A Young Angel

I photographed the Nutcracker production held by the Carolina Ballet Theater in Dec. 2008, and this is one of my favorite images taken from the production. Although dance is very challenging to photograph, it has been such a great learning period for me. It has also inspired me in may artistic ways. I plan to do a series of paintings based on images that I have collected from productions by CBT.

B-Dub

I made my brother (Brad) sit for this quick portrait, while we walked the streets of Charleston S.C. during our Christmas break. This old door made a great back drop and Brad makes a great subject.

Family on the Beach

This is my brother Brad on the beach in Charleston S.C., and my mother is actually in the back ground. I purposely over exposed the image and them manipulated the image in Aperture to come up with this final product. Just wanted to try something new, and I'm pleased with the outcome. I always enjoy trying new techniques and processes, it keeps me interested.

Low Tide

This is an image that I shot in Charleston S.C. during Christmas. There were people on the beach and surfers in the water. I spent Christmas with my mother, stepfather, brother and sister in Charleston this year. It was so nice to get a way for the holidays and really do very little. The weather was great and honestly I didn't want to come home.

"A little Dutch"

This is Dutch, he is 6 months old and as cute as he can be. I photographed Dutch last week and he did very well. He was a little testy as the end of the shoot, as most 6 month old children tend to get. But I was able to get many great images of Dutch before hand. This is one of my favorites from the shoot.

Warehouse Thanksgiving

I have been fairly busy as of late, mostly shooting portraits. This image is of my stepbrother Ben. This is one of my favorites form the shoot on Thanksgiving day. I shot several images at my house, before going out to this abandoned warehouse. My step mother is having a difficult time choosing the ones that she wants to print. So I must have done a good job.

"Innocent Orchard"

I love this portrait image taken during a session with Dakota Joy in a fruit orchard. Children are only innocent when you're not paying attention. And this is exactly how I got this image, I waited until she wasn't paying attention to me, and then I snapped it. Candid shots are always the best, in my humble opinion. You can truly capture ones, personality or thought, without contaminating it with, "smile, look at me, lift your chin", or other ridiculous phrases that I hate to admit come out of my mouth from time to time.
