The Beckers: Irrepressible, Supercharged, Family Love

September 30, 2012 | No comments yet

I shoot family photo sessions from time to time, and have always enjoyed meeting the parents and the kids, and watching them interact. A few years ago, I photographed the Beckers when there were only three, with little Owen just over a year old. Now he’s approaching three, and Noah and Shari have added adorable […]

Mark + Sindhu – Celebrity Dairy Wedding

September 28, 2012 | No comments yet

Mark and Sindhu’s wedding was one of those events that checks off almost every box for me–beautiful pastoral setting? Check. Adorable goats, kittens, and llamas? Check. A homegrown wedding filled with and built by friends and family, love and happiness? Check. Once again I headed out to Celebrity Dairy (this is the third time for […]

Happy Fourth of July!

July 4, 2012 | 2 comments

I haven’t gone to see fireworks in several years, and I have never tried to take photos of them. It’s always just been one of those things I like to experience, and unless they’re really well done, I just don’t love looking at photos of fireworks. Around here, there’s no water to reflect, or spectacular […]

Love.

As Isaac gets older, there are fewer and fewer opportunities when he will really cooperate when I have a camera in hand. The moments when I can actually collaborate on photos with a three and a half year old are priceless. I love the infrequent moments when he not only humors me by standing in […]

An Explosion of Color

June 27, 2012 | No comments yet

One very important difference between color and monochromatic photography is this: in black and white you suggest; in color you state. Much can be implied by suggestion, but statement demands certainty… absolute certainty. – Paul Outerbridge Yes, I am perfectly capable of reading a calendar. I see that it is still June. But my self-imposed […]

Mike + Diana – Thirty Five Years and Going Strong

June 18, 2012 | No comments yet

One of the things I have always loved most about photography is the opportunity it provides to meet new people and have a small window into their lives. Such was the case when I recently got an opportunity to take some photos of Mike and Diana to celebrate their thirty-fifth anniversary. To record this significant […]

Month of Monochrome: Progress Report

June 13, 2012 | No comments yet

Just wanted to report that my month+ of shooting black and white for all my personal work is still going strong, though I’ve snuck a color image or two in there because the colors were so epic and I couldn’t resist. I’ve also used black and white for some paid work, just not exclusively. Hope […]

Walk Along the Eno

June 4, 2012 | No comments yet

No musings today, just a monochrome from a walk along the Eno River in Durham. The colors were so pretty this day it was hard to shoot only in black and white, but I like the results. At least 94% of what I enjoy about this photo is that I took it as part of […]

Fun Day at the Lazy 5 Ranch

May 23, 2012 | No comments yet

Yes, yes, I know–that title image is in color, when I just recently wrote that I was going to shoot in black and white exclusively for more than a month. The purpose of placing such a creative limitation on yourself is to force you out of a comfort zone, force you to look at things […]
