A "White" Christmas

2012-01-13T17:17:00.000-05:00

Ok so this is a little late in posting, but better late than never. You may remember my post this past summer on Avery's two year old photos. Her mom and my friend, Kate, approached me about designing her Christmas cards. I couldn't resist. We had planned out this lovely Christmas tree shoot immediately. The angel in the right represents their daughter, Lucy, that they lost this past summer. Such an emotional photo with so much hope and light still.

"Ring" in the New Year!

2011-12-31T16:20:00.000-05:00

2011 has been a huge success for us. My name has grown not just in the state of Michigan, but I have become welcome in North Carolina too. My clientele this year ranged from friends to new clients. I'm so happy to be able to share my love of photography with everyone willing to let me in their lives for their special moment. I'm currently booking for 2012. Message me for rates and details. Don't worry if you don't live in Charlotte, travel is welcome. Especially home to Michigan :) Thanks again to all my new friends I've made can't wait to continue viewing your lives through the lens of my camera. Here is to 2012, a bigger and better year!

Here are some of my favorite ring shots from my latest wedding to help you "ring" in the new year.

Katie and Jason

2011-12-05T22:57:00.001-05:00

I was so happy when Katie reached out to me to shoot her maternity pics. Her and Jason are very sweet and I love how stylish they are. Makes these shots look amazing. Seriously what pregnant woman do you know wearing heels and a killer dress like Katie. Love the vintage look she went with, absolutely love! I'm so happy to be able to share these with you. Hope you love them as much as I do. Can't wait to meet little Easton in the coming months :)

Christyn's Bridals

2011-12-05T22:40:00.001-05:00

These images have been on lock down until this past weekend. Christyn and Scott tied the knot on Saturday, December 3rd in Isle of Palms, SC. I was glad to be a part of their wedding day. As a photographer I'm always on the outside shooting in, but Christyn, Scott and their amazing family made me feel so welcome. Their love for not only each other, but everyone close to them blew me away. I've never seen such a family brought together with love as much as they have for each other. I'm glad I was able to witness such a beautiful weekend. I wish you both happiness in the Dominican Republic this week :)

Fall Colors

2011-10-24T20:51:00.000-04:00

I ended up having an open day on Sunday so my better half and I made a last minute trip to the mountains. We missed the peak leave season, but there was still a lot of color to be seen. Here are a few of the shots I was able to take. Gorgeous may be a bit of an understatement.

Jen + Louie

2011-10-22T21:32:00.000-04:00

Today I was able to spend the afternoon with Jen and Louie in gorgeous McDowell Park. I had been nervous all week since Charlotte has seen some cold and wet weather the past few days, but we had the perfect weather today. Absolutely gorgeous! Jen and Louie were fun to shoot and it helped to have their moms cracking jokes behind me to keep us all laughing. I'll be photographing Jen and Louie's wedding next fall, but here are their engagement photos. I love the fall colors.

Jillian & Troy

2011-10-18T08:18:00.000-04:00

Here is an engagement shoot I've waited to post for a few months now. However, after going through the images I couldn't resist not sharing with the world. Absolutely love the woods texture through these photos.

Hayes

2011-10-08T18:31:00.000-04:00

Meet little Hayes. She is only six days old. She surprised us all and came early, but so glad she did. She is absolutely adorable and so glad I was able to meet her. Here are some shots that I did earlier today of this dimpled angel.

hair bling

2011-10-01T16:56:00.001-04:00

Ok so this isn't technically photography related, but since I am behind the design of these I had to share to all my brides to pass these along to anyone they know interested. As some of you may know I have an etsy store called "Coco & Bubbles" and until now had been producing children products. Yet, after producing a fascinator for a wedding shoot I fell in love with the process and the finished product. After some major hours invested I finally am releasing my new products. There are six currently in my store, more to come, but wanted to share with you now. Just imagine one of these in your hair wedding day...gorgeous! Visit http://cocoandbubbles.com for more information.

Jessica + Matt

2011-10-01T15:00:00.000-04:00

I photographed Jessica and Matt's wedding on September 17th in Dearborn, MI. I've known Jessica since we were 15 as we both worked at the same restaurant. We have stayed in touch over the years and was honored when she asked me to be her wedding photographer. It was nice visiting Michigan during the early fall days and enjoying cooler weather and familiar faces. Here are some previews from their day.

Zayd + Ayden

2011-10-01T14:27:00.002-04:00

I was lucky enough to schedule these twins as one of my mini-sessions. They weren't feeling so well that day, but they did great and these photos are proof. Really excited to share with you Zayd and Ayden.

Riley – six months

2011-10-01T12:08:00.006-04:00

A few weeks ago I was in Michigan photographing a wedding so took the opportunity to hold mini-sessions at Kellogg Park in downtown Plymouth. I was excited to meet up with little Riley again. She has grown so much just from the last few months when I had seen her last. I love her fall themed photos.

The Twins – Blake & Caroline

2011-08-27T09:00:00.000-04:00

I'll let the photos speak for themselves on this one <3

Emily and Dawson

2011-08-22T00:40:00.005-04:00

Meet my nephew and neice, Em and Dawson. Adorable and enough said!

Riley

2011-08-22T00:36:00.002-04:00

Meet little Riley! I went to high school with her mom and was excited to catch up when asked to shoot Riley's three month pictures. Even had her model some Coco & Bubbles' headbands

Christyn & Scott – Love Shoot

2011-08-21T21:58:00.006-04:00

I was so excited to do this shoot. Christyn is a co-worker/friend of mine and we have talked in prior months on if she were ever to find the man of her dreams and get engaged I would shoot her wedding...weeks later she did just that. Now only knowing each other for a few months they are getting married in December, and they are the cutest couple. Their love for each other just glows in these photos and I was so happy to be a part of this for them. I'll be photographing their wedding in Charleston this December so can't wait for that either! Another aspect I'm excited for is designing their invitations, this has been something I've wanted to do for awhile and love that they are giving me the opportunity to start with them. Anyways enjoy these shots, they are absolutely adorable!

Vanessa & Keith, July 16

2011-08-21T21:49:00.003-04:00

I was so happy to be asked to shoot their wedding. I went to school with Vanessa and Keith and haven't really spoken to them (if you don't count Facebook) since we graduated in 2004. Vanessa contacted me last year to do their engagement pics, which we had a blast shooting at Hockeytown Cafe and in downtown Detroit. I was thrilled when they came and asked me to shoot their wedding too. It was like a mini high school reunion seeing them again and then all the friends that invited or had standing up in their wedding. I'd love to be known as the official alumni photographer ;) Here are my favorite shots from their day!

Heather & Scott, July 8/9, 2011

2011-08-21T21:44:00.006-04:00

I had the pleasure of shooting my second Heather & Scott couple this year. This time the wedding took place in Clemmons, NC in Tanglewood Park under the Oak Tree. After a bit of a scare with the pouring down rain the clouds opened up and held back the rain for just enough time to get the ceremony in. It was gorgeous! Enjoy some of my favorite shots from the day.

Heather and Scott

2011-06-17T22:05:00.004-04:00

Meet Heather and Scott Holcomb! They just tied the knot June 4th, 2011 in Michigan. It was a gorgeous summer day and these photos are just a few to prove it. Enjoy.

Diva Couture

2011-05-15T15:48:00.004-04:00

Today I had a blast photographing these models in the making. They were modeling the gorgeous designed dresses from Diva Couture. Such a fun shoot!

Happy Birthday Audrey!

2011-05-15T15:45:00.003-04:00

It is baby month for LBE Photography. This week I got to photograph my good friend, Patrtice's baby girl, Audrey. Enjoy the preview of this little ball of energy!

A baby is on the way!

2011-05-15T15:43:00.004-04:00

Ok so this has got to be the cutest way to announce a pregnancy. Lucky for me it's my co-worker and we are planning on doing the baby is the size of produce images. This week the baby was the size of a pear, next week an onion then a potato and so on. I'm hoping to form a collage at the end of her term to see how the baby grew over the weeks. Anyways enjoy this little piece of cuteness!

Easter Pics

2011-04-30T09:11:00.004-04:00

So I got the chance to meet up with little miss Kynlee to do an Easter session the day before Easter. She was one of the happiest babies I have seen, laughing constantly.

Miss Emma

2011-04-10T17:19:00.012-04:00

So I got to enjoy the gorgeous Sunday afternoon with four month old Emma. She was a pleasure to photograph and this may be from her experience in pageants. Did I mention Emma just won Grand Supreme? Obviously from these photos it is easy to see why she won. Anyways it was definitly a joy and looking forward to her next shoot. She is also sporting some Coco & Bubbles' original headbands that can be purchased at

Charlotte Wedding Connection

2011-03-20T21:39:00.009-04:00

I survived my first trade show ever! Hard to believe it has already come and gone. After much work and lots of baking here are some shots of my booth at The Fillmore!

Love the overall feel of my area!

This is an idea that I had that somehow actually made it to reality thanks to Bryan and a late Saturday night :) These are wood posts that we made and a framed picture along with two canvas wraps and a gatorboard sign hanging from them.

My brochures! They are accordian fold brochures which means I had 10 sides to place images and information for all my brides. So much better than your traditional tri-fold brochure.

Now for the table. I personalized it with a pop of color and some really neat, ornate frames. Those brown paper bags are custom printed and what's inside you ask? A brownie made by me. They were delicious.

Bridal Show

2011-03-13T15:25:00.003-04:00

I'm gearing up for next week's bridal show. Trying to keep my head on straight as all the last minute details come together. Banners, posters, prints, frames, pipe & drape and the list continues. If time allows cookies will be on that list too! If you are in Charlotte and are newly engaged come see me. The show is Charlotte Wedding Connection bridal show on March 20th and it will be held at The Fillmore in Charlotte. Show starts at 1PM and goes until 4PM. There will be many vendors, giveaways, hand outs and even a fashion show, so spread the word and come visit me!

I'll post pics of my completed booth after next week. Can't wait to meet all the new brides.

Heather & Scott

2011-01-02T14:45:00.003-05:00

I've known Heather since high school and was honored when she approached me a few months back to be her wedding photographer. Her wedding isn't until June 2011, but when I found out we would both be in Michigan over the holidays I convinced her and her fiance to do an engagement shoot outside. We were all a little skeptical and it was a chilly 25 degrees out on the shoot date, but they turned out fantastic. Here is a preview of their snow shoot!

Miss Bella

2011-01-02T14:40:00.005-05:00

I had the pleasure of shooting Bella at her home over the Holidays. She is one energetic little girl, but we got some really cute shots!

Sharla

2011-01-02T13:15:00.005-05:00

Meet Sharla, she is a cute, adorable 4 month old. I went to high school with her mom, Berkeley, and jumped at the opportunity to get a few shots of Sharla in. Enjoy!

Vanessa & Keith

2010-10-16T12:38:00.004-04:00

I met up with Vanessa and Keith last Saturday in Detroit for their engagement shoot. We all graduated from FHS together (class of '04) and I haven't seen them since graduation day, so it was a pleasure to catch up. They both haven't changed from what I remember, Vanessa is still sweet and gorgeous as ever and Keith is still a lot of fun to be around. My mom tagged along and Keith had my Mom laughing throughout the shoot. It was a lot of fun, not to mention the great opportunity we had to shoot at Hockeytown Cafe (www.hockeytowncafe.com). Here are some shots of their shoot.

