Kim and Jeff

It was a beautiful Saturday morning at Graylyn in Winston-Salem, and Renee was there to capture the special day for Kim and Jeff. The mansion looked beautiful and so did they! They took off for Tahiti immediately following the reception...we hope they find an internet cafe so they can check out the blog!

The garter was handmade by Kim's mom...

two new toys

This week we got two new "playthings"... not really, but they are fun... one was a Scion xB to replace Jonathan's aging (1994!) Honda Civic, and the other was a new lens... a 50mm f1.8. It is a "fixed" lens, which means there is no zooming in or out out, we have to use our feet! The 1.8 means a couple of things... it will be great in low light situations, and it has a very shallow "depth of field", which basically means sharp in one spot, and rapidly getting softer from there.

Here are a few shots that show off of our new toys!

Nice lens flare!


cool logo...








love that shallow DOF!

Happy Birthday Renee!

update:
We had a few people over to celebrate Renee's day, she felt the love! A good time as had by all! Here are a few images from the celebration...

A sweet card from our favorite 4-year-old Mackenzie...


A sweet cake from Maxie B's...




Thanks to Frank for this shot!


Today is Renee's big day! She really has "blossomed", hasn't she? :-)
She wouldn't really kill me for revealing how old she is, but a gentleman doesn't do that sort of thing, does one?

Who else but a 3rd grade teacher could find something fun in a deformed white eggplant?
