Better late then never!

It's been quite some time since I did any bloggin. A lots been going on: lots of shoots, baby, travel, new gear, etc.. you get the idea. Life gets busy and it's hard to keep up!

I will admit I do miss sharing the work from different shoots and the adventures I get to experience. So I will be starting this up again and doing a wide variety of posts. Everything from tear sheets of my work for editorial and advertising clients, BTS information and photos to personal work and projects. There will also be possible gear reviews and info on what I shoot with. I know a lot of people are interested in what professionals use and why, and there's no reason not to divulge that info!

So stay tuned for more to come. In the meantime enjoy these images from some recent shoots...



It's that time of year....

It's officially fall which means it's my favorite time of year.....Apple Picking Season! Growing up in northern California, I spent every fall of my childhood going apple picking at the local apple farms. I think by far they are my favorite memories from my youth. With this in mind I had a wonderful time photographing at Creasman Farms in North Carolina for WNC Magazine's September/October 2014 issue. The owners of the farm where incredibly generous with their time and helping get everything we needed photographed. All the picking at Creaman's is done by hand and they put a tremendous amount of care into their farm and what they grow. You can go and stroll through the beautiful mountainside orchard picking apples yourself. It surely reminded me of all the great time I spent at apple farms as a child. Check out the feature below or go grab a copy of the magazine and see all the photos in their printed glory!

Blackberries...

It's summer now and those beautiful blackberries are popping up all over. This is talented Pastry Chef Sean Ehland from McCrady's here in Charleston. He does some wonderful dishes with these and many other fresh fruit throughout the year. He was a trooper for waking up first thing in the morning and making a trip outside of Charleston for a shoot at the blackberry farm!

HGTV: 22 things to put on a porch...

It's always fun working with a great crew on a fun project. This shoot for the July/August 2014 issue of HGTV magazine was shot down in beautiful Savannah, GA on a perfect sunny day. The wonderful Elizabeth Demos did the prop styling and she kicked butt gathering all the "things" we needed (which was a lot). We all had a great time shooting throughout the day and the weather was just perfect. For some reason the crew always loves shooting random behind the scenes shots of the photographer, so enjoy those and no, I did not fall off that ladder! Go pick up your issue and enjoy the story and images, hopefully you find a little inspiration to help liven up your own porch!
