This morning I had a photoshoot at the Duke Mansion it was for the magazine and covered The Humane Society of Charlotte. I've come to know and love these ladies. There is always a fur baby around that is to die for cute and smiles and tears are shed. I'm glad there wasn't a super sad video today of any tortured or abused animals. Instead they decided to focus on the "after." After they were found, after they were fed, after they were treated and loved. There was a dog there today who had a pink rolling wheelchair contraption. Decked out in pink and cheetah print no less. The most adorable little thing. Got to catch up with Kelly who I don't get to see enough and she is doing much better. She looks less stressed and back to her normal bubbly fun loving self. We mentioned doing lunch sometime soon and I just can't wait.
Today I got to see one of my philanthropy lovelies as I so lovingly like to call a group of individuals I see on the circuit a lot. Today's pick was Mrs. Maureen O'Boyle, many might know her from A Current Affair, Extra, a few movies, and now an anchor on WBTV. She works with numerous charities, including the American Red Cross, Assistance League of Charlotte, Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, American Heart Association, Dress for Success, Community Blood Center of the Carolinas, and The Humane Society Charlotte chapterI on the other hand know her from photographing her a whole lot and sitting down here and there and swapping some stories of coming from a big family as opposed me having a big family. She is really one of those people when I first met I was afraid she might not be nice, or maybe "a diva," but all the stories of her being nice, down to earth, and just simply a peach were all true. Love seeing her on a shoot I know she will smile big for the camera help me with some shots of there are large celebs there she knows, and really I just like catching up with her and hearing all about her fam and fur-babies :)
This was us earlier today. Now I am in photopost until later on today and tonight is actually the Cam Newton, Kids Rock Gala. This should be fun. I'm slated to shoot the big afterparty. Should be a fun night. Just wish the weather wasn't so amazing, I want to be outside! After tonights shoot I have to come home charge the batteries and go to bed. I have a 5k/10k to photograph at 645am! :)
