This precious little bundle of cuteness is 6 month old Maggie.
And here is a funny outtake…
The forecast is calling for SNOW! At my house that means it is “SUGAR DAY”! Here’s the explanation: My son, Roman, loves to eat and let’s just say that he doesn’t miss many meals… It’s ALL about food with him. When he was 7, he declared that we will celebrate “SUGAR DAY” any time we have snow falling from the sky, which is a relatively rare occurrence here in south Charlotte, NC. On “Sugar Day” we can eat whatever sugary foods we want: donuts, cake, hot chocolate, and marshmallows, etc. You get the idea… The more sprinkles, the better! So in honor of what will probably be the last snow of Winter 2010, I bought SAS Cupcakes to celebrate “SUGAR DAY.” This one with the candy stick and sprinkles was just so pretty that I had to play with it before Roman ate it…

The Lupus Foundation of America held their 4th annual Mardi Gras Gala last Saturday night at the Extravaganza Depot. WOW! What a PARTY to benefit a worthy cause!! To see more pictures, go to www.whitneygrayphotography.com and click on GALLERIES. Then click on the “Lupus Foundation Mardi Gras Gala” gallery.
Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect various parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys. No one knows what causes lupus and it can be difficult to diagnose. In the US, it is estimated that at least 1.5 million people have it. Lupus can be mild or serious, but should always be treated by a doctor. (Lupus Foundation)
The band, Hot Sauce, rocked the house and had everyone dancing all night! PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC, WHITE BOYS!! 
Bustin’ a move…
Take a quick break from all of this color with a few black and white shots of my friend and famous keyboard player, Jason Atkins…
And a guest drummer sat in on a few tunes~ he rocked the house!

There was a tableau vivant~ a motionless theater performance similar to mime. Very cool!

Whitney – Thank you for so magically capturing our evening & supporting the 45,000 people in North Carolina that are living with lupus. Your generosity is changing lives.
Snow. It has caused lots of problems lately for so many people across the country. But I truly LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine… this is going to be a LONG post……..
Fox Farms is in Waxhaw, NC~ home to a menagerie of animals such as horses, miniature horses, llamas, dogs, and a donkey named Tina…
And of course there was some sledding and a few violent snowball fights… and some close calls on the zip line…
I don’t know why my nephew, Evan, always looks at me and smiles when he’s speeding down the hills. ????
This is my mom. Let’s just say that she probably shouldn’t be doing this but she couldn’t resist!
And here is my sister, Lauren…
This is the most depressing image. By 2:00 the sleds were like boats run aground. Nothing but mud left. Except the memories and pictures!
Until next time!

these are great. the pics with the lamas (they may be alpacas) made me laugh, just not something you see everyday in a picture. the shot of the sled being pulled is great, really pops out at you!
Gorgeous! No other words!
Wow Whitney, what awesome shots! You are unbelievable! Makes me want to head north with the family.
Your Mom is too cute, too!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Say “Hi” to Jim for me.
