Underwater maternity sessions are something I have been wanting to do. I love to photograph brides and grooms underwater and have photographed a professional mermaid in the ocean as well as a pool. I was so excited when Kathryn contacted me to create an underwater maternity session for her! Kathryn and Zachary lost their twins at 10 weeks into the pregnancy. This is their rainbow baby. For those that are not familiar with this term, a rainbow baby is the child that is born after the loss of a previous child that did not survive the pregnancy or birth. When Kathryn told me they were having a rainbow baby and that they wanted an underwater maternity session, I started to search for the perfect rainbow maternity gown for underwater. I discovered Picture Perfect Bowtique who created the rainbow dress featured in the portraits. After every storm, there is a rainbow. It gives us hope that the storm we weathered, made our faith stronger. The lord will bless us with a new life and love and our hearts are filled with joy! The purple dress used in this underwater maternity session was created by Sew Trendy Accessories To schedule your appointment for us […]

Melissa and Laura had a lovely LGBT Wedding and were married on Laura’s family farm where they produce cheese in Wisconsin. The barn had not been used in a few years and had been converted into a country store at one point but then closed. Melissa and Laura had a DIY style wedding. All the center pieces were wildflowers collected from the family property. The wedding bouquets and bridesmaid bouquets came from a flower farm in Milwaukee. Melissa’s sister and several of the bridesmaids put the flowers together into all the bouquets. The girls and their family purchased material to drape from the open beam high ceilings cascading them down. They used hay bales for their guests to sit on during the ceremony just outside of the barn where the reception was held. All their friends pitched in and hand painted the signs. They used mason jars with labels that they had hand written each guests name on. This was our first LGBT Wedding and I really had so much fun with these two, their families and all of their amazing friends! I look forward to photographing many more LGBT Weddings in the future!

Operation Smile was founded in 1982 when Dr. William (Bill) P. Magee, Jr., a plastic surgeon, and his wife Kathleen (Kathy), a nurse and clinical social worker, traveled to the Philippians with a group of medical volunteers to repair children’s cleft lips and cleft palates. They saw the need and Operation Smile was born. Operation Smile is now an international children’s medical charity with a presence in more than 60 countries that provides free life changing surgery for children and young adults who are suffering from facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate. PPA Charities (Professional Photographers of America) is a professional photographer’s association that works closely with Operation Smile. We have hundreds of photography studios across the USA that are involved with this fundraiser and donate their time and product to help raise money.

Engagement Sessions are so much fun! We love to do them. It gives us a chance to really connect with our clients and helps the wedding day run smoothly. Tia and Brice wanted a city feel for their engagement session so they chose Uptown Charlotte NC for their setting. We started at a place very special to them. Their first date was at Chima Brazilian Steak House. The restaurant was very accommodating and let us use their waiting area that had great seating and a fireplace as well as the stairway to the second floor. From there we went all over the city into the night capturing some fun images!! Their wedding is in September at The Bottle Factory. Tia and Brice have so much class and style. We really enjoyed capturing images that reflected their personality for them. For more information or to book your wedding and engagement session, please go to www.anormentphotography.com Special thanks to Chima Brazilian Steakhouse in Charlotte for the use of their space for part of this engagement session.
