I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years! I have a few sessions from before the holidays that will go up on the blog in the next few days. Here’s one I shot for the Mann Family down at the North End of Wrightsville Beach near Shell Island Resort. Our main goal for this shoot was to get them a new Christmas card portrait, I believe we succeeded!

Had another fun session down at Holden Beach, NC a couple days after the last one. It’s kind of funny because I was referred to them by the people staying next door, who I was shooting portraits for a couple days earlier. It’s always good to get referrals. It’s quite a trek down to Holden from Wilmington, so making the drive couple days apart made me feel like I should just get a hotel room. But it is a fun drive and I enjoyed making it. This was a large and lively bunch, with a lot of fun ideas, like the human taco that you’ll see below. We shot some group shots and a bunch of various combinations. Here a few of those. I have a wedding this weekend then I’m heading to Cali for a couple weeks for the US Open of surfing and to explore Big Sur and Southern Cali. So the blog will be on a brief hiatus until I return.

Had the pleasure of shooting the Kinnaman’s and their family out at Holden Beach, North Carolina last week. We had to reschedule the original date due to rain and this session almost got rained out as well, but we managed to get in some quality shooting before the storms moved in. This was my first trip out to Holden this year and it turns out I ended up shooting the family next door to them a couple days after this session, so those will be up on the blog next. If you would like a family session of your own, please contact me to set up your session! Pricing can be found under the Information tab above.

I had a 4 Year Anniversary session with Aaron and Marcy last week down at Ft Fisher. I have a lot of people request Ft Fisher as a shooting location because its variety of beautiful scenery within walking distance. This fun couple was vacationing from Tennessee and wanted to get some photos to document their 4 years of marriage. Our session was actually the exact date of their anniversary. Anniversary sessions aren’t something you hear of often, but they are a great idea and ensure your photo albums stay up to date. I’ve been busy the past few weeks, but I’m finally getting caught up on editing. These past couple months have been shooting/downloading/importing/processing/exporting/uploading/dvdburning and repeat. I had a wedding this past weekend which will be up first inline on the blog, then two epic engagement sessions this week which will be next, so keep an eye out. Enjoy these for now!

Had a good time shooting these portraits for Patty the other day on the south end of Wrightsville Beach, NC just before sunset. The weather is warm and the ocean is warming up! It must be summer! Go ahead and book your portrait session for the summer! Dates are filling up fast!
I had the pleasure of shooting this little cutie’s first Birthday party a couple weekends ago. The minnie mouse theme was a hit with the handmade decorations, favors and themed snacks put together by her mother Katie. She wasn’t a big fan of the cake but she sure is a chocolate lover!
