February 15 - 21

This week started off in Durham with a cold ice storm but ended with 65 degrees and sunshine. The spring-like weather came just in time to celebrate my niece, Minnie's birthday. And what better way to celebrate 3 years of life than a yard full of friends and baby farm animals?! (Farm animals provided by Farmer Mary & daughter, Elizabeth from Winterpast Farm; awesome and delicious pink horse cake created by Heather Warren of Yummy in my Tummy).

In the days before the party, Matt and I stayed busy dog sitting my dog brother-in-law, Gus. He's a massive golden retriever full of energy and snuggles. His slumber party kickstarted with a nice bath, which made for some fun pics and a very wet bathroom. His visit only peaked the puppy fever we have going on...

Midweek I was lucky enough to attend a retreat at the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro for a video project I'm working on for Ravenscroft School. More visuals to come on that later on.

The week ended on a high note with a super fun and energetic family shoot for Lou Goodmon's 5th birthday. If you're ever in need of unique and interesting pose ideas, Lou's your gal to consult!

Enjoy!

About the project:

If you take a look through my hard drives, you'll find folders and folders of photos, most of which never truly have had their time in the limelight. These photos are the result of some random moments that I caught while my camera happened to be close by, photowalks from around town, a beautiful instance where the sunlight hit a subject just right, but none of these times warranted a dedicated blog post or feature story on my website. Many of these photos I really like, but once they're snapped they sadly get lost in the digital abyss to be found months later when I sift through my earlier work just for fun.

To bring some of these lost images to the surface and make sure they get their time to be enjoyed by others, I'm embarking on a journey this year to share my weeks in photos with you all. Not only will this give me a platform to post the random beauty I see in the world during my day-to-day, but will also encourage me to once again bring my camera with me everywhere so I can be sure to catch those visions once I see them.
