T ime does certainly pass rather quickly. It seems like only yesterday I photographed Christina and Wiley's wedding then bam ... I'm standing in their home photographing their adorable little three month old son Harrison. It's always good to stay connected with our clients and to watch their families grow. If I can boast about anything I can boast about this, our clients have some of the most beautiful kids I have ever seen. Here are a few of Harrison who, by the way, is destined to become a "Mountaineer." |
I can feel it, Old Man Winter is beginning to lose his chilly grip. The days are getting longer and soon the birds will be singing their sweet love songs.

NC Photography Workshop - One-On-one with Colleen
|
I enjoy sharing my love for photography with others who have a strong interest in photography! I get so excited and it gives me great joy to teach. This past weekend I had the opportunity to share a little about photography with Colleen, an up and coming photographer from the Outer Banks.
Colleen arrived at our home office on Saturday morning with an eagerness to learn ... you could see it in her eyes! We spent the morning discussing a topic dear to me, "Understanding Exposure". You see, proper exposure is the biggest problem for all photographers, whether amateur or professional. Your technique can be perfect, your lenses the best available, the location the most exotic: but if your exposure is off, your photographs will be off as well. It is vital to always keep in mind the basics of exposure.
After an intensive morning on exposure (and Colleen absorbing everything like a sponge), we headed out for the afternoon to shoot, with Karen as our model. Colleen and I enjoyed working with natural light capturing some beautiful shots. Sunday we spent the day working on post-production, workflow, Lightroom and Photoshop.
Thanks Colleen for a great weekend! Karen and I look forward to visiting you and shooting with you at the Outer Banks.
Here are a few of my favorites Colleen shot on Saturday. |
I 'm just wondering ... are we out of the drought yet? It's kind of interesting ... we worry about things like global warming and if there will be enough water. Just when we think the earth is going to dry up God opens the skies and it rains, and rains, and then it snows, and the lakes freeze over ... and the cycle continues.
I prefer to live life in the moment, not borrowing too much from yesterday or being overly concerned about tomorrow. When we have rainy days, I get excited. Karen cooks a big pot of soup and as it's cooking, the steam fills the house, making it warm and cozy. The smell of soup and cornbread keep me in the moment.
To make matters all the better, the babies come pouring in. Sometimes Karen and I sit on the couch with the three of them under a big blanket and read. Sometimes we watch kid programs on the tube. If the rain happens to break for a moment and I can come up with a good bribe (like chocolate) the kids will let me try out some new film I'm experimenting with. A new cycle begins.... play and work, play and work. Life is good!
Note: The color photos of Layla and the one black and white of her are digital. The ones of Adalei and Bradyn were shot with a Mamiya 645 using an 80mm 1.9 lens and Kodak 400 CN film. |
O ur friend and accountant Terri, has an accounting firm located in Thomasville. The space is light and airy so we thought it would make a great place to do Sam's six month photo session. Kids are more comfortable in a familiar environment and since little Sam "works" there every day with his mom and grandmother we felt like he should be pretty comfortable. He was ... as soon as I stepped inside the door he started laughing and cutting up. It's so amazing to watch kids as they grow and to see their little personalities develop. We did his 6-week session a while back and my has he changed! Sam is a beautiful little one with the sweetest little dimple in his chin and baby blue eyes that scream "pick me up and hug me"! |
