Dans and Cat

Earlier this year, my kid brother Danial married his long-time girlfriend and best friend, Catherine. Throughout my trip to the Carolinas, I snapped numerous shots of Catherine who (to my delight) was more than happy to be my model. 

On Christmas Day, I recruited her and Danial to be my models while they showed me around the property Catherine's family owns. While Catherine is wonderful to photograph, my brother is a pain because he hates having his picture taken so makes it as difficult as humanly possible to capture an image. Luckily, with Catherine and my coaxing, we were able to get my brother to behave long enough to get a bunch of photos of the happy couple.

I'm really proud of these photos and hope Dans and Cat enjoy them as well. :)

P.S. A handful of shots are from before and after Christmas day, but I threw them in because they were just too cute not to show. :)

Christmastime in the Carolinas

This year, my mum and I decided to head down South to spend Christmas with my kid brother and his new in-laws. They reside in a little town in North Carolina, but were sweet enough to drive us around to show us various cities in the state as well as some in South Carolina.

Most of my time was spent gushing over the fact that I was actually in the South about which I had read so many books and when I was taking photos, it was of Catherine's back and beautiful hair in various areas in the states. Nevertheless, I got a number of decent shots of the cities and nature of North Carolina and even though I realised I could never actually happily live in the South, I will definitely be returning for visits in future.

Here are some film, iPhone and digital shots of our trip various cities in North and South Carolina including WIlmington, Southport, Myrtle Beach and Charleston.
