WALTER MAGAZINE | THE 13 TREES OF CHRISTMAS

You can say we've been on a little bit of a sabbatical from blogging and such and this time of year always proves to be even more chaotic. As photographers, parents and people that love life, we are still learning how to balance work and life, but we think that's a never ending challenge that most of us continue to navigate.  Nevertheless, we are so excited about Christmas especially now that Raegan is almost two and just adores decorations, trees, lights, ornaments and really all things Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas, we are elated about our feature story in the current issue of Walter Magazine.  We were both able to shoot the gorgeous residence and Christmas collection for one of Raleigh's most spirited holiday homes. You may remember that we scored the cover and feature story of Walter last December, which brings a huge smile to our faces all over again:)

Founder and President of the Preiss Company, Donna and Kirk were both very welcoming and engaging as they shared stories, moments and memories of their travels across the globe securing each and every Christmas ornament along the way.  Every delicate and unique ornament had a story, which made our photoshoot incredibly intriguing.  We love to capture stories of people, places and things, but these lovely thirteen trees and accompanying ornaments hands down speak for themselves.  Take a look for yourselves.  There were so many to choose from, but here's a snapshot of the collection.


Just all around lovely!

Why not have a couple of decorative trees outdoors on your porch!


This was by far the most amazing upside down tree we've ever seen!
The storage and filing system for each ornament could be another photoshoot itself..wow!


No caption needed.
Royalty redefined.

O CHRISTMAS TREE...FARM!

O Christmas Tree...O Christmas Tree....It's truly the most wonderful time of the year for most who carol over all things Christmas.  We were out and about on our date day frolicking around Lafayette Village after having lunch and stumbled across this storied Christmas tree farm, Parker's Big Meadow Mountain Christmas Trees.  We met with one of the owners of the family owned and operated business and shared our story with them.  After a brief conversation and complimentary exchanges, we were off and away through the trees, clicking and hiding...hiding and clicking.  If you are still in need of a beautiful Christmas tree, go visit one of their four locations.  Tell our new friends at Parker's that Khris and Carla of Timeless Photojournalism sent you :)
