New Camera!

I'm so excited! I should be receiving my new Nikon D300 body Tuesday! I'll be making my D80 body a backup and a second lens camera at events and weddings. More camera's to cover your wedding or event. How awesome is that!

Photo Wild

I am now registered for the Carolina Raptor Center's 'Photo Wild' photo contest to be held on March 29. I'm really excited! They host this contest anually and I have wanted to enter in it for the past few years. The way it works is they will bring a few birds out at a time and give the photographers so many minutes to photograph them. After you have photographed all the birds that are scheduled to be displayed for the contest, you go home edit your photos and select 3 to enter into a number of catagories. In May, there will be gathering to announce the winners and to auction off the printed photos with proceeds going to fund the raptor center. I visted the raptor center for the first time with my fiance this past fall. I really enjoyed the birds and the facility. The picture below is a resident bald eagle that I photographed during my last visit. You can visit the raptor center online at: www.carolinaraptorcenter.org

Charlie

Here's a few pictures of Charlie, my buddy's German Shepard pup. Yes I said puppy. He's only 3 month's old but he's getting big fast. He's got a personality of his own as you can see in the photos. Enjoy!

Test photos from my DIY ringlight

Here's a few test shots I did a few weeks ago with my new DIY ringlight. I love the lighting affect this light has. Can you see how evenly the face is lit and the ring catch light in the eyes?

Rossetti Wedding

I've posted a slideshow of pictures from a wedding I shot for Christian and Barbara Rossetti on Dec. 28, 2007. I met Christian and Barbara on a visit to Shelton Vineyards this past fall. They saw me with my camera,(can you believe that..haha), and asked if I did weddings. They were a very good couple to work with. Hope you enjoy the photos!

VonKossovsky Family

Here's a few pictures from a session I did with the Konkossovsky's on December 29. They're such great folks. I worked with them earlier in December photographing their Holiday party. It was a lot of fun. Their son and daughter were in from college for Christmas. They were in need of some updated portraits, so I decided to use their nice backyard for background settings. This was a fun shoot, we even witnessed a guy slam into a tree on a golf cart. The golf course runs alongside their backyard. He fell out, lied on the ground while his partner didn't seem to care. After a few seconds, he got back in the cart and drove off. That was an interesting moment. Enjoy the photos!

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.
