Batson Historic Site – Connestee Falls

Posted on: March 22nd, 2018 by Kathy King No Comments

Last Sunday afternoon was so lovely that I had to get out and explore the Batson Historic Site at Connestee Falls. The chimney is the only remaining portion of the farm structures, but the old road bed is still visible. What a treasure! The site is registered with the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology.

Addison and Kaitlyn

I had so much fun photographing Addison and Kaitlyn a few months ago. Our setting was South Broad Park near the Transylvania County Library (another of my favorite places). The girls love playing for the camera, making it difficult for mom and dad to select their favorites. Here are a couple from our day –

Love those girls with attitude!

Sisters!

Samantha and Emery – Best Friends!

Posted on: December 8th, 2015 by Kathy King No Comments

Best friends are so special! Samantha and Emery have been best friends for as long as they can remember (since 1st grade, I think). We had so much fun commemorating their friendship during a photo shoot during the Thanksgiving break, and learned some fun facts about them both! Samantha’s family is planning a move next summer, but I’m sure these two will find plenty of time for visits. Love you girls!

Let Them Eat Cake – Wedding Cake!

Let Them Eat Cake – Wedding Cake, That is!

Brides – and grooms – are busy planning spring and summer weddings, so a post on wedding cakes seems appropriate. Plus, wedding cakes bring some color and cheer to these snowy, wintry days.

Wedding cakes come in all sizes, shapes, and colors, not to mention flavors. When photographing summer weddings in Texas, I saw cakes whose top layers shifted, and everyone who noticed said a little prayer! Fortunately, that problem doesn’t seem to be as prevalent in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

To brighten your winter day, enjoy these images of some of my favorite wedding cakes.

And now for a few groom’s cakes!

Hanging of the Greens – St. Philip’s Episcopal Church

Posted on: December 24th, 2013 by Kathy King No Comments

Yesterday afternoon, parishoner volunteers met at St. Philip’s Episcopal to begin the “hanging of the greens” in preparation for Christmas Eve services. The preparations continued Monday morning with the delivery of the poinsettias. With the greenery, the special music, and the mysteries of the Incarnation, Christmas services will be very moving.

Enjoy the images! Merry Christmas!

Madi and Dustin!

I was so excited to photograph Madi and Dustin’s wedding in Dallas on November 23rd. Madi was a beautiful bride, and she and Dustin are such a perfect couple. The ceremony and reception were held at the Filter Building at White Rock Lake, and although it was blustery day, we managed to fit in a few outdoor photos. What a wonderful, unique venue! We enjoyed spending the day with Madi and Dustin and their families. All of the guests enjoyed the day too, as was evident by all of the laughter, dancing, and celebration.

Here are a few “sneak peeks” from Madi and Dustin’s big day! The rest of the images will be available next week, and Madi will have the log-in information.

Enjoy!

Waterfall Workshop!

Posted on: October 28th, 2013 by Kathy King No Comments

Last week, I was delighted to participate in a waterfall photography workshop sponsored by Bluewood Gallery in Brevard, and led by photographer Ken Voltz. Transylvania County is home to numerous waterfalls, and Ken selected some of the best for us to photograph. For the adventuresome, some of these locations would make excellent backdrops for senior or engagement portraits! Here are a few images from the workshop. Enjoy!
