LOCAL LOVE: Portaits by Andrew Kilgore

So this past Christmas we treated ourselves to a session with THE Andrew Kilgore. If you are local, you are probably familiar with his name. He’s been around Fayetteville, shooting the city and its residents since at least the 70s. There’s even a documentary about him, in which President Clinton is interviewed talking about his talent. All of that aside, I’m just happy that we pulled the trigger and sat in his studio one cold night this past December. To have these images.. I mean. Just invaluable. It was terribly difficult to choose my favorites, but here are just a few. Most of these haven’t even been edited (even more of his magic comes from the prints he does himself).

LOCAL LOVE: The #MaudeWall

Okay, Fayettteville… Have you seen this wall yet?! Maude Boutique recently painted the entire wall behind their shop on College Avenue and it is magical! Iris and I were invited to take a few photos with the talented Jo Johnson, so of course we hopped right into the rainbow.

Anyone is welcome to stop by and take photos (it’s seriously an Instagramer’s dream), but if you’re in town this weekend, Maude is having a wall kick off event on Saturday, August 13. It’s free, but you’ll also have the opportunity to snag a mini-photo session with Jo Johnson Photography and all proceeds benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
