Nicolette+Tom // Pittsboro, NC Engagement Session

Nicolette and Tom love the countryside. And because we love Nicolette and Tom, we put on our bug spray and tick repellent and braved the high grass of a private farm in Pittsboro with only moderate bug anxiety. It was hot and humid and I did find a couple of ticks on me (bonus points: only reacted with mild shrieking and was able to get them off before they bit me), but these guys are so freaking adorable that it didn’t much matter. I’m convinced you could place Nicolette and Tom in front of a scene of terrible destruction and mayhem, and they’d make it look really good. Nicolette is currently living in Connecticut where she’s a songwriter and musician with her sisters, and Tom is currently stationed in NC with the Marine Corps. After they get married they plan on possibly moving to Nashville, eventually, where they’ll up the attractiveness level in Tennessee by 25,000 points.

Sara+Sam // Couple Session.

We were so honored to be asked by Sara and Sam, two amazing photographers behind McCormick and Moore Photography in Holly Springs, to shoot some promo shots for them as well as an updated couple session in and around their house. They have four cats so we said absolutely (we would’ve said yes anyway, but sometimes I need the blog to sound dramatic). We got to meet some of the cats (including, briefly, Lady Esmeralda von Poofington, the best cat name of all time), and we also got to teach Sara and Sam how to appropriately name the plagues and diseases that you’re spreading through the world in the board game Pandemic (it’s no fun unless you name them). They like a lot of games and a lot of good tv. Sara likes reading and making jewelry, and Sam likes cooking and the numbers 6 and 28. But when they’re not being awesome at home, they’re being awesome out taking pictures of families, pets, and kids at their photo business, and we couldn’t be happier to be asked to take pictures of these two photographers!

Amy+Jon // Engagement Session in Durham

Amy and Jon “…are Californians who hail from Los Angeles but we are not snooty and we hate juice fasts.” :) I can’t speak for the juice fasts, but they certainly aren’t snooty and are up for practically anything. They’re happy-go-lucky people who just happen to be really really pretty. Despite moving back to California this month (this time to the San Francisco area), they wanted to have engagement pictures taken in Durham since it means a lot to them. They moved here when Jon decided to attend business school, and together they adopted their first puppy and got engaged. So even though they’re moving back, they’ve come to really love Durham and see it as a big part of their relationship. They wanted nature, tall trees, skylines, American Tobacco views, and urban city backgrounds. So we ran around the Eno! We hopped around downtown! We did all this without anyone contracting poison ivy and only running into only ONE instance of urine around an elevator! :D You can’t ask for a more successful session than that. ;) So with these pictures we bid a fond farewell to Amy and Jon and wish them the best of luck returning to California. Durham will miss you!couple walking in woods west point on the eno west point on the eno durham engagement session in the eno couple holding hands walking engagement photographs couple walking through the woods engagement portrait in the eno couple hugging in the woods couple laughing west point on the eno couple laughing west point on the eno durham engagement photographers black and white photo west point on the eno couple standing by water couple sitting on log west point on the eno engagement session west point on the eno engagement session downtown durham engagement session silhouetted engagement photo durham skyline durham nc skyline durham engagement photos durham engagement photographers durham portrait photographers downtown durham engagement session quirky engagement portrait engagement portrait durham nc couple laughing downtown durham downtown durham couple walking couple in alley portrait in durham alley couple walking couple standing by wall creative durham photographers durham engagement session
