Yes, I shoot soccer games!

I haven't had a lot of paid sports shoots, so I was very excited to be asked to cover a girls soccer game on a recent Saturday afternoon. While I focused on one player in particular, I ended up getting a lot of great shots of many of the players.

I just love digital; I ended up shooting nearly 900 images!! It was great going through them all to find the gems.

Here's one of my favorites from that day.

Riverbend Riptides 2011

This was the first year for the Riverbend Riptides swim team. I was happy to have been asked to take the official team and individual portraits. We ended up taking our team picture at the Northwoods swim meet. At least that's the one most folks ended up being in.

The individuals turned out great! Look for the gallery under Community - Riverbend.

50th Wedding Anniversary

David and Frances recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary
with friends and family at Piper Glen Country Club in Charlotte.

Their daughter Lauren realized this was a great opportunity to hire
a professional photographer, and not have to worry about taking the
pictures.

I got lots of great family pics, as well as fun pics of the dancing
afterwards.

Custom Bike

I recently received a call from a couple who had built a custom motorcycle
that was to be featured in a local magazine, "Carolina Chrome". Of course
they wanted some awesome shots of their amazing bike for the article.

We got together on a Friday late afternoon and did a shoot at two sites
in north Mecklenburg. I'm very happy to report the client loved the work,
and I'm looking forward to seeing the published article. I'll update this
blog post after it's published.

Nora's Baptism

I just love the phrase, "Please bring your camera"!

The occasion was Nora's baptism on Palm Sunday. I was originally only planning to get shots during the baptism, but asked if we had time for some outdoor shots as well. I'm glad we did as we got some nice family shots, and this beautiful picture of Nora and her sister Joy Kate.
