Photographs are one's legacy. They connect us to our past. They remind us of people, places, and the stories of our lives. They help us to know who we are. One of the greatest joys of being a photographer is creating images that will become family heirlooms.   We have been honored to be part of Alex and Eddie's incredible story. From their engagement session at BB&T ballpark in Charlotte, to their Wedding Day at the Holiday Inn Charlotte. And more recently, to their maternity and newborn photo session. We asked Alex and Eddie to share some details about how they met, their engagement and the decision to start a family. Let the adventure begin! Alex and Eddie have known each other for seventeen years. They grew up as next door neighbors when Eddie was 11 and Alex was 8. Their friendship grew as they spent afternoons playing basketball, swimming and roaming around the neighborhood. Eventually in high school they became a couple around 2008.

Don't let the winter chill keep you from planning your engagement session. The season is a perfect excuse to cuddle up close to your fiance. Plus, you can't beat the flattering natural light of winter. Your engagement session is the time to celebrate your commitment and love for each other.

Engagement photo sessions are an exciting way to celebrate your upcoming wedding. They make perfect photos for your save-the-date cards, engagement announcements and wedding day decor. An engagement session also gives you the opportunity to work with your wedding photographer before the big day. It will help you get comfortable in front of their lens and with their style. Many couples choose to include their dog in their engagement session, after all, they are part of the family. You want your photos to be natural and relaxing for them, as if it were any other day. Think about your dog's personality before choosing a location. If he or she is an anxious dog, consider your backyard. Your dog will feel more comfortable there. If not, a favorite park is a good choice. Angela and Glenn chose the tranquil Green Gables Farm in Statesville, NC. It is also their Wedding Venue. And what about the cat? The cat is a member of the family too. Cats might be more comfortable indoors...
