We love shooting using natural light but wanted to add some dramatic lighting to our ‘bag of tricks’. These two great photos were taken seconds apart from each other.

Oh and we added a few behind the scenes pics. It’s nice to dress in jeans for engagements and bridal sessions since it’s easier to get on the ground for pics. I (Kisha) do like to dress up on wedding days so Ben is the lucky one to get on the ground to get certain angles

I get so excited when we get amazing pics I just have to share them

Ben working his magic.Yes, I’m on the ground. Even though it was a little wet somehow I stayed dry. Skyline of our beautiful city of Charlotte. LOVE the blue shoes on the road!

As I turn 27 again (ok..ok…30) I reflected on my life, blessings, challenges, areas to improve and areas that are going well. In my daily life, like many other women, I wear many hats: mommy,  wife, teacher, sister, daughter, photographer, designer, Christian, cheerleader, and more… I decided I need to take 1 day a year and pamper myself a little bit and create images that would be one part of my legacy to my children. Everyone woman should take at least 1 day to look and feel better about themselves and showcase their true beauty. There is NO PHOTOSHOP in any of the images of me to make me look any skinner and they were all taken the same day – it’s all about having a great photographer (which I happened to be married to) that knows about to pose you well! I fell so in love with this idea and had such a wonderful experience that we will definitely be dong more pictures for women like my photo shoot! Stay tuned!

Entertaining myself while Ben picked up my surprise birthday cake!

My hubby Ben…when there is a camera around, of course I’m going to take his picture too!

My babies and sis surprised me when we went to dinner in uptown with some balloons! Aren’t my babies cute?

Rebeca wanted to pose too – future model

Joshua wanted a picture with mommy – yes, he def. look like me – Rebeca is all daddy.

Special thanks:

Thanks to my sister Lucyleen for taking care of our babies so we could go out to take pics and doing Rebeca’s hair, Joy for doing my makeup, Carmen my hair, Cloud 9 Bakery in uptown for my birthday cake and my hubby Ben for taking my amazing pictures and listening to me when I said (make me look skinnier – yes I say that too). Thanks to everyone that wished me a happy birthday on facebook!

Mena and Evan’s wedding was at the Greek Orthodox Church in Charlotte, NC. We just love Greek weddings because there is so much symbolism during the ceremony and the Greek dances are pretty cool.

Mena & Evan’s wedding reception was definitely the largest we had ever been to with over 700 guests. Their food was delicious, decorations creative and their cake was gorgeous. Mena & Evan reception was completely transformed for their reception. I will be writing a separate post about wedding details and how they can transform any place later. (stay tuned)

Irene and Andreas had a really fun wedding. Andreas’ brothers probably did the cutest toast I’ve ever heard. We first got to know Irene and Andreas during their engagement session in uptown Charlotte. Then, we got to photograph Irene’s bridals and their wedding at the Greek Orthodox Church. We really had fun doing the photo booth too. Here are a few pics. (more to come later – stay tuned)
