Julia and Isaac

Beautiful day for a shoot last week, in a perfect setting. Lighting was awesome, coming in behind the subjects just right.

Only downside was injuring my knee at the beginning of the shoot. Luckily, the real loss of mobility was hours away!

Steve and Athena

As always, I love repeat customers. Steve and Athena wanted to work in a cross for their family Christmas card portrait. Confident that there was a cross at my family church, we arrived only to discover that it was only up during the Easter season!

A little research and time later, we finally did get some great shots of the kids in an outdoor setting with a cross. Here's a nice shot of the family at the first location.

Curtis and Mallory

Family portrait sessions are always fun. I love to see the families get dressed up in coordinating outfits, and see how excited they are to get started!

What was going to be a newborn photo shoot became a family shoot for the family of Curtis and Mallory. We got a great fall afternoon with great light for the shoot.

Here's a favorite from the day.

Candace and Tyler

On September 22, 2012 Candace and Tyler were married at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Lincolnton, NC. I was especially excited to cover their wedding as this was my biggest wedding to date. That, and we got such great bridal portraits.

The reception was held at a golf club in Marion, NC. It was a real challenge to get good pics there because it was so DARK there, but they came out just fine. Good equipment and knowing how to best use it.

Here's a favorite from the reception. Check out the rest in the gallery.

Dana and Josh

I was very glad to have been asked by Dana and Josh to be their wedding photographer! They were married on September 15th, 2012 at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Mount Holly, NC, with the reception following in the fellowship hall at the church.

Here's one of my favorites from the day. Be sure to visit the Weddings galleries to check out the rest.

Nick's Graduation

Graduation pics on a black, white and brick backdrop. Nick is the nephew of one of my wife's long time employees. I was happy to do a graduation shoot for her.

Joy Kate and Nora

This summer, I did a family shoot for the Minister of Music at my church. We decided to do the shoot in front of the church (Christ Methodist in the Coulwood neighborhood of Charlotte). It's always a challenge shooting young kids, but we just let them be themselves and ended up with some terrific shots.
