Family Shoot with the Robinson's

A beautiful day with my sweet neighbors, The Robinson's, where I had the pleasure of spending their Mother's Day with them at the Arboretum in Asheville. This was a gift given to Rebekah by her very loving husband, Dean. I was so touched at how loving and fun their family was together. I arrived later in the afternoon, around 6:30 ish, and because of the golden light of the day and the beautiful backdrops of the scenery, we had a lot to play with!

Lucy & Annie the Wonder Dogs!

I absolutely love dogs and I LOVE it when I get the opportunity to photograph them. A dear sweet friend I hadn't seen in a long time contacted me asking if I would photograph her dogs for a birthday present for her friend. She wanted to get them 'in action' playing with each other and some individual photos of them too! I met her at her house and it wasn't an ideal situation to get them in full action, so we hopped in the car and went to a near by park where the dogs could run around and play. We had such a good time laughing at them as they played non-stop, well except when my friend, Beth, busted out their 'treats!'

Sarah-Kim's New Actor Headshots

A true beauty inside and out! This very talented actress and singer needed new headshots to 'get back in the game' of submitting her photos to talent agencies for commercial work. She's been busy raising 2 very adorable boys and feels it is time to work again. Well, I was fortunate to be asked to do photograph her headshots!

When I arrived at her house, she had had her make-up professionally done by the very talented, Scott, at Make-Up at the Grove Arcade in downtown Asheville. He went with a very simple look that brought out her unbelievable eyes and smile. Nice job Scott! Sarah-Kim and I went into her bedroom where she had laid out all of her clothes to choose from and I picked out my favorites. Because it was such a beautiful spring afternoon, we went outside {lipstick & comb in hand of course!} and found some wonderful locations. We laughed a lot and I felt like we had known each other for years. She even had me in stitches!

Here's what we captured:

Special Fundraising Event for CarePartners of WNC

What an honor to be asked to photograph this very touching and moving fundraiser for CarePartners of Western North Carolina. The luncheon, held at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Asheville, was appropriately titled 'A Variety Show' featuring a theme based from many hit TV series between the 1960's & 1970's. They had an amazing turn-out and their contributors, many of whom, dressed up in different characters for the theme. The event was Emceed by Ken & Tammy in the morning from local radio station 96.5 FM. Sally, the superstar coordinator of the event, had many different forms of entertainment for the variety show, to include a Sarah Palin stand-up comedian, The Autumn Players, A belly-dancer, various singers and even a hoola-hoop contest!
