Christmas Caroling with NKUMC

North Kannapolis United Methodist Church along with its 4 legged members went Christmas caroling last Sunday at three local nursing homes - Five Oaks, Transitional, and Morningside. Christmas caroling can brighten anyone's day, but the furry ones were just as impactful. The faces lit up with excitement when Millie, Luke, Pixie, and Lil Bit came around the corner!

Here's a few powerful moments...

Winter Wonderland Children's Event for the Cabarrus Boys and Girls Club

Last Saturday, Karen volunteered in photography at the Festival of Trees benefiting the Cabarrus Boys and Girls Club. The Miriam Hayes Society hosted this 4 day event at the Historic Concord Hotel.

Saturday's theme was Winter Wonderland Children's Event. The hotel was filled with dozens of gorgeous, themed decorated trees. There was face painting, crafts, and visits with Santa.

Karen photographed each little one as they told Santa all their wishes for Christmas morning. Here's a couple cuties to share...

This cutie even brought the catalog to show Santa. No mistakes this year, Santa!

Special Thanks to Tarin, Karen's helper for the day! We appreciate your hard work.

Irresistible Portraits donated a 4x6 portrait of each child in exchange for a $10 donation to the Cabarrus Boys and Girls Club. From Santa portraits alone, over $400 was raised! That's a good start!

Cook-Zoltanski Reception

I'm sure you remember Mark and Miranda Zoltanski from our recent destination wedding. They held their reception for all their family and friends at the Waterford Hall at Galway Hooker Irish Pub in Cornelius, NC.

This venue is a great location in the lake area. The Waterfod Hall has a unique, upscale atmosphere.

The guys were jealous of Miranda's attitude in her bridal portrait. Needless to say, none of them could beat hers, but Pappaw was the closest! (To see more of Miranda's bidal images, check out our facebook fan page at www.facebook.com/IPbyKG.)

Check out this fabulous cake! It was as delicious as it looks. Nona Sweets (in the University area) was responsible for this creation.

The night consisted of dancing, singing, and "oohing and ahhing" over the couple's images from their big day in Key West. It seems as though everyone had a great time celebrating with the newlyweds.

It's been an absolute pleasure working with Miranda, Mark, and their families throughout their engagment and wedding festivities! We hope it doesn't end here. We want to photograph little Zoltanskis in the future!

Miranda and Mark's wedding images from their cruise and their reception will be available online this Saturday, December 5th. Take a peek!
