands of beautiful brides how on earth do I just choose 4 - 6 images to display?! I mean REALLY?!! It helps a little that I have to narrow it down by choosing a little different style in each and pictures that kind of go together so it doesn't look weird but STILL. It feels like an impossible task. So I am asking for your HELP! Please comment on which is your favorite which will at least tell me what you like which is probably the most important factor as I am sure I can be prejudiced on weird things like perfect lighting, perfect composition etc. etc. etc.
SO HELP A GILR OUT! Let me know your favorite by commenting below. THANKS!!!! And if you need a ticket I have some I can send you. They are $20 at the door so if you are going take advantage. CaryElegant Weddings Gala at the Matthews House. http://www.matthews-house.com/
PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE 4 IMAGES AND LEAVE AS A COMMENT BELOW. THANKS!!!!

Death by Cupcake
Ok so maybe not death but it will kill your diet for sure! I was never a sweets or cake person but after shooting weddings for almost 10 years now I have become quite the cake conosuer. And then the Cupcake Shoppe came to town. You can just pop in and have a mini cake the quality of wedding cake at almost any hour. An hence I drove by today and this is what I bought... Shame shame on me! But for those of you planning your weddings GUESS WHAT?! They do cakes and then cupcakes around the cake for guests or a version there of depending on your style. Might be a fun option! http://www.thecupcakeshopperaleigh.com/
