check this article to see more on the Nine and how very special today is!

Just wanted to share...

So we have all been really busy as it is the season for love. I wanted to take a few minutes and share images of some of the amazing weddings and wonderful clients I have had the privilege to work with lately. I have to say that I am truly blessed with the best couples!

Nine's tiniest addition

Well last Tuesday Olivia decided to come and without hesitation! One minute I was watching David Letterman and the next minute I was holding her. It was the most amazing experience of my life! She was born on March 24th at 1:13 am (we got to the hospital after midnight!) and weighed 6 lbs, 8 oz and was 20.5 inches long. She is just the most perfect little baby girl.

I am beginning to adjust to the schedule a bit though getting much of anything done is so hard! I would rather just lie with her on my chest and breathe her in! Or if she is awake, I just want to hold her and look at her. I am trying to soak in every moment with her that I can because I know these days are fleeting and before I know it she is going to be talking and walking and too big to cuddle!

I did manage to take a few pictures of her and thought I would share a few.














I am sure more pics are to come!

Nine Photographer named best of Weddings 2009 by the Knot Magazine

For me, it is a great honor and priveledge to be named as one of the Knot Magazine's top wedding photographers in North Carolina for 2009. This is the 2nd year in a row I have received this mention and I am so proud! I work with some amazing couples and families and of course some of the finest professionals in the industry so without all of you, I would not be able to do this..., THANK YOU, THANK YOU for blessing my life with such amazing moments. I look forward to many great happenings this year in my photography work and of course many great weddings and couples.

Thank You!

I wanted to thank everyone who helped bail us out of jail. Between Audrey, Brie, and myself, we raised nearly $900 for The Muscular Dystrophy Association. Go Team! I want to thank Karen from Browns Floral Design, Shannon from Shannon Baker Events, Dr. Dave Richards of Richards Chiropractic, Gallery Minerva, and all the individuals who help make this happen. You are all awesome!

New Gallery

My studio, Castell Photography, will be opening the doors to our brand new space in downtown Asheville April 3! The 2400 sf space will function as a venue to meet with clients, a fully-equipped darkroom and work area, and as a strictly photo-based gallery featuring my own personal artwork, as well as that of other talented lens-based artists on a rotating basis.

I have joined up with the Asheville Downtown Gallery Association (ADGA) and my gallery will be in the yearly brochure and map they publish, and will also be a participant in the yearly Art Walks. These are scheduled for April 3, June 5, August 7, and October 2 from 5-8pm.

Please stop in April 3 from 5-8pm! The new address is 2 C Wilson Alley (we're right behind Limones Restaurant on Eagle St).

I look forward to seeing everyone!

Help Us Get Out of Jail!

Brie here, from Castell Photography... i wanted to tell everyone about a very special fundraising event Corey Cagle, Audrey Gofourth, and myself are currently involved with, a "Lock-up" benefitting Jerry's Kids and MDA. We'll be "arrested" Wednesday, March 25 and "jailed" at the Outback Steakhouse in Hendersonville. Our "bail" is set at $2400 each, so we are working hard to raise this money! All proceeds go to fund research, medical equipment, and support groups, and even provide a magical week of MDA Summer Camp for families served by the Association in our local area.

Donations can be made directly to any of THE NINE ladies, or online by clicking here. Everyone is invited to the Hendersonville Outback Steakhouse as well if you'd like to bring in your donation to the scene of the crime...

Remember, all donations are 100% tax deductible! There's nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

Thanks for your support!
