Senior photo session

Last Sunday afternoon I did a senior photo session with Kelsey. We took pictures at two locations in Raleigh. One in downtown Raleigh. It was definitely a joy to work with Kelsey! I absolutely like taking these kind of photo's! So much fun!

Little brother, again...

I already talked about his big sister. But here are some of her little brother......

Waking up is a hard thing to do.... Even when you are 10 days old.

Just too cute! This one was later on used for the birth announcements.

And of course a picture of him and his big sister had to be taken.

Really such a cool little brother, right?

The new little brother




"This is what he looks like! And you hold him like this! He is really, really small, you know?"

Loved chatting with Nina about her little newborn brother. Just so sweet!

Southport a safe haven

Yesterday I picked up the book of Nicholas Sparks called Safe Haven. Old school style, real paper back and all. I'd read about that they are making a film of this book this Summer here in NC.

So yes I have to admit, I love Nicholas Sparks books & movies. The Notebook, highly ranked in my movie top 10. And this books tells a story that takes place in the seaside town called Southport in North Carolina. Recently the local news told about how they were going to be filming the 4th of July parade and it's celebrations in the small town.

And I just can imagine how great this is going to look. Two months ago, I've visited the town for the first time and absolutely loved it!

Downtown with all the little shops.
Lovely homes and beautiful gardens.
Nice views and beautiful old trees in the streets.
So just so you know, what I'm reading this Summer, I'll be seeing on the big screen next Summer!

Wisteria

Today I went to the J.C. Raulston arboretum at NC state University in Raleigh. And among many blooming flowers and beautiful blossom, the Wisteria was the eyecatcher for me.

Photobucket

Such an impressive flower. The color of it is so intense.....

Serene Elegance

Photobucket

I really like the serene look of a swan. The elegance ....

Photobucket

It looks like the water around it even notices that and stays calm and tranquil too.

Washington DC in color

The National Mall is under extreme construction at the moment. So no beautiful reflections in the reflection pool to be seen. Or a great landscape picture of all the lines and angles from the Abraham Licoln memorial towards the Capitol building. But.... the old trees on the Mall were untouched and loved how the snow sticked to their branches.


The National Mall


The Canadian geese were still around too....


Prepare for take off

The Capitol, just after sunset.

The colors were just magical. Must have been the cold night and the icy water that made it look like this.
