The Morees, Down on the Farm

A couple of Saturdays ago, we set out towards Blakely for a location photo session with the Moree family. We didn't know just what to expect since we were not familiar with the location. All we knew was that it was on a farm and that we would be featuring Matt who is a senior this year. When we arrived, we were absolutely delighted to discover that the farm included a series of beautiful cypress ponds with lush foliage all around. We were escorted to several sites on the farm which offered a nice variety of settings. I don't think we've ever had the opportunity to include a center pivot irrigation system in a portrait session before! The weather was typical south Georgia summer weather -- hot and humid. We were having such a good time with this session, we hardly noticed the heat . Here are a few shots from the day. A link to the full collection of images is on the Proof Galleries page.

Julie and Gordy's Wedding

We were honored to photograph Julie and Gordy's recent wedding. Theirs was an afternoon ceremony in Plains. The wedding was beautiful, the music awesome, and all their family and friends enjoyed the reception which followed. The summer heat and a shower or two, typical for south Georgia this time of year, were taken in stride. Here are a few images from their celebration.

Studio Session with Karlee

We had the privilege of working with Karlee this past Saturday to produce some images to add to her portfolio. We love model shoots for the creative freedom it affords us as well as the satisfaction of helping produce images which have emotional impact and value. Modeling is hard work and often both stressful and tedious, as lights and equipment must be continually adjusted while maintaining the tempo and focus of the shoot. Karlee delivered with perfect aplomb. Her natural expressions and intuitive response to direction allowed us to get the looks we were after. After a quick preliminary review of the session, we thought we'd share just a few. As we work through the large collection of images, we'll post a more complete representation of the shoot.

Prom Night!

Prom is always an exciting and much anticipated event. We invited our niece, Hannah, and her friends to drop by the studio to capture a few photo memories of all their finery. We all had fun while capturing these images. More photos are here on our Facebook page.

Cycling Races in Albany, 2010

It's hard to believe a year has passed since the last Regions Bank Race Weekend in Albany during the Mardi Gras festivities. I once again spent the day walking the course (several times) while looking for interesting shots of the racing.

The day started out cold (29 degrees!) but warmed up nicely. The field wasn't as large this year, but the racing was just as great.

A Family Photo Session

We recently had the pleasure of getting to know the Howard family during an outdoor photo session downtown near the river. This winter day was a bit cloudy and cool, but the warmth of this family is what we remember from our time together. Click through to see a few shots from the day.

Nashville!

I recently attended the DWF Convention and Imaging USA show in Nashville. DWFC is an annual convention of wedding and portrait photographers which helps us improve our art, skills, and business acumen. A few of us gathered the day before the convention began to photograph local models at a couple of interesting locations in downtown Nashville. One was inside an old passenger train car and the other location was in an unrenovated part of an old church. Fortunately you can't tell from the images that the weather that day included ice, snow and 18 degrees outside - plus the train car was unheated! The models were awesome with their "can do" attitudes. Click through to see a few of my shots from the day.
