February Downtown Cover

I just finished two pieces for Triangle Catalyst Magazine. Each are designed to offer readers a quick, but comprehensive look at the changing faces of both downtown Durham and Raleigh.

The information is slated to appear as part of the cover story for the February 2008 issue. Check out the magazine online at www.trianglecatalyst.com

Awesome Orchids

I recently finished an interview with the owners of Orchids by Hanks Chapel Greenhouses in Pittsboro. They are a mother-son team, and just wonderful to spend time with. I had a blast taking photos of the several hundred species of orchids housed in their two greenhouses. My story and photos will appear in the December issue of Southern Neighbor Magazine. Just for fun, here are some of the shots I took. I love some of the colors … so vibrant.

Yarn Shop Feature

My piece on the Hillsborough Yarn Shop dropped earlier this month. I had a great time hanging out with all the ladies at this quaint shop back in late October.

My First Entry!

I’m so excited to finally have the time to get this blog up and running!

I wanted to add this element to my Web site to allow clients the freedom to see my most recent work, and get to know me a bit better.

So here is a quick rundown:

-I LOVE the beach! So much so that my fiancé and I have decided to get married on the sands of the North Carolina Outer Banks in July 2008.
-I have been writing since I learned to read. Just ask my parents, who have plenty of my earliest attempts at the art :)
-Photography is my other love. It’s something I really got into while still in high school. As you will see on my site and my blog, it is not too often I’m without my clunky bag of camera equipment.
-I am an animal lover, and the proud owner of a very hyper Jack Russell Terrier. His opposite, a pure white Tom Cat, enjoys nothing more than to sleep 23 hours a day. (He has to get up to eat sometime).
-If I have the free time I am traveling. Whether it’s a day hike, weekend trip to the beach, a football game or a weeklong stay in the Caribbean – I’ve never been one to sit at home.

Anyway, there is just a bit about me. I look forward to sharing more about me and my work in the months to come. Thanks for taking the time to consider my services. Hope to work with you soon!
