Keith, Amy & Shelby

Here's a few pictures of Keith, Amy, and Shelby taken on December 15th. This was another on-location shoot. We took a few shots in their living room and then setup a white background for a few. There's some really cute ones below. Enjoy the photos.

Sammy and Amanda

Here's a few pictures of Sammy and Amanda on December 2. They wanted some photos of themselves at their newly remodeled home. We setup some shots around their Christmas tree, moved outside for a few shots,and then moved back inside to setup the back drop for some fun shots. Enjoy the photos.

Dan, Cindy, & Carson

Here's a few photos from a session I did with Dan, Cindy, & Carson on Saturday, December 1. This session was a lot of fun because we were able to create some nice Holiday shots by their Christmas tree and mantle. Then we set up a white backdrop in their living room and created some nice family portraits. This Christmas is extra special to Dan and Cindy because this is Carson's first Christmas. She's such a cute baby! The shots with the rocking chair were special to Cindy because this was her mother's rocking chair. Using props such as the rocking chair is why it's so neat offering on-location photography. Enjoy the photos!

Our Christmas Pictures

Here's a few Christmas pictures I took of Cari and I just last night. It's a little difficult not being behind the camera and the subject being yourself. We had a lot of fun trying to get Oreo to look at the camera because there was no one there to squeak a toy or get her attention. So, we just waited until she fell asleep and then I just clicked away with the wireless shutter release. It was a lot of fun! Enjoy the photos!

We're Engaged!

What a day! Saturday, Nov. 17, 2007 I became engaged to my sweetheart and best friend, Cari. The weather was excellent, not too cold, not too warm. We started our trek up to the top of King's Pinacle located at Crowder's Mountain State Park. It was a steep hike up, but the views along the way were gorgeous. The leaves were glowing in reds, oranges, and yellows. The view on top of the mountain was breath taking. Looking out over the piedmont and all of the wonderful colors. We found a nice spot to have some lunch. After that, the nerves kicked in a little. Yes I did have the camera set up, but of course she didn't think anything of it because she's used to me having the camera around all the time, lol. Then I asked my best friend to marry me. I have posted a few pictures below to share with you that awesome day. In the photos below, you'll see some of the awesome views we seen along the trail, and of course pictures of us. Hope you enjoy!

Carolina Raptor Center

Cari and I went to the Carolina Raptor Center (www.carolinaraptorcenter.org) Saturday, Nov.3. We took the behind the scenes tour, so we were able to see inside the raptor center hospital and hear about the care and rehab of the birds. This is a really cool place and I recommend going. I posted a few pictures I captured of some of the residents of the Carolina Raptor Center. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Pickin'

Here's a few pictures to get you into the fall mood. You can definitely tell how much fun Liam was having at the pumpkin patch. I can remember the days of searching for the biggest pumpkin you could find. Then the problem was trying to carry it. Well, take a look at the pictures and you can see that Liam man handled one of those monsters! This shoot was a lot of fun! Enjoy!

Rick on the tracks

It's looking like the train track shots are pretty popular. I like the location I use because you never know what's going to be there. One day a graffiti box car, the next day maybe a train engine, and some days it's just the tracks. I shot a few pictures of Rick on Saturday Sept. 22 on the tracks and man was it hot. Rick knows first hand. He'll tell you how hot the tracks were. I've posted a few photos in a new slide show format. Let me know what you guys think. Enjoy!

Hannah's Senior Pictures

I had a great time Saturday, Sept. 15 shooting some high school senior photos for Hannah. The weather was absolutely beautiful. There was a nice breeze that added a nice affect to some of the photos. We shot at several locations but my favorite was the train tracks with the graffiti box cars in the background. I've posted a few photos below. Enjoy!

My Niece Kayla

I took some time to shoot a few individual pictures of my niece, Kayla Hyde. She is really naturally photogenic. Kayla has mentioned trying to get into modeling. Kayla, I suggest you try it. I wanted to practice some new outdoor lighting techniques and she was all up for having some photos made. We had a great time!

Bleuzen Family At Lake Norman

I had a great time Saturday morning, Sept. 8 capturing the Bleuzen family on their new boat out on Lake Norman. The water was really calm for a Saturday. Capturing Alex tubing and knee boarding was really fun too. I must say, he's got skills on the knee board! I have posted a few of the pictures below. Hope you enjoy!
