Trixie and Adam and their little dog too...

Fall is the season I love the most. All of the colors and the weather cool enough for coffee and a sweater in the morning. I had the opportunity to take some photos and showcase not only the changing of the season but a mother and her son. So, without further a do here are Trixie and Adam...

When A Picture Tells The Story..

Sometimes the lines get muddied between what I do for a living and what my passion is. Last night I had the opportunity to combine the two. In a moment of grief, I was able to capture a grandmother and her grandchild that to me tells the entire story. This is life, in all its glory, and sadness....

Michael

Michael...the first of my Great Nephew/Nieces..It was hard for me to look at these and not see my little blond haired guy that was such a part of my life when he was younger. I hope that he always remembers that his Aunt is always in his corner, and loves him as much as I did when he carried multiple "binkies" around and couldn't sleep without ALL of them. For his parents and his family, here he is, a preview..My Guy...

A First...

I have been asked many times to take graduation pictures for people and in most cases I have declined as I didn't think I would be able to capture what a Mother would want in terms of her child. However, in this instance I decided to take on the task. I fretted for weeks about it, but yesterday I completed my mission. Thanks to Bonnie and her daughter for making it an enjoyable afternoon. I hope they are pleased...

Wedding By the Sea

I have been quite lucky in the recent past to photograph two very different weddings. Each with its own very distinct charm. This last did not lack in it's southern roots and I hope that I have been able to do Casey and Joey some justice in capturing a moment..

City Wedding

Wedding in the city.. 

A sneak peek into the photo shoot celebration that went on in the city yesterday afternoon. Requested by the bride...

Only one small sample of what is to come from not only this old Photographer but my young, up and coming fantastic assistant last night, Lindsay Haslett! She was responsible for discovering some of the most unusual seating arrangements during this session. 

Many, many thanks to Phil and Stef for being patient and consenting to go anywhere we asked even if it was various eccentric porches, the middle of the street, or two old chairs in the strip...Thank you for allowing us to attempt to capture this event for you and I hope that we have done you both justice in documenting the emotion of the day, who you two are as a couple as well as the city you found one another in. 

So, without further adieu...

Tilt Shift Photo...

Tilt-shift photography refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Sometimes the term is used when the shallow depth of field is simulated with digital postprocessing; the name may derive from the tilt-shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.


Here are some of my examples:
