Here’s me shooting the details of Erin & Jeff’s Proximity wedding in February.

The Proximity has a lot of great mirrors.

Higs being a stand-in as I tested out lighting prior to bringing in our couple.

After a long day of having a camera shoved up against his face, Higs’s hair looks ah-mazing.

I shot the photo of Higs on the left while we were waiting for Haley to arrive for her bridals, and realized that it would be a fun shot with her.

Me shooting (in my bare feet for whatever reason), and my resulting image is on the right.

Higs working his magic.

I didn’t realize what a ninja Higs was the day we shot Haley’s bridals until I saw all three of these images together.

Higs, on the left, doing a fabulous job standing in while I tested lighting on our style shoot with Bella Upstyles at The Millenium Center in Winston-Salem. And my resulting image on the right.

After squatting to shoot, I looked up and this is what I saw: Higs standing right over top of me. See? Ninja.

Except here. He stepped into my shot. Not-so ninja-like.

Showing our beautiful model the image (on the left) that I just shot of her.

A little behind the scenes action during Corrie & Michael’s engagement session in Greensboro.

Not-so ninja.

After laying on my stomach in the middle of the road to get the shot on the left, I jumped up and Higs startled/photographed me. Nice.

Fun with shadows & mirrors as we wandered through the back alleys of Greensboro.

Left: me shooting their super-fun-one-of-the-best-receptions-ever. Right: resulting image.

I shot the image on the left and Higs was kind enough to catch my reaction to the shot I got.

And one of me during their Just Married session.

He’s like a sniper. A ninja-sniper.

Reception fun!

Me grabbing a few ring shots for Corrie & Michael at The Proximity.

See? Fun Proximity mirrors.

Catching all the details.

Yes, I stand on furniture. But at least I take my shoes off.

Me shooting a few young guests before the reception started.

And more reception fun!

I laughed so hard I cried after we took this self-take. And I still laugh every time I see it. I’m an idiot. He’s intense.

A few flower details at Stephanie & Mike’s wedding.

Another fun (and appropriate) mirror.

Isn’t he lovely?

Love that shot of Stephanie & Mike from their Just Married session.

Being in the center of a Greek dancing circle is quite dangerous.

A few behind the scenes of our Sex and the City-inspired style shoot with Bella Upstyles.

Love those girls! Higs is a lucky man.

Wedding day fuel before Jessica & Justin’s wedding at The Proximity.

Loved their Just Married session.

As we talked to people throughout the day, we found out that, ironically enough, Justin’s family is from the town neighboring our hometown back in Pennsylvania. And see the blonde lady in the center? Yeah, we found out that she used to date Higs’s dad. Super-small and strange little world we live in.

Love them!

Thanks to all of our couples for a wonderful, fun-filled year!

Stacey and I met earlier this year and bonded over our love of photograpy (boudoir specifically) and have since become allies in the business, sharing ideas, stories and even shot a few times together. She’s so sweet and incredibly talented. Her fun and energetic personality brings excitement and happiness to anything she does, and not only does she have a killer artistic eye, but she’s mastered being able to document life, emotion and beauty all at the same time.

We had a blast with her and here are a few of our favorites from the shoot, but you can see her entire blog post here: http://staceylynnstudio.com/blog

Be sure to check out Stacey’s portrait site and blog, as well as her boudoir photography– it’s beautiful!

Earlier this year, Nolan got a pair of safety goggles at a Lowe’s craft event for kids and he wears them all the time. At dinner. In the bathtub. Just because. So we brainstormed how to utilize the goggles in a Halloween costume.

And came up with: a mad scientist.

It was actually a really easy costume to put together. Found the lab coat at an online medical supply site. Detached the hair from an adult Halloween mask, then teased and hairsprayed the crap out of it. The bowtie was actually the hardest part. I couldn’t find one for kids in stores, so I made one from a girl’s hairbow.

Happy Halloween!

Shortly after, the kiddos joined me and we fed the seagulls.
