Graduation Head Shot

When my friend and neighbor asked me to take a head shot of her for her graduation, I was glad to help. The best shot we got was with the black background, with a spot light (courtesy of my LP120 flash) on the backdrop to add a nice effect. We also took a nice portrait with her husband.

Continued success as you work towards completing your Divinity degree!

Ryan and Jason

Aili wanted to get some portraits of the boys against the beautiful fall foliage. Didn't even have to leave the neighborhood for this one! We're fortunate to have
so many choices for portraits so close to home.

She took advantage of the "Fast 5 for $25" special offer for these shots. Fast for me, good deal for her!

Julia's First Birthday

You mean I get to come to the party, and take lots of pictures of your adorable 1 year old daughter? Of course I agreed to attend and capture images from Julia's birthday party. We did a mini-shoot in the grandparents terrific back yard, and of course caught the cake lighting, eating, and... squishing!

Marine Corp Ball 2010


Marketing pays off. Not right away or as soon as we business owners might
like, but it does pay off. A year ago, I did some complementary shots at
the Riverbend Fall Festival. Months later, a parent of a child I photographed
remembered my work, which led to getting the job to provide portraits at the
USMC Ball.

It was great working with everyone that evening. It was a pleasure and an honor
to work the event; looking forward to next year!

Nora

When do you need a professional photographer? How about when it's time
to get that special photo of your new daughter in a family heirloom dress!

The dress Nora wore was worn by her mother as a baby, and I think her
grandmother as well. I was honored to be trusted with such a special
portrait.

Megan

The best compliment a photographer can get is repeat business.
I was excited to have a chance to shoot Megan again. I just
knew she's pop with a black background!

Her brothers are next, coming soon.

MICS Dedication

On Wednesday Sept 15th, I attended the Mountain Island Charter School dedication service as the official, invited photographer. How cool is that?? Not a paid gig, but hopefully it will offer some additional exposure for my business.

There was a luncheon for the VIP guests, followed by the dedication ceremony held on the fields under a big tent. We learned what our mascot will be (Go Raptors!), and gave thanks to the board members whose efforts the past few years made the school a reality.

Very glad my kids are both attending MICS!
