- As I mentioned last week, I collaborated for the first time with talented jewelry designer Rebecca Davis of Spencer Morgan Designs. I adore her work! It was fun to bring these lovely pieces to life. Well, let's be honest... plunk me down in an overgrown field with some old fence, random barns, my camera... and I'm a happy girl.
- Anyways, back to Becca, she makes handmade affordable one-of-a-kind trendy jewelry, and specializes in custom designs and updating old family pieces for a modern look.
- If you are in Charlotte you can see her goodies in person at the Pink Hanger boutique.
And.... if you are interested in hosting a trunk show feel free to contact Rebecca at rebecca@spencermorgandesigns.com ENJOY!

Meet Will. He is just about the happiest little guy I've ever met, and as we spent some time hanging out I sensed the joy that he brings into his little family. His laughter clearly lights up their hearts and how could it not? The pure beauty and innocence of this baby's smile and laughter could make even the grumpiest person break out a grin. That is the emotion that I can get lost in while photographing young children, and I have to thank little Will, for reminding me of that truth.
So with that being said, happy first birthday to this little guy... who is on the cusp of being a little boy, but still full of the snuggles and sweetness of a baby.
Amy, what a sweet session! You have a wonderful eye for human connection.

To me, photography is all about celebrating life... in all its phases and stages. Last week I had the joy of photographing my dear friend Ellen, her husband Terry and their soon-to-be baby girl. She captured it perfectly in an email she sent me the day after. And yes, I cried.
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. I am dancing around my office. Really, I wish you could see me - I look like a fool! These are amazing amazing amazing and I'd say "that's my favorite" then get to another one and say "no, that one" this went on for a while. :)
(09.18.09 @ 08:34 AM)I'm glad Amy was able to capture these beautiful BB moments in your life. That's "before baby." There will be times that you will need to look back at these to see what love used to look like before it started to exponentially multiply. You won't be surprised that you're my new background on my desktop!
(09.18.09 @ 01:20 PM)I love these! what a great couple!!!

(09.21.09 @ 01:17 PM)Amy, these are amazing!!! Ellen and Terry - yall are just as photogenic as ever!
(09.21.09 @ 07:23 PM)Ellen you are even more beautiful than ever. The pictures are fantastic. But more important they really show what true love looks like with the deep expressions between Terry and you. One can just feel the love between you both. This is going to be a very lucky "little lady" with you two as parents.
(09.22.09 @ 11:18 AM)Amy - we just love the pictures thank you so much for capturing this beautiful wife of mine. I just love seeing her glow and I can't wait to see her with our little girl she is going to be an amazing mother. I am so grateful that we have these sweet pictures to always remember how much fun this pregnancy has been. Thanks again!
(09.22.09 @ 12:58 PM)Love, love, love these pictures, every one of them is so beautiful!! What a fun photo shoot, great job Amy!
(09.25.09 @ 09:11 AM)Alyse Woodward featured Lauren and Matt's engagement surprise on her site, FUN! Alyse is a fabulous wedding planner so if you are a bride who is looking for someone to help make sense of all your to-do's... check her out.
I also just found out that one of my images was featured in the Sept 18th USA Today as a part of a special advertising section about Charlotte! Cheers to BooneOakley for the overall piece and for letting me shoot a little part of it! And if you haven't seen BO's new interactive site, you've GOT to check it out.
I'm excited to be joining forces with Rebecca Spencer of Spencer Morgan Designs to create some images that will help her gorgeous necklaces come to life! She creates the awesome one-of-a-kind vintage pieces that rock, and won't break the bank either! So until then, check out some of the lovely baubles she's got on her site.
And last but not least, to those of you who are football fans...stay tuned to NC State's media guide for one of my shots of their Athletic Director, Lee Fowler, and his simply beautiful family. This shoot was such an honor for me, and I'm so thankful to the Tucker Family for connecting me with them!
All this said, sometimes it takes a moment to step back and realized how much has been happening and just how blessed I have been in this journey! I just have to thank all my clients, my friends and my family who have supported and cheered for me in the moments (and there have been many) when I doubted myself or my dreams.
Just a tease of what is to come...
I LOVE IT!!! I can't wait to see more!
(09.17.09 @ 09:14 AM)OH. DEAR. MERCY. I may or may not have just started crying at my desk.
(09.17.09 @ 09:31 AM)please tell me one of these pics will reveal her name...
(09.17.09 @ 11:19 AM)Ellen thinks she's excited to have a baby girl. I hope she will love her as much as I have loved Ellen! Is this a cute picture or what?!

(09.18.09 @ 10:36 PM)I've fallen love with these images as I've poured over them and edited them. The three words that keep rolling through my head are... alluring.... stunning... elegant. Well, sprinkle in a little sass, because you can see that too in the twinkle of her eyes. Kelly - you rock.
