The Newest Addition to our Family

 

Until Tuesday, May 15, 2012, my husband and I had two dogs.  One was a blind 13 year old Cockapoo called Teddy, and the other was a 2 year old Maltipoo named Maggie.   We recently noticed that Teddy was slowing down and sleeping a lot which is understandable considering his age.  What bothered us was that Maggie was also sleeping a lot more during the day than she should have been at her age.  Occasionally, my friend, Marie, would bring her dachshund over to play with Maggie, but that wasn’t enough to keep her stimulated.

On Tuesday, May 15, 2012, we brought Lucy into our home.  Lucy is a 10-week old, 3.2 lb, female Cockapoo.  We now have three dogs.   Hopefully, Lucy’s bundle of energy will stimulate Maggie and perhaps even Teddy to play more.  We want our dog babies to have happy lives.    Here’s a few pictures of her.  They are not best quality, but cute anyhow.

Leesville Baptist Church MMO Preschool

 

My friend, Marie Fulcher, and I had a great opportunity to photograph some of the pre-schoolers at Raleigh’s Leesville Baptist Church this past April.  Wow, what an experience!  Try getting mostly two year olds to hold still to have their photos taken.  In order to accomplish this, the camera was on a tripod tethered to my laptop so that we could ensure that we captured acceptable photos.   I didn’t have my wireless remote with me, but that really would have helped.   Lesson learned:  Bring the wireless remote AND a variety of items to capture the children’s attention.  One or two won’t work.

The mothers all loved the photos, but only a handful gave us authorization to post their children’s pictures.   Here are two of the photos:

Corey Whitener is Graduating!

 

Corey Whitener graduates from Clayton High School on Friday, June 7, 2012.  His mom asked me to take his cap & gown pictures so that’s what I did on Friday, May 11, 2012.   Corey was a lot of fun to photograph.  He had fun cutting up and changing his expressions and poses.  Take a look at this young man’s cap and gown photos.

Timmy & Leigh’s Engagement Photos

 

Wow, it’s been a while since I have posted to my blog!  I promise to be better starting with this post.

My husband and I traveled to Savannah, GA the weekend of April 15, 2012 to shoot Timmy and Leigh’s engagement photos.  We spent part of the day at Forsyth Park and the late afternoon on River Street.  I presented the final prints to Timmy and Leigh at their engagement party on el Cinco de Mayo, May 5th.

Here are a few of the photos that were taken:

2011 China Trip Video by John Rash

 

In December 2011, my multimedia instructor at Randolph Community College, John Rash, bless him, took ten of us and himself to China for ten days.  I previously posted a few of the photos that I took in China to this blog, but now I have a new treat for all of you.  John Rash recently posted a short video of our trip on youTube.  I have embedded the youTube object code below so that you can view the John’s video without having to go to youTube.
