OH BABIES, Christine Rucker/Winston-Salem Children's Photographer

What a fun weekend. Surrounded by little people. I met Ava, the newest addition to Meadow, Jason and her new 3 brothers! And got to play with miss Lucy while visiting my friends Trish and Sam in Asheville, but not before doing a little yoga with mini-yogi, Channing.

2009, A year in review

2009 was bittersweet for me personally. Two friends passed away, but two friends gave birth to beautiful little girls. I pulled together some images from work, some from personal projects and many of friends!

2009 Wedding Season Sample

Below are a few weddings that never made it to the blog this season. I thought I'd take this opportunity to share some new work from this wedding season.

Landscapes of the Yadkin River

In one of my first blog posts, I mentioned the project myself and my writing partner, Phoebe Zerwick began earlier this year. It is partially supported by the NC Humanities Council and the WS Arts Council. Below are several landscapes I have made of the river I call home. The first image was made today.

Views from helicopter. Thank you Lew Nelson for taking me up!

Madeline!

My good cycling friend, Robin, wanted me to do some Christmas photos of her Daughter's new little one; Madeline. The shoot acually started in my studio, but then moved outside. Beautiful subject in that wonderful afternoon light. Thank you Robin, Megan, Zach and little Madeline for a great photo shoot!

The Pollock Fall Session

As you can see, my family sessions are about what  you do and feel. I will do one "traditional" family photo at the start of the session, then the kids (and me) are set free to do what they do best... be kids!  

Kira and Ben

 

Meet Kira and Ben. High school sweethearts that will be getting married in Oct. of 2010. They were  open,  comfortable in front of my camera and willing to take some of my crazy suggestions for photos  with a fun loving attitude! Congratulations guys! I hope you enjoy this post.

 

newly hatched!

       Welcome Channing. The 4th Miller! I hope you are ready for adventure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Matthew's Journey

Katina and Tom

If you have never experienced a Greek Wedding, I hope a few of these photos will convey the energy and excitement. All the families in the church help with the set up, flowers and best of all the incredible food!

Adam + Kelsey = Love

This Post is a bit late in coming, but what a great trip to Oklahoma on the 4th of July to photography Kelsey and Adam getting hitched! I met these two while photographing their "Aunt Jill" running the Leadville 100 in Colorado. We all took turns hauling my gear over Hope's pass to get photos of Jill coming over the mountain. They both had such great energy and I knew it was a matter of time before they got married.

GRETA!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meet Greta. Not only is she the cutest two year I know, but she is also the two year old of Matt and Megan who have designed this website. We started the morning with a few sing-a-long's of itsy bitsy spider, then moved on to blowing bubbles.

Casey and Brooke Engagement Session

We had a wonderful evening that started at Finnigan's Wake then moved our "gallery" sofa all over town and out to Shelton's Vineyards. We do aim to make our clients comfortable! And we ended up pulliing the studio out onto Trade street to enjoy the last of the evening shoot. All that and didn't get arrested for impeding traffic! Thank you Casey and Brooke for making it so fun!

Dog Days of Summer

I just want to thank everyone for coming out to our August art hop exhibit and photo booth: Dog days of Summer. It was alot of great fun and some of the proceeds will help a few dog rescue groups; Forsyth Humane Society, AARF and Project Racing Home. We plan to bring our lights, camera and action to Woof Stock on Aug. 29th. It is an all day event hosted by the Humane Society at Tanglewood Park from 11 a.m to 11 p.m. and will feature a ton of great music, beer and wine! (for the humans!) We hope to see you there!

Little Lucy

Two things I am pretty sure about :this little gal will be an incredible mtn. biker and she will be a dog lover!
