Fun Friday: For Photogs
Southern Pines, NC Lifestyle Photographer
This is SO COOL! For all of you stalkers out there who might be interested in improving your own camera skills, here is a really neat website I know you'll love. It's called the Camera Simulator, and it allows you to adjust the camera settings just like on an SLR and hit the "Snap a Photo" button to see what the adjustments will do! Have fun, be creative, and get out there taking your own photos! =D

Family Ties
Pinehurst, NC Photographer
In every conceivable manner, the family is a link to our past, a bridge to our future.
~Alex Haley
In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create; by the memories you share; by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another; and by the hopes of the future you have as individuals and as a unit.
~M. Kennedy and Janet Spencer King
It’s not what we have in our life, but who we have in our life that counts.

A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.
~Cardinal Mermillod
I see children as kites. You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground. You run with them until you're both breathless. They crash . . . you add a longer tail . . . you patch and comfort, adjust and teach. You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday they'll fly.
~Erma Bombeck
I had such a wonderful time meeting this family and learning a little about them. If you have been on the Face Book Page recently, you've seen some events listed for a little girl named Izzy. Izzy is a 3 year old fighting stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma. Please visit her Face Book page or her website to learn more about this sweet soul. There are also several local events where the funds will go to the Izzy Foundation. Please join me in prayer for this little girl and her family, for wisdom for the doctors, and for peace. If you would like to purchase a purple Izzy bracelet or donate to the Izzy Foundation, please contact me at OrganiquePhoto@yahoo.com for the address where you may mail a check, or click on Izzy's photo in the sidebar to be directed to her FB page for information on events.

Senior Outfit Inspiration
Sandhills, NC High School Senior Photographer
Hey guys and gals! If you need a little inspiration... just check out your favorite online stores! You'll find tons of cool outfits to suit your personal style. You can also take a look at my pinterest account to find even more inspiration!
large logos
words on clothing (in almost all cases)
stripes (yes, they really do make you look wider!)
patterns that are distracting from your beautiful face
~Don't forget to dress in complete outfits! Make sure you've got everything in your bag from your hat or scarf all the way down to your toes. Accessorize like nobody's business.
~Do clean up your nails. (Guys, too!) Take off that ratty old chipped polish! File those broken claws down! Stop chewing on your cuticles for goodness sake!
~Don't decide to get a hair cut the day before your session (or month depending on how slow your hair grows)! If you're thinking about changing up your 'do... please don't 'do it until after your session! It's just better that way in case you hate it! Make sure you have plenty of time for a fix!
~Do shave before your session! The 5 o'clock shadow and the day-old stubble will not be processed out of your images during editing... so unless you want it there permanently... shave it off! (And psst... guys, if you have a patchy beard that you like... trust me... shave it.)
~Don't dress like a hooker. Please please please get mom and dad to approve your outfits. After all, its their money that is being forked out for these pictures and I don't want to have any heart attacks at the viewing session.
~Do wear some makeup. Even if you're usually au natural... please apply some light powder and mascara to even out skin tones, cut down on shine, and draw attention to your eyes. Please bring along your arsenal to change up your makeup (and hair, too!) for a different look for different outfits!
~Do wear contacts to your session instead of glasses. If you must wear your glasses, or if you'd like them in your photos, please wear contacts and pop out the lenses from your frames (you might want to take them to a pro to get this done), or purchase or borrow a pair of lens-less frames. Glare from eyeglasses is just not very pretty in photos.
~Don't come to your session unprepared!!! A few days before your session, get all of your outfits together, laid out, look at them, envision them on you, or even try them on for a friend! You can also email me quick pics of your outfits so I have an idea of what your style is! Maybe I'll have an idea for a great accessory or something that would really make your outfit pop!
Here are a few other DOs and DON'Ts on what-to-wear:
~ Do bring a variety of outfits to choose from to your session. Pack for your session like you would for vacation: some casual every-day wear (jeans and a fave shirt) as well as something to go out on the town in (maybe a tie, a suit jacket or something with a little sparkle!)
~Don't be afraid to show your true self through your style and clothing. Rock the plaid, bright colors, patterns and have fun!
~Do try and avoid: clothes that are too tight (no one wants to see your muffin top!)
clothes that are too loose (we do want to see your natural shape!)large logos

stripes (yes, they really do make you look wider!)

Meet MA
I like long walks on the beach, poetry, romantic novels and candlelight dinners....
Nooooo, just kidding! ; ) I'm a Jesus freaky, down-to-earth, organic-ish eating, homeschooling, momma of four and a military wife. I love dark chocolate, sleep and pizza in that order. I have lots of tattoos and drive a mini-van. I am extremely fond of shoes and hot cocoa. I love a little southern charm, an open field, picking strawberries, and did I mention... I love chocolate? If you'd like to know more about me, I'm always willing to meet for a hot cup'a somethin' and chat!
