Shepard & Spencer

My boys were in a good mood today, so I thought I would take advantage of it and get some shots for Momma. Shep is 2 months old now and moving into the fun stage where all he does is giggle. Life is good!

Prince Awaiting a Kiss

A prince made an appearance at my Castle McCulloch wedding yesterday apparently looking for a kiss from a young maiden. I tried to explain to the poor prince that he had just missed the princess (Tori) and that she was no longer available.

This was not a setup shot by the way. I just happen to walk by and see the little fellow setting there patiently.

Spencer's Graduation

Last Sunday was Spencer's graduation from preschool as we are preparing him for kindergarten in the fall.

Yes, his mother cried.

Amanda & Tyler

If you ask me to describe grace, then the word Amanda is at the front of my mind. Amanda & Tyler were united in marriage May 16, at Duke Gardens in Durham with the reception at Chatham Winery. Just about 30 seconds before Amanda was to walk down, the heavens opened and let me tell you it poured the rain. So, here she comes on time, no umbrella with nothing but a great big smile on her face even though water was literally running off her veil and wet dirt was splashing the bottom of her dress. Amanda and Tyler spent the day laughing in love.

I was up way too late last night, I just could not wait to get a few images ready to share, it was a great day indeed. Sweet.

New Fee Structure

After receiving feedback and suggestions from my clients I have implemented a new pricing structure that I think you will find to be straight forward, simple and effective. Instead of multiple "packages", there is now one fee for any given wedding with the ability to upgrade your options. I am extremely excited with the new structure which will make it easier for you to customize your service.

The information has also been updated under the "investment" category on my main website www.bertreed.com Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Baptism Day

This past Sunday was a special day for the Reed family. We celebrated Shepard's baptism and introduced him to the church. Spencer stayed right by his side the entire time as Spencer is a dedicated big brother and wanted to make sure Pastor Tim was "easy" with Shepard.

Slip-n-Slide Time Is Here

Finally warm enough to break out the slide, Spencer will run up and down that thing for hours. Even Shepard ventured outside for a little bit today. Good times!!

I have been kinda slack about updating my blog, but scroll down for all my newest adventures. Big update.

Castle McCulloch Carnevale Promo Session

Little Jacob

I spent Thursday afternoon doing what I do best...playing in the park! Kids are so much fun, no matter what is going on in my day they still make me laugh. Jacob is also the grandson of the best wedding planner in the business Carol Rinehardt. Check her out at www.Idoetc.com

Danielle & David

Danielle and David were married April 18 at Pine Grove Baptist here in Archdale on a sunny warm day. Two of the most soft spoken, kindest people, an absolute pleasure.

On a side note, Danielle's father owns Sheet's Automotive in Archdale, be sure to give him a call if you are in the need of any car repairs.

Gabby & Jay

Gabby and Jay were married April 4 at 12 West Main in Thomasville, NC. Gabby is an absolute
sweetheart and her family treated everyone like family. Here are few images from their day.

Piedmont Triad Ambulance

I was enlisted today to photograph a new Ambulance for Piedmont Triad Ambulance where my wife Cindy is a paramedic. I am truly proud of Cindy and the great people she works with. On a regular basis I get the honor of working with paramedics, doctors, nurses, fireman, and police in their weddings or with their children. I don’t have the words to express the gratitude I feel to these fine people who perform an extremely difficult job that are not paid nearly what they are worth.

I don’t tell my wife enough that she is my HERO!

New Family Member

We welcomed to the world Shepard Harrison Reed, Wed. afternoon, 8 lbs. 5 ounces of pure joy. Big brother Spencer is about as happy as my wife and I. By sheer accident Shepard and Spencer share the same birthday, March 25, exactly 5 years apart. Baby and Momma are doing just fine, we greatly appreciate all the caring words and gifts we have received over the past couple of days, thank you.

Watching my children being born reminds me that God performs miracles on a daily basis. That moment when a baby first breathes air is about as close to heaven on earth as you can get. The hand of God at work.

3 weeks (or less) to go!

With less than 3 weeks to go before our new little one gets here, I was cutting this session with my family a little close, but finally got some good weather. I had a fun evening with what I consider my best friends and to finish off the day we all went for pancakes...life is good!
