  • Portraits I love of Souls I love…

  • The man I am going to marry…

    On my last night in town before I flew home to South Carolina, I had to get a few more landscape photos for an assigment. So Arann and I decided to multi-task… date night with mussels and french fries, landscape photos, and photos of him in his chicken suit… of course. (The cows were very…

  • Life’s little surprises…

    I am in South Carolina right now for two reasons. The first reason is to photograph a friend’s new organic clothing line for kids… and the second is to visit my mom. Two weeks ago our family dog, Freckles, who was 14 years old, had to be put to sleep. She had a lot of…

  • Not Waterproof Yet…

    I went sailing today, for the first time ever… and I loved loved loved it, and recommend it to anyone. I feel like I have a whole new respect for the Bay, the waves, the power of wind, and for my dear friend Kevin who taught us how to navigate through it all. But after…

  • My Favorite Part of the Summer… every year…

    Putt-putt at Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina with my whole family and the same decrepit safari animals that are older than I am. These are my cousins…. they were featured here last year as well, and now it seems photographing them with our favorite fiberglass animals has become as much a tradition as anything…

  • My Muse…

    …Who may not always be amused to stop for a photo, but in the end he always does, and that is so nice for me. And most importantly he always encourages me on during the roller coaster flips and turns of photography, I recommend everyone have their own cheerleader, even if they prefer sunflowers to…

  • Taking Time to Play….

    As a “professional” photographer, it can get overwhelming photographing all the time… and sometimes the last thing you want to do is take photos during your free time because taking photos means editing photos and that means more time in front of the computer… but playing with your camera is the best way to keep…
