Sneak Peek! | Chapel Hill Photography

November 24, 2008 – 12:40 pm

I’m home again from a wonderful (and cold!) weekend working in Philadelphia, but not for lone since we close up for Thanksgiving tomorrow afternoon.  It’s a whirlwind around here and I am working tirelessly to get everyone’s order processed, placed, shipped.  Long hours, but I love it!

This session was so much fun since we started outdoors, played inside for a bit and ended up in a warm bath - sounds like an ideal day, right?  She was just as sweet as can be and didn’t flinch with all of our crazy ideas.   Thanks for a wonderful final holiday session!

November 22, 2008 – 11:32 am

Oh boy am I thrilled to share this one because I love it and I know you will too!  I love it so much that my next  blog give away is a one hour massage to White Dahlia.  Oh yeah!  (Winner will be chosen from comments left on the blog).  Who doesn’t need a massage these days?!

Name: Jason Abhau

A little about you and your family: I was raised in NC and went to Sanderson High. I married Jenny Craig from Sonora, CA in 1994 and we have five kids - Jackson 12, Jaye 10, Jensen 8, Jill 6, Joey 4.

A little about your business: White Dahlia Massage and Wellness. We opened the doors in August of 2006. It is a membership based massage studio. First timers may come in for $38 one hour massage. We have 14 licensed massage therapists that are very experienced. We do about 1000 massages each month in a relaxed environment. Open 9-9 M-F and 9-6 on Saturday.

How did you get started? White Dahlia was my creation and I ran it by my friend Sean Bates from Utah. He does websites and graphic design for a living and together we started building on the idea.

How would you describe yourself? I love massages! Who doesn’t. I talk a lot and some people think I am funny (sometimes).

Sneak peek | Gorgeousness (is that a word?)

November 19, 2008 – 4:13 pm

I hadn’t seen these kiddos in a year, which mean the littlest brother was just a newborn.  What a difference a year makes!  They are just so beautiful, the camera loves them.  We only spent a few minutes together for a mini session with a friend, but that was all we needed!

Sneak Peek | Christmas cuties!

November 18, 2008 – 10:22 pm

It was another cold morning but the girls toughed it out! We shot at their home so they could take turns running inside to thaw. But we had a blast, despite the chill and their portraits couldn’t be any cuter. They even slipped into their gowns from the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World for a few shots at the end. Thanks for a fun morning girls!

Sneak Peek | Blue eyed beauty

November 17, 2008 – 11:52 am

(A quick side note - I was supposed to be in Philedelphia wast weekend but instead we got a family stomach bug so the trip was delayed.  I will be in Philly THIS weekend, God willing!)

I love this little cutie, and it’s not just because she’s a photographer’s dream with big pale blue eyes.  She is just so sweet and spunky and full of spark that it’s a joy just to spend a few hours playing!  And she breaks out into dance at any given time, with no music necessary.  I mean come on, that’s just awesome!

Blog giveaways! | Supporting local businesses

November 15, 2008 – 10:46 am

I will have a few more blog giveaways before the end of the year and I am going to be giving away gift certificates to local (North Carolina) businesses. It’s so important to support local businesses (and please leave me a comment with the names of businesses you love so I can get them featured on the blog too!) and I want to do my part to help!  Some of the business I choose do sell nationally so you can still play even if you don’t live here in town.

…but the biggie is that I am giving away a free session with prints sometime soon so be sure to watch the blog - the winner will be posted here so you need to be reading to win! (Have you tried the Google Reader? Best thing ever!)

So just comment on any post on the blog and you’re in the drawing for all the goodies. The more you comment the better your chances because I will use a random number generator and find that numbered comment to choose a winner.

Woohoo for free goodies!

Sneak Peek | Teens and kiddos in downtown Durham

November 14, 2008 – 9:24 am

(Just a reminder that I am out of town until Monday)

This session was such a nice change of pace!  Mixing a big range of ages can be challenging so Mom had the great idea of going urban which worked just perfectly.  We had to get creative and in the end they look like the belong on a cd cover.  Love it!
