Sometimes things get a little crazy in the middle of a portrait sessions when you work with a 2 year old and 5 year old.Some of the best images happen within the first 10 minutes of the session. After that its down hill.

The Family

Sometimes the best family shots are the ones that happen when your not ready. We were all together as a family last weekend on the coast. We tried to get a family portrait with dogs and all but now I know how hard it is on the other side of the camera. I will have a better image for this years Christmas card.

A long Day

Sherry Price from Greenville was here today and she is in our Baby Growing Plan. Her 6 month old little girl was having a good time and making some very funny motions with her hands. I will have a bunch of new photos coming this week and I look forward to sharing my own family portrait we captured last week when we were all together on the coast.

OK - It can be announced! This Saturday August 23rd is a WORLDWIDE Photowalk! And we're part of it In Rocky Mount, NC Chris Barns has been selected to host the walk in this area and it will be an exciting time to walk and share!

And heck, IT'S FREE!!! go to the Photo Walk Link for more information.

Ian & Lori
We are looking forward spending time with Ian & Lori next weekend as they make a long awaited visit from the west coast.We should have all four kids home for the weekend so It may be the only time I can get them together before Christmas. Guess what? I am looking for a photographer so I can get a real family portrait of my own family. We have not had a family group photo since the weddings so It's time.We will even have Hilliary & Francois's dog Cooper along with Howard & The Worm. The last posed group was me setting the self timer and running into the pose.I hope to share the new pose with everyone right after it is complete.

Family Reunion

This past Sunday afternoon Amy and I traveled to Sunset Beach to photograph the
VanNess Family from Reidsville,NC. This family has been gathering for a yearly reunion for more than 32 years. Grand dad is now 93 years old and made it to beach for this group pose.You may not be able to see it in the photo but the wind must of been
blowing more than 20 mph.The only place to pose 45 people was on the beach access road behind a huge sand dune.
We are still getting requests for beach portraits for the Fall season.
August is family month so keep on the look out for some really cool offers for family portraits. You need to be on our email mailing list to get the information first hand so please contact me today so we can keep in touch.

The Garden

We had a great time in the garden today. The flowers are still look beautiful. I just love following a little one around with a hand full of flowers. You never know know what will happen.Visit our website to view more samples of our work. We had a big time last week doing our beach portraits so I am going to try and post a bunch over the weekend. Amy and I will be attending a wedding on Saturday of a close friend. It will be strange not to be taking the pictures but I am looking forward to not feeling guilty going to the food line. It should be fun watching someone else sweat.
