Todd and Lindsey

I was in Frisco, North Carolina this week for a wedding on the shores of the Pamlico Sound. Todd and Lindsey were staying in a fantastic house called the Love Boat, which is of course shaped in some ways like a ship. Even though it was a little hot, I was pleased with the fact that the wind was calm. Many couples rush off to the reception after the marriage ceremony, so it was rewarding to work with a couple who values wedding photography.

Pool Party

My son's birthday is this weekend and I wanted to put together a creative invitation for the party. It took several hours of work in photoshop.

I also had the opportunity to shoot the Spring Fling Dance at the school I work at in Faison, North Carolina. We had a great time and the students took some great pictures! I was able to test out the new purple and pink muslin, which just happened to go along with the color theme for the dance. What luck!

Trash the Dress

A couple of weeks ago I had a trash the dress photo session with Betty and Ron. I decided to take them down to the waterfront near the U.S.S North Carolina in downtown Wilmington. There are so many places to take great pictures there. The business called A SECOND TIME AROUND let Betty get into their window display case! They really went above and beyond for the bride. I have to thank Ron and Betty for being so easy to work with in some chilly temperatures.

Summer weddings are booking up very quickly and it would be a good idea to book your photo session as soon as possible, so that your date will be secured.

She's got the Rhythm- Hot pick of the week!

I received a HOT PICK of the week over at the Samsung of America website for this past week 3/7-3/13 . soaphoto.com I was testing out some new strip lights in the studio and I knew that my daughter would enjoy dancing for me. I didn't expect her to be so good at it. She most certainly did not get her moves from me. I have no rhythm!

I also had time to work on a colorful edit of Logan who visited the studio a few months ago for a modelling contest portfolio shot.

Have a great March everyone!

To see the results, go to visionagecontest.com and click on past winners. This is my third honorable mention on this site.
The shot of the trees, I took just outside of Bear Grass, NC on the way back from the beach.
Now is the time to book your wedding! My calendar is filling up fast for Spring and Summer weddings. I have a few Weddings in the Warsaw and Mt. Olive areas, as well as several on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Have a great January!

Hot New Year!

Happy 2010 to everyone! I want to really grow as a photographer and improve my photoshop editing skills this year. I spent close to two hours turning this portrait into a Hot Picture! I really enjoy working in photoshop with images to create things that can't be done in real life. I am starting my 4th year as a professional photographer here in Warsaw, NC The business keeps growing much larger every year. Thanks for all of your business and support along the way!
