Nicole in the Studio

Saturday, December 19, 2009 at 10:53AM

I do enjoy when things come full circle. Janet and John contacted me some time ago to see about photographing their new daughter Nicole. Janet had some ideas that could not be met by the local JCPenny studios...(restraint prevents me from commenting here - I am nothing if not mature).

In truth, I have not worked with babies much -okay, not at all - so I felt some...butterflies at the thought. My own kids are years out of diapers, would I be able to interact with a baby. Would I become one of those awkward people who is too loud and brash - to cover up that awkwardness? Me loud? (No comment here thank you).

And all was well as it turned out. Nicole (9 months) was a delight. Happy and sweet, despite being dragged out on a miserably rainy day. Her folks were as relaxed and easy as I remember.

Apparently an old dog can learn new things!

Taylor in the yard

Wednesday, May 6, 2009 at 10:38PM

Taylor wanders the neighbor's yard. She is all business. She is all play. She is energy and running feet and her mother yelling at her to stay out of the street.

She is three. And that is that.

Taylor is shy too, can't you tell?

Atlantic Beach, NC w/ the family

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 at 9:52AM

Another year, and another trip to the beach with the family. We tried Atlantic Beach in NC this year, which is a bit farther south from the Outer Banks. It was a packed house with my daughter and son and their friends, as well as my brother, his wife and my niece and nephew.
These are just a few images from an evening hanging out on one of the decks.

Sorry, no pictures of my son Jake or his friend Patrick in this lot. They are both 16, and could not be torn away from the Rock Band game...

The Hinckley Family

Friday, July 4, 2008 at 9:40AM

My good friend and fellow photographer Doug Hinckley of Valiant Photography Studios asked me if I would mind taking some shots of his family. Knowing full well the frustration of photographing your own family, I readily agreed. (Plus, he clearly know where the talent is - hee!)

We gathered up the clan and went to a field close to thier home. Libby and Kate - his two girls are as cute as can be, and as easy to work with as you can want. And Doug's wife Jill is a beauty.
Okay, truth be told, Doug is pretty hot too.
So, adorable kids, beautiful wife and good looking to boot. I could hate them a little.

Anyway, we had a lot of fun, and I was truly touched and honored to have been asked for this kind of work. Doug is the current Governor of the state chapter of the Professional Photographers Association, so he has a few other photographers he could have tapped for this.
Thanks folks.
