THE FRENCH CONNECTION | HEATHER + PHILLIP

This couple finds their origin in the vineyards of France where Phillip studied winemaking in the region of Bordeaux while Heather, completed her Master's degree from NC State University and studied abroad in Provence, France.

Extremely photogenic with a powerful chemistry, this talented, young couple really exuded love and adoration in every sense of the words.  We even asked if this was their first time doing a photoshoot together, and they said “yes”.  Astounded by their response, we asked a couple more times throughout the session just to confirm that it was indeed their first time collectively posing before the lens.  The hardest challenge for us was culling through the images to select the best.  Well, as you can see below, every captured moment was just ridiculously beautiful….

WALTER MAGAZINE | THE DIAPER TRAIN

There's a new train in town and it carries extremely precious cargo...diapers!  Co-directors Allene Adams and Cameron Ellerbe are helping to reach as many parents in need as possible with through their program, The Diaper Train, which is affiliated with Saint Saviour's Center on Tucker Street in downtown Raleigh.  These ladies and other volunteers give tirelessly of themselves every Tuesday and Thursday by providing diapers, wipes, and gently used books to families in need.  We were so moved by the organization's mission and efforts that we signed up to become volunteers to help give to the hundreds served in a two-hour period.

Adams and Ellerbe are always in need of volunteers and donated diapers. If you or someone you know would like to volunteer and/or donate, please contact The Diaper Train.   Check out the online version of the story for the November issue of Walter Magzine as well as a few of the original images captured from the shoot below...
