lil cousin...

Hello all,

I've been quite busy lately...I guess that's a good thing...lol...I have to keep reminding myself that I have a full time job already....but who knows...maybe this will become my full time gig sooner than later...

Anyway,
I had the privilege of meeting a long distant cousin of mine...and I mentioned to her that I was working on building the "Lil ones" section of my online portfolio....She was more than gracious to help me out...I wish you could have been there...this little guy was a barrel of laughs....

So I introduce to you... Anthony....

I finally got him to sit down....but trust me when I say it was only for a minute...lol



until next time...

Tybee Island....

Hello all,


Well,
My vacation is winding down... but I couldn't let it go by without sharing some images with you....

In my pursuit to book more weddings this year....I decided to set up a bridal-model shoot...to show my potential clients how great a bridal portrait session could be...

I found Ms. Juliane here in Savannah, Ga while I was visiting my parents...I purchased a dress for her to wear for our shoot out on Tybee Island...I wanted a wedding dress but I had to settle on a formal dress because a wedding dress was a little to expensive for me to purchase and put in saltwater...lol...

she told me she was surprised that I wasn't stuck up....maybe that's something I need to work on...."being a stuck-up photographer"...

just kidding....

She was laid back...and we had a great day shooting at the beach....The Atlantic Ocean Beaches are nothing like the Gulf Of Mexico Beaches....but we made it work....

Anyway,
here are a few pics from today....










and to think...she said she was rusty.....









until next time.....

Well,
This young lady's images you're about to view full of just that....GLAMOUR....

I met Niena at my regular 9 to 5 just a few months back....She's moved on and is doing BIG things...She called me saying she needed some images for her website....So her are just a few of my favorite from the shoot....





Chocolate City...

Hello all,

I received phone call last week from a young lady who was just about to graduate from college...she said she'd be headed to Washington soon to start her internship and she wanted to book a portrait session...

So we scheduled a time in the late evening and shot away...

And as always...I had a blast....
I wish her the best of luck...

We'll just call her "K"....

Aqua....

Here's a look at your next TV news reporter.....Ms. Aqua (drum roll....)



I had the privilege of helping Aqua put together a resume tape a couple of weekends ago...She called me Saturday and said she wanted to hire me to take her head shots to post on her resume website...
I was unable to schedule her in later this week because I'm having surgery tomorrow but I squeezed her in to a very busy day on Sunday...

I wasn't the only one...her hair stylist opened up the shop just for her....I think that's amazing!!!!

She's one of those people with major drive and determination....she'll go far in the news business as long as she keeps striving to be the best....


Anyway,
I met her at a her home and set up my "portable studio" and we had a blast....Her brother stopped by and thought something crazy was going on inside the house because he kept seeing this flash of light stabbing through the windows...

of course it was my strobes going off....lol

until next time,
