The Golden Years!



A
ugust 30th 1959 Ann and Larry were married in a little country church between Thomasville and Winston Salem. That year the average income was around $5,000. The average house would set you back a whopping $12.000. You could pick your sweetheart up in a brand new car that cost $2,000 with a tank full of gas that cost 25 cents a gallon. Mack the knife by Bobby Darin was the number one song that year and Bonanza was the show most folks tuned into at night. Some people will argue that those were the good ole' days..... they may be right.

I was asked by the family to photograph their anniversary and I am sure glad I was. Ann, Larry, and their entire family are some of the nicest people I have ever met. It was interesting to look at their wedding photos (black and white) and listen to some of the stories told of yesteryear. When I asked Ann and Larry to give each other a "little" kiss for the camera, Ann said "we like BIG kisses.".......... all I could say was awwwww!!!!

Children/Family Portrait Sessions



Below is our "Pick A Session" menu. We are available for sessions at the beach, mountains or anywhere and do travel the Carolinas or beyond.


Pick A Session

B&W Portrait Session
Autumn Song now offers portrait sessions exclusively using B&W film. Film was our first love in photography ... this medium has the power to transform a portrait into an expressive and timeless work of art. Nothing compares to the effect of film grain on a B&W photograph; it captures a richness and subtlety of shading that cannot be achieved digitally. The new B&W portrait sessions will be a very unique niche and perfect for those who love heartful, soulful B&W portrait photography.

The B&W session includes a matted and framed B&W portrait
online viewing for your convenience and for sharing with family and friends
$425

NC Photography Workshops and More!



A
re you like most people in our photography workshops? You paid nice money for your digital camera; you flipped through the manual, heaved a big sigh (aperture, F-stop, what?) and told yourself you’d go through it another day. Before you tossed the manual in a drawer (now, which drawer was it?) you did manage to learn that P stood for Programmed Mode (aha! I can do that!) and you’ve been using good ole P ever since. Your pictures are okay. (Of course they are; who couldn’t take good pictures of my adorable kids?). But with just a little knowledge, your pictures could be so much better!

With a little knowledge and a little practice, you’ll be capturing shots you never, ever thought possible. Pair your God-given eye for beauty with just a little technical knowledge, and you’ll be able to convey more about what is in your heart with each picture you take.

At Autumn Song Photography, our inspiration is the beauty of life and the joy of capturing life through photography. We want to share that joy with you!

So, what are your waiting on...... sign up for one of our workshops!
