Durham!

This past weekend, we went to Durham to hang out with Brian and Leah. It was an awesome time as always, with wonderful food and plenty of good laughs.

While there, we decided to help Brian attack his pregnant wife by setting up an impromptu photo studio in his garage.

 

A few flashes and umbrellas… a white sheet for a backdrop, and a reflector and a sheet to cover light coming in through the garage door windows… not a bad little setup for something quick.

After we took a few shots in here, we decided to head out to the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. Website Here. Not to brag on myself or anything.. but look at their website.. then at my pictures.. I think we know who the winner is here.

It was rather lovely to walk around there for a while… and Leah being pregnant took the pressure off… Normally Leah and Brian love to hike and hike and hike… this trip was more of a leisurely stroll through the gardens….

Brian – Getting the shot.

We had a good time walking around… took lots of pictures… and it was really nice weather. There was some sort of prom going on… so there were tons of high-school aged kids walking around in fancy dresses and tuxes… there were Limousines pulling up… it was chaos. but.. in a good way.

The flowers were also blooming over at Leah and Brian’s house…

Once again, it was a wonderful trip… always good to see friends… just a dang shame that they live 4 hours away.
