Few artforms speak to the soul as deeply as those images that capture the moments of life. Missy McLamb’s paintbrush, however, just happens to be a camera, and her canvass, the wedding day.

On Friday, April 5, 2002, McLamb invites you to join her for an artist’s reception as part of Raleigh’s First Friday Gallery Walk. McLamb’s recent work in photography will appear at the flagship store for Mary Michele Apparel & Design from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m.

McLamb, an award-winning photojournalist, also will announce an expansion to the extraordinary approach to wedding photography she began in 1995: Missy McLamb Photographers. McLamb is introducing five associates and assistants based in locations nationwide who share the skill and style that has prompted so many of McLamb’s clients to recommend her to their family and friends ... Unobtrusive. Classic. Simple.

McLamb invites all those who appreciate artistry in photography to get to know her and her staff by paying them a visit at the new Web site for Missy McLamb Photographers, www.missymclamb.com, coming in May.
