I am really grateful for all the wonderful clients I have. They love photography, I love photography, and we all get along! Yesterday I had the opportunity to photograph Jessica, her husband Josh, and her two dogs Bonzie and Diesel. These were taken at the Clark Park off of Ramsey St. Jessica works in an ophthalmology office and will one day become a Physical Therapist, if I remember correctly. Josh will soon be deployed. They...

So, I started editing the wedding photos from Danielle and Liam's wedding today thinking that I didn't get the ring shot I wanted. But I did a few tricks and turned something into something else. You won't believe what my backdrop was! An Air vent! Yes, and airvent. There are so many other photos that I want to post. Allow me to make a part one and a part two. This is part one...

Now, how often do you get an opportunity to photograph wedding formals for 4 hours anywhere you want to (with permission, of course!)? That's what I and George did with Dan and Tina. We photographed them at the Fayetteville Botanical Gardens, and the Cross Creek Fountain, and the Market circle, and at the Prince Charles. It was pretty cool, and Dan and Tina were so funny. It's hard to get them to look at each other without a kiss. ...

So, I was lucky to get to photograph Felisha again. She needed some headshots to give to modeling/acting agents. I'm sure she'll make it through! Watch out, here she comes! She was looking for something as natural as possible, so I turned my flash off and resorted to pure natural lighting and my favorite long lens. Thank God for the friend she brought along, who by the way, had some real reflector-holding skills. Kudos! This...

Jeremy and Demetria--             Ceremony took place in Raeford, NC, and the reception took place at the Holiday in Bordeaux. Demetria is such a pretty bride-- she always smiled a very beautiful one as well. Should've seen her flower girl! She was smiling all over the place. I wished all flower girls were like her. She could enter modeling. I just had to point my camera...

Today I was able to work with make up artist Carmen Johnson and Hair stylist Teresa Simmons. They are both very talented artists and a great team as well. Of course, I should mention Nina. She did everything perfectly. Not to mention her poise and perfect look.  I tried a few shots with my softbox as well as a backlight on my new gray paper backdrop. I really like the paper backdrop. I think that's what I'll be using from...

Jacqueline is a very beautiful girl. I thought they'd be nervous, but just after a few shots, ideas were storming through our heads, and the time we had left was becoming less and less. Thought I'd share some of her beauty....

So-- I don't have the exact words to describe this photosession. They're very pretty, they dance, and they're at the Doghouse Bar and Grill off of Owen Drive. I definitely had fun with this session trying to capture each of their personalities in differen ways. Oh, and this is also the first time I used my softbox. Way to go! Out of all the places and spaces and clean backdrops, I use the bar. I'm quite pleased though and hoping...
