I have worked as a professional photographer in the digital realm for almost 10 years (and worked as a professional photographer using large format film wayyyy back in the 90s) and I have always been a Nikon girl through and through. It is what I originally learned on when I worked for a yearbook photo…
If you stopped by yesterday you saw that the site was down allll day and while it’s up now, we still have some kinks to work out (including updating the galleries with pictures from the last 5+ years ;-). I hope to have it all completed by the end of next week so please be…

Thankfully my kids, that usually sit RIGHT BEHIND THIS SHOT while I cook were not home this evening. My poor ruined dinner via Instagram. I bought a new, larger…
WRAL’s Out & About has compiled a huge list of things to do this weekend for St Patty’s day around the Raleigh/Durham/Cary area. To make things even better, the forecast says 69 for Saturday. Bestill my heart! I know there are more not listed on there too (like the Lafayette Village Irish Festival) but I…
