Makenzie :: Senior Portraits

05.21.13

I am sure Makenzie is tired of hearing this, but I cannot believe it is already time for her to be a high school graduate. I have known Makenzie since she was a little girl because she is kinda like extended family. Let me see if I can say this without losing you: she is my brother-in-law’s sister’s child. I’m sure there is an easier way of saying that. Makenzie was just a little girl when my sister married her Uncle Chris. I was super excited when they asked me to do her Senior portraits because I knew it would be a lot of fun, and of course, it was. She did a great job during her session and who knows, maybe one day I can photograph her wedding. But, I’m sure her Mom would say that is quite some time away. Makenzie has big plans. She will be attending Meredith College in Raleigh this Fall. So, it was hard to narrow down, and I’m sure I could have narrowed it down some more, but it was just too hard, so here are my favs:

Jasmine and Kenny :: New Bern, NC Wedding

05.13.13

You may remember last summer I had the opportunity to do an engagement session for Jasmine and Kenny. I was also fortunate to photograph their wedding day as well. Both events were in New Bern at the Tryon Palace. The couple made their vows at St. Paul’s Catholic Church and had a beautiful reception to follow at the NC History Museum. Jasmine was absolutely stunning! The bride and her bridesmaids got ready in the Aerie Bed and Breakfast, which was a wonderful place to photograph all her beautiful details. These were some of my favorites from the day….and of course, there are two shoe shots because I just love to do shoe shots…And just in case you didn’t know, New Bern, North Carolina is the birth place of Pepsi-Cola…something I should know seeing as how my Grandfather and Father worked for Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company in Toledo, OH for quite some time. Be sure to take note of the old Pepsi bottles. Each guest received an old Pepsi bottle…so cool!

I am pleased to be a part of this year’s Art Fields in Lake City, South Carolina. It is an art exhibit featuring the work of 400 artists. The work will be displayed in various venues in Lake City. My work was accepted and will be exhibited in Main Street Mercantile. The show will offer $100,000 in prizes. Here is a quote from the Art Fields website:

“ArtFields is a first-of-its-kind, Epic Southern Artfest Competition and Celebration to be held in the historic community of Lake City, South Carolina. The 10-day event will feature live music, dancing, delicious Southern foods, and cash prizes totaling $100,000 that will be awarded to winning artists.

If you happen to be in Lake City or want to make a special trip, be sure to go in Main Streen Mercantile to look at my piece, “Flynn Cemetery Offerings.” And if you like it, vote for it!

The Bree and Ty Show is Back On!

04.08.13

Okay, so the reason I title this “The Bree and Ty Show” is because they are quite the pair when it comes to camera theatrics..especially Bree. Although, this time it seemed that Ty had learned enough from his big sis to take the show. I am so late on posting these pictures. They were actually taken in November for their Christmas card. We decided to stick around my parents’ house for this shoot, so that meant country roads and crop remnants. The colors of the crop remnant really worked well with their outfits, and of course, they had fun rummaging through the field. I love these kids…they really crack me up…seriously, how cute are they?
