Wow, I’m no good at keeping this up to date, am I? It’s been quite awhile since I’ve last posted… I’d like to be able to dish out a good “pull at your heartsrings” sort of reason as to why, but I’ll settle with the truth instead… Life. Happens. And it is enormously hard to keep up with!

I did recently have the opportunity to photograph a lovely young high school senior and wanted to share. Southport beach is as gorgeous as it ever was for a perfect summer portrait setting and this young lady only served to enhance that.

Enjoy!

I have the greatest job in the world.
No, really, I do. You may think your job rocks, but I just know I have you beat! I can’t imagine anyone loving what they do more than me. Yesterday was just another one of those awesome examples of why.
There was a little apprehension when I got up yesterday morning due to the rain we’ve been blessed with lately, but God came through and they skies cleared (I’d like to think, just for us, but I sure hope you all got to get out enjoy the gorgeous afternoon it turned into too)! I met senior, Alyse and her mom out at Petrifying Springs and spent a fabulous couple of hours shooting and walking through the park with these great ladies (and my super helpful, chair toting, teenage son). Seriously, does work get any better than a walk through the park, camera in hand, a stunning young woman to photograph, and the perfect natural canvas in which to photograph her? I really don’t believe it does.
Okay, enough typing… on to what you’re really here for.

Enjoy the preview!

There is one word to describe a beach session in the spring…… unpredictable!

We had rescheduled this senior session for a more promising day only to find that the beach was not only cold, but windy too! I mean really windy! But just as springtime weather is ever unpredictable, I find that teenagers are always accommodating. She braved it out and we did what we could, hanging close to the shelter of the beach house, and did not fail to get some great shots of this beautiful young lady.

my last senior of the class of 2009…. 

 

And one from the studio…

A senior session at the park yesterday with a lovely young lady. Wow are the leaves changing, and falling fast. In certain areas the leaves were now completely coating the ground in a blanket of gold, yet you could move a little further on into open field and the grass was as lush as the day after a spring rain. It’s really a marvelous time of year to get out and enjoy nature, at least before the cold sets in. 

Enjoy!




This young lady was also in need of some images taken with a piano. What I love most about taking portraits of seniors at the piano is being able to enjoy hearing them play. I’ve gotten to witness some amazing talent and she is no exception.

the signs of the season…..  

We went up to a local park for this seniors session and were not disappointed. The colors were gorgeous and the weather was beautiful. We weren’t the only ones taking advantage of the awesome colors and comfortable warmth. The park was totally hopping with families out for a last picnic or stroll before the temperature drops and photographers, both hobbyist and professional, were everywhere. At one location we had to wait in line for our turn (It was worth the wait!).
Crazy!

Here ya go……

I can’t seem to get enough of these fab 2009 seniors. They’re gorgeous and better yet, they do just what I ask!
Today brought another such session and along with it, the rain. We weren’t to be deterred though. He rushed to get ready and came about 4 hours early in hopes of beating the rain. All was well and the drops started falling as we got our last shots!

Enjoy….

Arms Wide Open

September 30, 2008 – 7:31 am
I just finished editing a recent senior session. You’ll remember him as the handsome musician in the theatre lobby.
I took this shot during the session not entirely sure what I had in mind for it, but inspiration found me and I love the outcome. 
Once the piece was finished “Arms Wide Open” was the first title that came to mind, but I’m not sure I find it as inspiring as the image. If you have a suggestion for a title, leave me a comment and let’s hear it! I’d love to know what thoughts this image evokes. 

Have an awesome day, and all you locals enjoy this crisp autumn weather!

I had a great time tonight photographing this talented senior.
We started off at the movie theater, taking advantage of their lobby piano. 





Then headed down to the beach for some outdoor shots.



We finished up with a few traditional shots in the studio.