Andrea & Patrick

2010-10-16T12:31:00.004-04:00

Ok, so if you scroll back to my first blog post you will see Andrea and Patrick a few years back. I've known Andrea from our Our State days and have kept in touch ever since. I was elated when she asked if I would shoot her and Patrick's wedding. They got married at Briar Chapel in Chapel Hill on September 18th, 2010. This is my first bride I've taken the engagement pics and wedding pics for so they mean alot to me. I'm really happy to share these images, I hope you enjoy them =)

Alexandra & Jimmy

2010-10-16T12:25:00.004-04:00

I was lucky enough to be a part of Aleks and Jimmy's Lake Norman wedding (thanks to Bryan). They tied the knot at a private residence off of Lake Norman in Cornelius, NC on September 11th, 2010. Aleks was gorgeous in her dress, and the weather turned out perfect after a few nervous showers earlier in the day. Here are a few images from the wedding day.

Monica & Eric

2010-09-06T11:28:00.003-04:00

I was lucky enough to become Monica and Eric's wedding photographer, thanks to friend and past bride, Sarah. I traveled a few short hours to the coast, Myrtle Beach to be exact. The day had turned out perfectly for us, and everyone was great. The guests and bridal party were all a joy to be around. I truly had a blast shooting this wedding. Not to mention how gorgeous the images turned out, enjoy a preview.

Mitch & Megan

2010-09-06T11:22:00.004-04:00

Meet Mitch and Megan, possibly the cutest couple ever. I've known both Mitch and Megan for about two years and it is clear they are in love. I'm so happy for them.

Monica & Jonathan

2010-07-25T18:45:00.005-04:00

I have known Monica since she was born. We grew up together so I was ecstatic when her dad approached me to be her wedding photographer. Monica and Jonathan had their wedding in Tennessee. It was like a family reunion for me to see all of the familiar faces I haven't seen in a few years. I was even thrilled to be asked to be in a few shots, an unpopular request for wedding photographers. I'm really happy with how these turned out, let me know what you think!

Atlantic Beach

2010-06-14T00:34:00.004-04:00

I was pretty excited when I found out I booked a beach wedding. My first. Atlantic Beach was the perfect backdrop for this simple backyard wedding. I am hoping this wedding will open up many more beach weddings for me to photograph. Maybe I can even get a mini-vacation out of some of these too? Anyways, here is a quick storyboard featuring the highlights of the day.

Miami

2010-04-16T22:08:00.003-04:00

Went to Miami for the Homestead NASCAR race this past year. After driving for nearly 12 hours I decided to venture out on my own and get some pretty awesome shots. A little late posting, but better late than never. Wish I was there now.

Mr. Corey

2010-04-16T21:59:00.002-04:00

So I met with my good friend Patrice this past weekend and had the opportunity to snap a few shots of her adorable son, Corey, and her baby bump. Can't wait to see the new addition!

Carolina Heat

2010-04-16T21:44:00.004-04:00

Ok so the winter season has been slow in terms of photography. In terms of life it has been busy, relocated to Charlotte from Greensboro and started a new job as Associate Art Director at Charlotte magazine. Now that I am settled again I am jumping back into my photography, starting with the Carolina Heat. I was asked to photograph a few of the players and they all wanted the same look..."bad-ass" football players! I hope I achieved it, enjoy.

Sarah and John Part II

2009-10-08T06:53:00.005-04:00

Sarah and John

2009-09-29T23:45:00.007-04:00

Sarah is a good friend from high school that I met up with after a few years. Luckily I was able to shoot her wedding, it was fun to be there photographing it, and being able to share in her memories of her big day. She found her perfect match, John, and I say perfect because of the Wolverine stickers stuck to not only his but his groomsmen's feet. Here is a preview of their gorgeous Michigan affair!

Farley & Ben — July 25th, 2009

2009-08-02T23:51:00.005-04:00

It went off without a hitch, perfect in all aspects. Here are a few preview shots from their country affair in Gibsonville. Enjoy!

Carson

2009-05-20T18:20:00.002-04:00

Ana and Abby

2009-05-20T18:08:00.004-04:00

Jade and Cheyenne

2009-05-20T18:05:00.004-04:00

2008-09-29T22:42:00.006-04:00
