Well, I’m stuck inside today on a beautiful sunny morning. For some reason, I’ve had severe allergies this season (I’ve never had severe allergies – booo!). Going outside is almost miserable, especially for long periods of time. So, I decided to start planning our veggie garden by looking for inspiration on some of the blogs […]

I had a terrible case of the Mondays yesterday. I wanted so badly to sit down at my computer and write this post, but it just didn’t happen. I have not had much time to think lately, but I have had a lot of talks. Talks with others and myself. Thinking to myself is different […]

Seasoned readers of the Three Eleven Photography blog are very familiar with Ruche. If I could buy one of everything in their store, I would. If you like delicate, feminine and vintage-style clothing, accessories or home goods, you will fall in love with Ruche. It’s as simple as that. I was ecstatic (to say the […]

I love Spring. I love the smells, the azaleas and daffodils, the buzzing bees (unless they get too close!) and especially the budding trees. The Bradford Pear trees are in full bloom right now and I searched all over Kinston for the best spot to do McG’s three year-old portrait session to include them in […]

My favorite people to photograph are my children. My daughter asked me during her three year-old portrait session yesterday, “Mommy, why are you always taking pictures of us?” I answered her with the obvious answer, “because I love you so much and you are so beautiful.” Later, though, I was thinking that I better be […]

Just let that sink in. It is not necessarily about someone’s death, but it could be bad news, frustration, a mistake you’ve made, guilt you are carrying, an argument… what is it for you? What are you mourning? Why are you wearing a sackcloth? Mordecai wore a sackcloth when he found out that his people […]

I’ve been looking for unique drawer pulls lately as I work on redesigning my workspace. I happened across this Etsy shop, riricreations. I’m a sucker for little birds, so you can see why I fell in love with their products. There are several items that could be used to adorn wedding reception tables or as […]

We almost had too much fun this February! McG’s Very Hungry Caterpillar Party was the highlight with lots of out of town guests. I also did my first “School Picture Day” for a local homeschool co-op with about 85 students. I went to Branches and Light and came back with a new look at my […]

This is such an exciting post for me! I am beside myself! I was asked to exhibit some of my photography in the Greenville Boulevard Starbucks in Greenville, North Carolina for the next few months. I have never been featured in a solo exhibit, so I was beyond thrilled when I was chosen. I have a […]

As a parent, I am soooo looking forward to the day that my children decide to proclaim their faith in Jesus Christ and get baptized. On Sunday, I was honored to capture thirteen people, many of them children, demonstrate their faith. Nothing is better than witnessing a new Christian stand with courage and take this […]
