Irresistible Portraits: A+ Report Card Sessions

We offered complimentary 30 minute sessions to any student with an A+ report card a few weeks ago. Here were a couple of our gifted IP children that took us up on our offer!

Amelia finished 1st grade at Park Ridge Christian School and used her A+ report card to have an updated portrait of her and her sister, Claudia!

Kayla just finished her freshman year at South Rowan High School. She was proud to tell us she's 2nd in her class!

Good job girls! Keep up the good work!

Irresistible Portraits: 2010 Beach Photography

We're back from our summer vacation and Karen is ecstatic about sharing a sneak peek of the beach sessions she photographed during her week "off." We had five beautiful families to photograph - three at Sunset Beach, NC and the other two at Bald Head Island, NC.

Here's a glimpse into our faves. There's many more to see on our facebook fan page.

This is one of our faves from the Bald Head Island sessions. Beautiful place and a beautiful child...

Karen is ready to go back to Bald Head Island. Anyone up for a road trip?

We have more beach sessions available, later in July and in early August as well. Call us to see if our dates will work for your family! Don't forget, we're willing to come to your beach too.

IP Wedding: Myers-Doby [06.26.10]

Allison Myers and Mark Doby were married on Saturday, June 26th, in Winston Salem, NC at the Ardmore Baptist Church. Tara was there to record every detail of their day! Allison was absolutely gorgeous. Her eyes are breathtaking!

These newlyweds are true Carolina fans. From the wedding colors being carolina blue to their exit in the "Heel Raiser." Judging by the body parts in the back of the carolina themed hearse and the driver wearing a UNC football helmet, we were afraid for their safety on the ride to their reception at the Forsyth Country Club. (Just Kidding!)

They were a fun yet sophisticated couple! Take a look at some of our favorites from their special day - on our facebook fan page or our IP Weddings YouTube channel. You can also see a great sneek peak video from John of Southern Video Design on their vimeo channel.

We already received a sweet thank you through facebook! "This is wonderful!!! I can't wait to see all of them! :) Please tell Tara I said thanks!!!! :) " -Allison Doby

IP Wedding: Stiles-Lovelace [06.26.10]

Okay.... we admit we're a little behind on keeping you updated! We just returned from our summer vacation (July 5th - 9th), so now we're playing catch up. You'll accept our apology after you see these fabulous wedding images... promise!

On Saturday, June 26th, Christine Stiles and Nick Lovelace were married at Saint James Lutheran Church in downtown Concord, NC. The exterior of this old stone church is PERFECT for photography... and having a gorgeous couple to photograph helped too!

This image has a lot of significance to Christine's family. They have the same image of Christine's great-grandparents exiting the front of St. James Lutheran after their ceremony many years ago. Our job was to duplicate it! This is a wonderful tradition to continue...

The wedding party was so much fun! They rode a trolley from the church to the reception and Karen rode with them. She photographed some great candids of everyone preparing to celebrate at the Cabarrus Country Club!

Chelish Moore Flowers worked her magic once again. The flowers were a gorgeous colorful mixture to add a splash of color since the ladies wore black. And the country club looks amazing! Paper lanterns hung outside the entrance and accented the dance floor. It was gorgeous!

Shortly after the wedding, we received a thank you card from Nancy (Christine's mom).

"Dear Karen, Renda, and Jessica,

Words cannot express my heartfelt appreciation for you all. The calm and efficiency in which you perform your job is truly a gift. Christine, Nick, and I fell so great about your contribution to their special day. We thank you so much for all your many efforts and for helping us along the way.

Look forward to the finished product!

Sincerly,

Nancy Faggart

P.S. Jessica, Christine would not have survived the last 12 minutes to 'countdown' without you. You saved her day!! Thank you!"

Although it will not compare to what KA Studios captured on their special day, we put together a short video of some favorites from the day. Take a peek on our facebook page or on our IP Weddings YouTube channel.

You can see all of Christine and Nick's wedding day images online on July 31st. You can view and order the images online through August 28th. To access their images, go to our website. Click weddings, then client images. Enter lovelace (all lowercase) as your password. Enjoy!
