Shop Bellas!

Earlier this month I worked with the owner of Bella's Boutique. I produced images for her product line of handbags, jewelry and accessories. Her online gallery Shop Bellas is scheduled to open early 2010. Be sure to sign up for her mailing list! Her items are Bold, Colorful and Sassy! Here are a few of my favorites.

Charles and Linda- II

Charles waited for Linda to arrive in the US for a long time, as she completed her education abroad. She finished and arrived here just this past May. He was determined to be with her. So on August 22, they were joined together as one at the Ghana Mission United Methodist Church in Charlotte, NC.

Here are a few of my favorites...

Charles and Linda

This past Saturday I witnessed the colorful wedding ceremony of Charles and Linda. I do not have the words to describe the beautiful union between these two friends who have now became one. It was an afternoon filled with African traditions (both are from Ghana), family, love, singing, dancing, friends and plenty of laughter and prayer. Thank you both for the opportunity!

Enjoy Life & :)!

Introducing Carrie B!



A song writer that "was put on earth to spread love through music" is how she describes herself. A voice of pure love is what I thought when I heard her sing. Her is she... Miss Carrie B.








Before moving to Charlotte, she says she was raised in a house where music was not played. She had to create her own world of music. She began with a CD by recording artist Mariah Carey, who she refers to as her "first teacher" and she has been going since then!



Carrie B is working on her first album entitled, "Mission: Fantastic". She works with producer/manager Elvis Danne and musician Smitty of Charlotte, NC. Mixing Reggae and R&B sounds together this trio is working to take the QC by storm.




Enjoy Life & :)!

Future Mr. and Mrs. McClendon

Memorial Day Monday I had the pleasure to capture the special moments between the future McClendon's whose wedding is scheduled for early 2010. It had been clear all day long up until the evening when we were scheduled to begin the session. I suspected a "rain check" would be in order as I drove through a thunderstorm to meet them at our location. However at the last minute the weather changed! Happily, they were able to spend the next hour together in what turned into a beautiful "rain forest"; allowing me to capture some of the images below! More to follow... Enjoy Life & :)!

Salon Bella

From the hard wood floors to the colorful wall art and matching room decor, Salon Bella and Spa is designed to give women a feeling of comfort from the moment we walk through the door. I had the opportunity to photograph the Charlotte, NC salon owner for an article layout in the May/June issue of Real People magazine. Here are some some the images that were captured.

Class of 2009!

This year a lot of graduations are taking place. Congratulations to our 2009 seniors!!

I had the opportunity to capture a few moments of a young man preparing to embark on his college journey this fall. As we walked, took pictures,
talked, took more pictures,

laughed, and took even more pictures,

I could see him reflecting on the steps that were climbed to get him to this day. We had a great session- my seniors are always full of life and expression!!

I told him I was going to create an Event Catchers® Show on DVD for his mom. He claimed he was a little concerned about her music selection :) So I told him to let her enjoy her selection and in return I would create something different for him :)

After all, this is His Year... Congratulations DJ!!

I'm Aleshia Lamelle and I'm The Event Catcher!



When I tell people about Event Catchers®, I usually get an "Ah Ha" moment from them. As simple as it sounds, I am an Event Catcher! I capture your event by catching the candid moments of emotion that occur during births, birthdays, communions, christenings, engagements, weddings, maternity shoots, anniversaries, family reunions, business promotions and really so much more...
What's your event!


I am a personal photographer capturing your most precious moments in a photojournalist way that is thoughtful and full of details. If you know my work-- you KNOW I get the details!! If you know me, you know my personal dedication and passion toward photography. I want your moments captured-- After all, they only happen once in a lifetime, no matter the occasion. As commom as birthdays are, do you know anyone who has celebrated a birthday twice? They are all different aren't they? Why not document them...



I capture these moments -- with you in them! How many times are you at an event taking pictures, later to realize you are only in few if any of the images at all? Well I solve that...



Mothers, how many times have you been at your child's event (birthday, christening, sharing ice cream, a day at the park- anything!) and there is always someone missing from the picture, usually because you have to get them to take the picture? Well I solve that! Timeless moments of you and your children can unfold beautifully in a textured hardcover coffee table Photobook to share with your friends and family.

Gentlemen, are you getting ready to ask your girlfriend to marry you? Our version of how things happened that day always seems to be a tiny bit different from yours? Well I solve that!! Have true details documented from ring buying to popping the question- all of this can placed on an Event Catcher Show dvd with music to share on television.

Everyone, aren't you tired of stopping the party to gather friends and family together to say the dreaded "CHEESE"? Well I SHRED the cheese!!! No more of the "Posey Poses"-- Lets capture real life moments that show the candid details of your event as they unfold from begining to end!



So what's your event... prom, graduation, shower, ladies night out.... guys night out? All of the above? It doesn't matter! At Event Catchers® it's simple...

You Enjoy the Moment... We Capture the Event!!™
