A Country Portrait Session: The Buck Boys

I received a phone call from Tracey looking to arrange a portrait session for her three boys, Alan, Ben and Colby. They had a location for the shoot picked out, a farm belonging to a friend of the family. We had a great time capturing the three boys alone and together. Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

Atlantic Beach Engagement Session: Jordan & Devin

Jordan & Devin will be getting married later this year. We wanted to do a photo session in advance to help them get comfortable in front of the camera. They felt like the beach would be a fun location and I most definately agreed. A special thanks to Renee at Visions Events & Beyond for allowing us access to their terrace even though the wedding is being held at another venue.

Wat Carolina Buddhist Temple: Wilmington, North Carolina

I had the opportunity to visit the Wat Carolina Buddhajakra Vanaram, Boliva, NC (between Wilmington & Southport, North Carolina). It was an interesting opportunity for some photography and not something one would normally expect in North Carolina. I’d like to visit again for additional photography in conjunction with one of their holidays/celebrations.

The architecture is more what one would expect to see in Thailand or India rather than southern North Carolina. Another view of the Wat Carolina temple, about 2 hours north of Myrtle Beach, SC

The different roof levels are interesting: Buddhist Association of North Carolina Several statues of the Buddha featured on the shrine in the teaching area in the monk's quarters.
