Renee & Family l OBX-Duck, NC Family Portrait Photographer

Monday, June 27th, 2011

It’s always flattering when another photographer chooses (or refers) you. I consider it to be one of the highest compliments. When Renee contacted me about photographing her family while they were here on vacation I was excited! She’s super sweet, and her boys were adorable. It was great getting to meet them, I hope to see them next year! We grabbed a few family shots to begin with, and then focused on some candids – and more specifically Renee with her kids. As most mom’s know, you rarely ever get IN the photos with your family. As a photographer mom, it’s pretty much impossible as everyone expects that you’ll be taking the photos. I’m glad we were able to capture some sweet moments between Renee and her boys!

Aymber & Bernard {Married} l Carova, OBX Wedding Photographer

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

Ceremony & Reception Location: Twiddy Event Home – Carova 4×4 area

Catering: Basnight’s Lone Cedar Cafe

Officient: Rev. Jay Bowman

Cake: Icing On the Cake

Aymber & Bernard were a really great couple to work with. They decided on a low-key intimate wedding with close family, friends, and their children in the gorgeous 4×4 area of Carova. It proved to be a perfect backdrop and we even had a visit from the famous Corolla Wild Horses. Their day wasn’t without a few mishaps ;) but all in all it was a beautiful day and one filled with a lot of love and joy. Aymber is an incredibly strong woman, having lost her first husband in Iraq, she has raised their daughter into a beautiful little girl, and found a wonderful man in Bernard. Their children have easily slipped into brother/sister rolls with each other – and are about the three cutest little things I’ve seen in a while. Rev. Jay did not disappoint, while Ron and the rest of the Lone Cedar crew rocked out an amazing dinner.

Congrats to Aymber & Bernard on your new family together!
