UNC Campus in the Fall

I wasn't originally going to Chapel Hill this past weekend. I was going to shoot a wedding on Saturday, but it fell through. The only part that sucked was the fact that Chris had to go out of his way to get the stupid lens I rented and my friend Kathy was kind enough to take it back for me on Monday. I did manage to use it for a few shots on the beautiful campus of UNC.

Cupcakes and Chinese food makes me happy!

Cupcakes and fall leafs both make me very happy too! The flavor of the cupcake is Vanilla Bean and it is delicious!

Love it!

Halloween was here:





I think this is a cool building! This was my last stop before I headed back to Chris'. I got bit by mosquito's while taken pics, so I knew it was time to go! I didn't think they would still be around in the fall!?!?!

The one Church that I really would have loved to have been married in. Isn't it amazing?

Shopping & State Fair

Some of my good friends met me at the Church Chris lives at on Franklin Street. They arrived around 9am that morning. Amy had been wanting to go to the student store on UNC's campus to pick up a UNC plate for her car. We took a few pics by the Old Well before we headed over to the store.

Some of my buddies--Maria, me, Kay, and Amy

This is not my coffee....I don't drink coffee...:)

You thought I was holding coffee, didn't ya?!?!

Amy was in a posing mood! She wanted a few shots by the Well.

Oh how I love feet shots...

Fall is such a wonderful season!

Go Heels:)

Kay showing some real team spirit!!!

This Butterfly Chair was built in memory of Eve Carson.

Amy posing some more!! I love it when my friends volunteer to pose for me:) It really doesn't happen that often.

At first I wasn't happy with the shots from up top, but I ended up really liking this shot.

Chris' home sweet home...and my soon to be home sweet home!

Once we finished up in Chapel Hill our shopping adventure began. We shopped for quite a few hours before we headed out to the State Fair in Raleigh.

I love some Jesse Jones hot dogs!

For some reason this picture reminds of an Alfred Hitchcock film. He does have a movie that takes place in a fair setting, but I can't recall the name of it...hmmm.

We rode the Ferris Wheel twice, b/c there aren't many rides at the fair that don't make me vomit!!! We also rode this creepy roller coaster. It's probably safe to say that I will never ride a "roller coaster" at the fair again.

It was around 50 degrees out that night, so were were all really cold!

Out of all the rides at the fair, I hate this one the most!!!

I just thought this was funny...

Even though we were all cold and tired the fireworks showing was really great! I was impressed!

I wanted a Greg Fishel face:( He is our local weatherman and he trips me out!

If only I could have had my pocket wizards and my flash I could have lit their faces. Oh well!

I was all over the ground as close I could get to the cement. I guess my head was right up on some girls foot and I didn't even know it, that is why my friends are smiling so big! When Photographer's get in the zone we don't always know our surroundings!!

Time...

I do have updates I promise! I'm working on State Fair pics, Random pics, and pics from the weekend I spent with friends in SC. To add on to those I will have pics from the next two weekends to work on!!! There's always so much to do, but I always run out of time by the end of the day. Hopefully one day I will be able to edit my work full time and get paid for it:)

Etsy and more!

I love etsy!!! I have found a lot of great items on here for my wedding! It's a fun and creative site that sales homemade creations from artist and designers all over. Check out their website: http://www.etsy.com/!!!

I noticed that some of the trees are beginning to change!! I am so excited to see red leafs, but I will miss the beautiful golden Aspen trees! If only I could have both worlds at once:) A girl can dream...

I am going shopping and to the State Fair this weekend with some good friends. I also get to spend time with Chris and watch "The Office." It should be a fun weekend!!

Dog-sitting

I've been dog-sitting my soon-to-be in-laws for the past week. This is Broadus...he is a little sweet mess! The poor little guys cannot stand to be put in his pin during the day and at night. I've never heard noises like he makes before! I know he's is going to be really excited to see his mama!!! :)

As you might can tell there are 3 different lighting situations that I shot him under:)
