1st Day of 2nd Grade!

Scott — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 01:20:12 +0000

I can’t believe the summer is almost over and we have a second grader! We are so thankful he enjoys going to school (most of the time).

And there’s Andrew. His preschool starts next week. I didn’t get a shot of it but when he got back in the van after dropping off Luke he was real quiet and a little sad. So sweet.

Ride for the Red

This past weekend I had the opportunity to cover the Ride for the Red event put on by the American Red Cross. The event started at Ray Price Harley Davidson in Raleigh and ended at Locked and Loaded in Garner. Even though it was hot (Tarzan hot!) they had their most successful year to date with 69 bikes participating. I was happy to be a part of it. Check out some of my favorites below.

Morgan & Mike

Due to a few technical issues it’s been a while since I have been able to post anything. Hopefully everything has been resolved!

We had a great time shooting Morgan and Mike’s wedding at the Matthews House in Cary. A great venue makes my job easier! Somehow the typical North Carolina afternoon thunderstorms spared us and actually provided us with some amazing afternoon light. I love shooting a wedding that ends with a fun reception. DJ Mike Morse provided the non-stop music and judging by the photos I’m pretty sure they had a good time!

Erica and Grant

I have been excited to shoot Erica and Grant’s wedding since I shot their engagement session. Combine a great looking couple with some great venues from getting ready to reception and you can’t miss. They also opted to see each other for photos before the ceremony. This is a personal decision for everyone but after the ceremony we were done with family photos and at the reception in less than thirty minutes! Most people opt for the more traditional route but it’s something to think about! A special thanks to Lauren of North Hills Club and Taylor Pittman of Taylor Made DJ Services for their hospitality at the reception! Check out a few of my favorites from the day.

Melinda and Billy

I’ve had this post ready for a while but have been crazy busy lately shooting 4 weddings in two weeks! The photos below are a few of my favorites from Melinda and Billy’s wedding. It was nice to shoot another outdoor wedding. There’s always more freedom to move around without disturbing the ceremony.

Jennifer and Brandon

We almost had to reschedule this one. This was one of those days where the sun was in and out of rain clouds all day long. Thankfully the rain held off until we finished. Literally. The bottom fell out after I drove Jennifer and Brandon back to their car. The session turned out great though and I got to try out a few new locations that I’ve had my eye on for a while.

Kimberly

The hard part about doing bridal portraits is having to wait to post them. I wasn’t able to shoot Kimberly’s wedding but was glad she asked me to do her portrait. I was even more excited when she said she was up for going downtown. Here are a few of my favorites. (click on the image to see it bigger)

Mini

I’ve been wanting to try this for a while now and with the help of my friend Todd I finally got to it. I had been searching for a while to find a good location when I came across this strip of road that had a double yellow line and more importantly no traffic. I wanted to try this so bad I was actually considering getting all my settings on the camera and lights and then having Todd zoom by ;) on a not so busy street, shoot a few frames and then move everything while trying to avoid traffic. There’s no way it would have worked. I’m glad I found an alternative. (click on an image to see the big version)

Julie and Joe

I met Julie and Joe through a wedding I shot last year. They came all the way from California just for their engagement shoot! Okay maybe not just for the engagement shoot. Visiting family during Easter might have something to do with it. :) They were great and put up with me running around Raleigh for a couple of hours. I know it will be here before I know it but I have to wait until January to shoot their wedding! Check out some of my favorites below.

One Year!

Scott — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 03:17:53 +0000

One year ago today I finally started blogging! I’m proud to say that I have somewhat kept it updated too. It’s also my birthday! What better way to celebrate than post some of my favorite shots from the Ray Price Harley Davidson Open House event held this past Saturday. I had a booth with a few of my large biker/car canvas gallery wraps on display. They had a huge turnout and it was cool to be a part of it!
