Fall is here, events and more!!!

I LOVE this weather- crisp cool mornings, really beautiful fall light. It is my favorite time of year to live as well as be a photographer! I am excited about how many things I have decided to take part in this fall- First, I applied for an art space in the Raleigh Wide Open Eventof Oct.24th and was just accepted. It is going to be such a cool, all day… into the evening, event to celebrate the official opening of City Plaza downtown- there will be an entire day of local art, music, food and activities. I will be selling my art photography- Polaroid transfers, notecards, and photography framed in recycled and modern frames. Look for me in the City Plaza!

The next event coming up is our Halloween Special! It is something I started with my first clients 14 years ago when I had my studio in a tiny apartment in Cameron Village. I never had any trick or treaters, so I asked my clients to bring their kids by and I would also shoot a few photos of them in their amazing costumes. It started a really fun tradition. We now have two full days starting at the crack of dawn until after way after dark where we photograph kids of all ages in their costumes every 20 minutes!!!- We charge a special  fee of $40.00 – we are booking this year on Friday, October 30 and Saturday Oct. 31st. There are not many spaces left, so call soon if you are interested!!!

And Last but not least…. The Hand Made Market! I found out this week that I will be a part of  this amazing market on Nov. 7th. This is at Marbles Kids Museum and it is the perfect place to shop for amazing locally made gifts! This market draws super creative artists, it is truly special! I am honored and so excited to be a part of it. Don’t miss it!!!

 

So…. I need to get busy! Yikes! See ya!

 

 

 

Ziabird

I am back from Wilmington- it was beautiful shooting on the beach this past weekend- a little hot, but beautiful! The Ziabird reception was so wonderful- my friend Lynn’s store is just what I dreamed it would be- a mix of 1920′s vintage inspired accessories and jewelry, and modern artist made clothing. And fabulous hats By Terry Graziano! I ended up with one of these after doing photos of the store and trying it on a few times! It was fun to see my portraits and Polaroid transfers in the mix of the shop! I met some great people too at the reception, there are amazing artists and designers in this world! I am so happy to be a part of it.

The shoot I did with Lynn in her store was fun- we had her sitting up on her display counter- the window light streaming in behind her- she looked like a 20′s movie star-  of course I shot film, so we’ll have to wait for the final results! I will post them next week.  After the shoot, it was an hour or two of friend therapy- I miss the days of just sitting with a great friend for hours talking about life- it was awesome!
