Time to Start Thinking about Holiday Cards!

The holidays are just a few short months away. Nothing says happy holidays better than a card featuring your family portrait. I have a variety of styles to choose from at very reasonable prices. The cards are 4″ x 8″, printed on photo paper at a professional photo lab. Prices are $39 for 25 cards, $65 for 50 and $115 for 100 greeting cards. Mention this blog post and your studio session fee will only be $25! Call 252-726-5799 to book your session today!

Photo greeting cards are a great way to say happy holidays!

A Little Self Portrait Fun!

I had a little time to kill following a consultation with one of next year’s wedding couples. So I set-up a lighting scheme in front of my white seamless background, set my camera on self-timer mode and hammed it up in front of the camera a bit.

Playing Catch-Up: August Beach Shoots

August has been a crazy busy month. Multiple weddings, the decision to open the new brick & mortar studio location in Newport (with the associated remodeling, cleaning, setting-up), print orders, album orders and beach portrait sessions! Mixed in with all that work I suddenly realized I’d failed to post any of those beach sessions. So, in an effort to play catch-up, here’s a slideshow review of several beach portrait sessions. Hope you enjoy!

New Space!

We’re moving into a new studio location. Look for us at 226 Chatham Street in Newport, NC. It’s going to take a bit of scrubing, sprucing and decorating before we’re up to full speed, but there’s no reason we can’t work in a few sessions along the way. The operation will be by appointment only. You can phone 252-726-5799 to schedule a session. I’ll get some photos up of the new studio in the near future.

The Unportrait Party

I had the pleasure of attending an “Unportrait party” in Raleigh last weekend. The shoot was put together by Raleigh area photographers Brian Mullens and Kittie Deemer. Other photographers attending included Ken Luallen and Patricia Suzanne. Our two models, Lauren and Heather, did a wonderful job. There’s nothing more fun than having the opportunity to make artistic images with pretty girls wearing bridal gowns in unusual places.
Hope you enjoy!

Hang on!
