General « La Lumiere Photography – Wilmington NC Photographer, also serves Topsail Beach, Surf City, and Hampstead.

Welcome to La Lumière Photography!

Welcome to the blog for La Lumière. This is where I will post recent work, notify you about current specials, and just generally keep clients and friends updated.

About Me: I like chocolate, children, chocolate, laughter, chocolate, coffee, and taking your picture. Not necessarily in that order. Did I mention chocolate? Oh right, photography ... in all seriousness, catching that fleeting connection between people (you know, the one that makes you all warm and fuzzy inside) is just about my favorite thing in the world. Drop me a line, we'll chat about your photos over some coffee, share some laughs, but most importantly, we'll have a blast and get some fantastic photos in the process!

{More Blog Catch-Up!} – Wilmington NC Family Photographer

January 4, 2011

Whew! After a busy holiday season I’m finally getting back to getting the blog posts up and running again.

Up next is this beautiful family I had the pleasure of photographing just days before the father deployed to Afghanistan. Due to the lovely military scheduling, we had no choice but to shoot on one of the darkest, dreariest days that week! It rained on us the first few minutes of the session and we hid under my reflector and a gazebo, but then it let up and we were able to record some great moments for them!

PS – Parents, I’m starting a new blog feature in 2011! If you get 25 unique comments on this post (one per person), you will receive a free 8×10 of your choice!

Playing blog catch up! {Wilmington NC Family Photographer}

November 16, 2010

Hi all! I am finally catching up on blogging so stay tuned for some recent work over the next few weeks!

I’m kicking it off with this super fun family since I posted a photo from the session already! Spencer is clearly loved but I just don’t know how they keep up with him, he kept me on my toes the whole time! Isn’t that smile just melt-worthy?!

{Oh to have his energy!} – Wilmington, NC Family Photographer

July 29, 2010

Last weekend I met up with a lovely family and hung out with them for a little bit on North Topsail Beach. Spencer, even at five years old and 7pm, was full of life and energy! I wish I could tap into that, I’d get so much done!

I had to share a quick one – it’s one of the few truly genuine smiles he gave me for a head shot and I just grin every time I see it! I think the grin totally captures his zeal for the world around him.

I might even see a little twinkle of boyish mischief in those eyes. What do you think?

{Their Story} – Wilmington, NC Newborn Photographer

July 24, 2010

I’m way behind on blogging but I had to share this! I delivered this order on Thursday and it was one of my favorite sessions to date. The order captured their session and the love within their growing family so perfectly that it just made my heart happy.

This client purchased one of my collections, which are structured so that you’re not locked into a certain size/number of prints or products. Everyone’s photo plans are different and I didn’t want to limit the possibilities by asking a client to choose from a limited print option. They built their own photo package using the collection structure and saved a good bit of money versus buying a la carte in the process! It definitely tells their story, their way. What will your story be?
