Wednesday night was the "Pink Party" hosted by The Velvet Nights at the EpiCenter's SUITE. It was jam packed and guests were having a blast with great music and celebrating Spring by wearing pink and enjoying "pink treats" all night! I love how people have been getting really animated for my pictures lately, it's cracking me upppp!!! Below are just a few photos from the event!

Mud Run Fun an 8K and 30 Military Style Obstacles

This past Saturday I participated in the Recon Fitness Mud Challenge at the Winthrop College Campus. I was on a team of four (3 guys and myself) of course I WAS the weakest link but the guys were extremely good at motivating me to "dig deep" and push thru. In the end, we placed 6 out of 69 overall so I was satisfied with that placement for now. Next time, I want an award! Anyway, after the race I was able to grab my camera and get a few shots for fun! Some were taken by friends and a few were taken by an official photographer of the race (credit below) Ver...nice!

In the picture above I'm still in the mood to smile for the camera because the race won't officially begin for another 9 seconds...


The first obstacle in the race, here we go! BTW, TSS Photography was at the event to take photos of the participants (me included). They do great sports photography here in Charlotte! Thank you!


Our team keeping it together!

Gettin' Dirty!

Our Team: Me, Brad, Trevor & Michael


My dog "Fusee" was there to cheer us on! She's the best Border Collie EVER!!!


We had enough people wanting to participate so we made two teams of four! This was a great event and although I swore to myself as I ran most of this race, I would NEVER do it again... I can't wait for the next one!

Wing Haven Gardens Bridal Shoot

Below are some of my favorite images from Friday's Bridal Shoot at Wing Haven Gardens here in Charlotte. I was able to work with Darren Casse of D&J Photography and Stylist Craig Ross for this shoot. It was a great opportunity to work with a stylist on a shoot because it gives a photographer more time to focus on the camera, lighting and several of aspects of shoot while the stylist can set poses and give some creative ideas of what looks good at specific location. I learned a little more about Charlotte and another of the many beautiful venues here in the city. The bride was gorgeous, she had a beautiful smile and overall fun to photograph! We had great weather and the setting was simply perfect! I used a few new (to me) actions with the colors, I think it turned out really nice -enjoy!
