My sister, Allie, graduated from college with a degree in Marine Technology this weekend! I am soooo proud of her, I don't tell her that enough. She is moving to Alaska to work at a salmon hatchery! I will miss her like crazy, but she is going to have the time of her life!
Here is my dad, my two brothers and our friend Bad Bob

My beautiful sister! Aren't her eyes AMAZING!!

A toast to the graduate!

My 13 year old brother, John, just got braces... OUCH! I don't miss them! But he is quite cute in them. :)

Kerrie + Jeff LoverBuns Session at Sanctuary Vineyards

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:41:00 GMT

These two were super duper cute!! Jeff was a bit shy at first but soon enough he was having a blast and throwing Kerrie around like a sac of potatoes! Hee hee!
I am soo excited to photograph their wedding this Friday, 8.8.08!! They are having dinner with everyone before their ceremony and then having their wedding at 8pm overlooking the sound in Duck, NC. And she is wearing a beautiful black dress! I love it!!! Stay tuned for those photos!

This is one of my favorites of the day... they are both sassin' it up and it looks like they are having a drinking contest. :) Hee hee.

I don't know how they did so much frolicking and didn't ever spill their wine, they're pros!! :)

Thanks so much! I really had a lot of fun! ~Carrie Roen

Here are several of my favorites from this super duper fun family. I just adored the babies, they are soo cute! Sandy and Mark got married in 2005, they had a gorgeous ceremony on the beach in Duck, NC. It was such a treat to meet Grace and be able to document their new family!

Thanks so much for having me play with you guys!!

Meet The Sloan Family!

They were up for anything!! We played in the ocean and they almost had an underwater shoot in the pool!! I think the munchkins got a little waterlogged. :) Hee hee. They made my heart smile!

They were such a fun family! I couldn't just choose a few favorites.... here are tons more!

Much love!!

I just received this from my past bride, Mary Jackson. They had such a fun wedding at the Corolla lighthouse, I can't believe it was 2 years ago!! Knowing that I am able to make others smile while even being thousands of miles away is one of the reasons why I LOVE what I do. Much, much love ladybug!!
"Hey, sugar!
Just wanted to say hello. Today is our two-year anniversary, and we are reliving our beautiful day! I’m sitting here in my office, and of course I have lots of the gorgeous pictures you took on my desk. I keep looking at them and wish I had the day off so I could remember without having to work! You were a big part of what made our day so happy, truly. Your photos were certainly magnificent, but having your delightful self present at the house, at the Lighthouse and at the reception was so much fun and something I will remember forever. So thank you, dearest Brooke, for making our wedding day so special that it makes me cry even two years later.
Much love,
Mary"

Beautimus Baby Fletcher

I have been waiting to meet Fletcher and he is even cuter than I had imagined! He was all smiles and giggles, he loves the sand and is starting to love the ocean. It has been a bit chilly lately but as soon as it warms up I bet you won't be able to keep him out!

Melissa + Menashe

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:02:00 GMT

These two have been together for 15 years and they just got married. They are a fabulous couple, constantly laughing and having a great time! There was no stress, just a super fun fabulous wedding and party. Melissa's dress even got caught on a vine while she was walking down the aisle and she just laughed. I loved playing with these two and their families. :) Thank you like crazy for having me!!

The Rabbi gave some of the best advice I have ever heard. He said, if you are ever squabbling with your sugarbutt, to strip down so you are both naked jays and continue the argument. He said that is the quickest way to end a fight because you will both be laughing so hard. I have so say I agree! He said this during the ceremony, so that is what began all the giggling. :)

Only here at our fantabulous Outer Banks would the glass be broken on a skim board. :) Hee hee.
