Kernersville Living | January 2011 Edition

Back in November, Mike- the publisher of Kernersville Living asked if I would be interested in shooting their January cover story…. of course I was!! I promptly made a trip over to see Anna Carter at the First Christian Church Family Life Fitness Center. We chatted about all the different classes & front cover options. When Jeremy and I showed up a few days later we had a great time shooting there! It was nice to see all the sweat, fun & fellowship going on during workouts. It was a pleasure to photograph you all, and wish you lots of success in 2011! In lieu of payment, we trade out with them for an ad…. I was SO excited to see this in print! … we’ve already shot the February issue also, and can’t wait to share it with you all!!!

Hiking at Hanging Rock

We had a magazine shoot to do early Saturday in Kernersville, so we took the opportunity once we were done to go and do a little exploring up at Hanging Rock. Jeremy had never been to the waterfalls, so I thought I’d give him the grand tour….. I thought… oh it’s just off the parking lot, not far at all….. well, I guess it isn’t far, but when you’re in pointy flats with no socks…. it seems FAR! I am sure I got lots of strange looks from the hikers we passed in their full on hiking gear with walking sticks…. but I avoided eye contact with everyone we met on the trail. After all, I used to hike up to Hanging Rock once a week in flip flops, no biggie. ….. ok now, CALLING ALL BRIDES WHO LIKE “RUSTIC” PLACES…… This little shelter is on the trail, right off the parking lot…. maybe a couple hundred yards….. Someone please have a small wedding or elope here… and let us photograph it….. it’s SO ADORABLE!!! …. and then maybe head over to the Boat House for your reception…. I think it would be awesome 🙂 The view from the boat house is on the left…. it’s a stunning lake you can canoe or paddle boat on, with a beach to tan…. (fyi…. this would also be a great spot for bridals or engagement photos…. I’m just sayin’) (with the way the benches are arranged, it looks like their may have been a wedding here recently) ….. once again…. hiking in pointy flats is not advised, but can be done 🙂

Children | Sawyer

Sawyer…. What can I even say about this adorable kid, with KILLER hair!?!?! He was a little shy at first, but then warmed right up, and shared his trains, books and toys with us. The Kidd family have an awesome home with tons of beautiful natural light…. when you photograph in people’s homes you never quite know what you are in for…. dark rooms, unattractive furnishings…. NOT the case here! Everything was beautiful! And this is one lucky kid to have his bedroom custom painted, and his very own playroom right next door, complete with 2 train sets! OK…. on to the good stuff! One of my favorites! The next three images I think would make 3 amazing canvases to hang in a boys room or playroom…. I love the details & colors!! Thank you SO much, Kidd family for having us into your lovely home! Sawyer is just about as adorable as they come!!
