Nikki + Jim | Maternity | Lake Norman Photographer

Nikki and Jim probably have the sweetest love story I've ever heard! I remember when I first met Jim he told me about him and Nikki and they're love story, and I instantly fell in love with them! They were friends first for about 9 months, then became boyfriend and girlfriend in March of 2010, then after 4 months they got engaged on July 16th!!!! Nikki's mom has been seriously ill for some time now, and Nikki & Jim wanted to have her at their wedding so after 6 days (yes, 6 days) of being engaged they got married!! I mean you can't find a truer love story than that!! I just remember feeling so happy for Jim when I first met him, that he was able to find true love, and married his soul mate in such a short time perid. So to top of their love story, this April Nikki and Jim found out they were pregnant!!! They'll be having a baby boy this December around Christmas!

Nikki and Jim, thank you so much for allowing me to photograph the two of you!!! Ya'll are some of the greatest people we've met while down here and I couldn't be more grateful for it. The two of you are beautiful people inside and out! Thank you again for everything and I can't wait to play with baby JT!!!



































Thank you again and thanks for being my first North Carolina clients!!!

Leather Craftsmen | Sample Album

I did it! I finally made a sample album!! OK, so I had a LOT of help from Katelyn for pulling out my name from the FREE Leather Craftsmen Album drawling! It's a great thing I attended her Sugar Shoot workshop! I also need to give a HUGE thank you to David from Leather Craftsmen for helping me complete my album. Without him I couldn't have done it. He went above and beyond my expectations! I will forever use this company.

This is my first time ever making an album, and I gotta say I love the final product! I'm not sure if I'm more excited to have a Leather Craftsmen album, or that I'm offering the album to all my future clients! I've been wanting a sample album to show to my prospective clients so they'll know what they're getting.



This album is a 10x10 Black Euro leather with 30 sides (15 pages). It also has the names of the couple and the "wedding date" on the front.
