Dear friends, I hope you and your family had a wonderful month of April. Spring is a lovely time of year because it beckons us outside to enjoy all the treasures of new life. My azaleas, tulips and creeping phlox greeted us this month with their radiant blooms. Flowers have a way of capturing our attention, making […]

Dear friends, March has been a month full of celebrations! My best friend Carrie turned “40” and we went to D’Elegance spa in Raleigh for a massage and pedicure. I am still relaxed from it! David and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary and had a delicious meal at the Angus Barn thanks to my sweet […]

Dear friends, As I say goodbye to February the thing that stands out the most is this crazy weather! I don’t remember having this much snow fall in Raleigh. When I lived in Boone and West Virginia, cold weather was normal…. but not here in the south! We pushed my son in a big wheel […]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! That was the theme of this weekend in Raleigh, NC. My children squealed with delight as they watched the snow fall & accumulate over 5 inches! My 2-year old LOVED driving the sled because it had a real steering wheel. We played in the snow, sipped […]

Happy New Year! My heart is full of joy as I reflect on the blessings of the past year. I am thankful for each of you… for your friendship and for the privilege of photographing you and your loved ones. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving & Christmas. This was a very “stress […]

Dear Friends, Greetings from Susie Gilmore Photography! The weather is getting cooler and the brightly colored leaves make driving a joy. The road to my daughter’s school looks a postcard: horse farms and radiant trees line the road and whisper to me to take it all in. I’ve had to find my long sleeved shirts and […]

Dear Friends, I hope you and your family had a wonderful September. My youngest child, Micah, started preschool this month. He LOVES it and enjoys doing art, music, playing with toys and playing on the playground with his little friends. He did much better than I did. I was a little sad for a few […]

Dear Friends, I hope you and your family had a wonderful August. It passed too quickly for me. Our children are back in school and the carefree days of summer are replaced with packing lunches, car pool lines, and checking homework. August was a busy month for me. My daughter Grace celebrated her 8th birthday this month […]

Dear Friends, July has come and gone and it has been a wonderful month. We celebrated July 4th at my sister Julie’s lake house in Virginia. We spent a carefree weekend playing in the water and riding on their boat. My 2 year old son Micah actually went wakeboarding with his uncle Kevin….. you bet […]

Dear Friends, June has been a wonderful month. It’s hard to believe it’s already over. My oldest niece Kurstin graduated from high school on the 13th and we went to Winston-Salem for a big family picnic. It was like yesterday when she was two years old and I flew her around the house singing the Disney […]
