So here’s the details on this deal:

Book a session by the end of the day Friday and you will receive a $50 print credit for your session – it’s as easy as that! I am currently booking for January through May 2011, so your session can take place anytime between those dates.

For an EXTRA $25 print credit, simply share the link to this deal on your Facebook page and help me spread the word! If you do that, you receive a $75 print credit. Yes – that’s $75 worth of free prints from your session! Imagine the possibilities!

You can use the credit towards any prints AND you can use it towards the purchase of digital files! How amazing is that?!?

This deal is good until the end of the day Friday ONLY and is the best discount I’ve offered! This opportunity won’t happen again (okay… maybe next year) so take advantage of it now!

To book your 2011 session and receive the print credit, simply send me an e-mail before 11:59 p.m. Friday. I’ll respond as soon as I can to let you know your e-mail has been received. You will be required to pay the session fee within one week of your booking to secure your date. The session fee is non-refundable, but don’t worry – I’m flexible! If something comes up and you need to re-schedule, we can do that! No problem!

Hope everyone has a very happy Thanksgiving!

This weekend I worked with a local event photographer to photograph the Half Marathon being held in Wilmington, NC. It was a COOOOOLD morning and my fingers nearly froze off! It was quite the experience.

This was my favorite finish line photo. She looks so happy… and she should, she just finished a half marathon!

Congrats to all of the amazing runners!

Be sure to swing by and “like” me on Facebook!

If you’re in need of a nice family photo for your Christmas cards, or just need a few updated pictures of your children, then these mini-sessions are for you! It’s a great chance to get a few nice portraits without booking an entire session. These happen just once a year, so take advantage now!

A few nights ago I visited the North Carolina State Capitol in Raleigh and brought along my camera.

This picture is for my Dad (I’m an Army brat). Go Army!

These are also for my Dad, who’s a Vietnam Vet. This is the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial outside of the Capitol.

Here’s the Capitol building after sunset. Beautiful, isn’t it?

This is Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh.

I recently joined an awesome photography forum called Clickin’ Moms, and it turns out there are a bunch of members from right here in Raleigh who are very talented photographers. We arranged a meetup last weekend at the American Tobacco Campus in Durham. We spent the evening taking lots of pictures, sharing ideas, and getting to know each other. Had a blast and can’t wait for our next meetup!

One of the women brought along their daughters – they were great models!

Group photo! I think this is an awesome shot!

The time is finally here! My website is up and running!
