Laura & Billy are expecting...

...and here are a couple images from Laura's maternity session. What an adorable couple! I can't wait to see how gorgeous little Grant is going to be.

FIVE TROPHIES!!!

It was very exciting to win big again at Triangle's winter meeting. I took first place in the individual folio catagory with images of Chelsea (high school senior), first place in the wedding folio category with images of Malissa & John, and Julie and I took first, second, and third place in the multi-maker wedding album category with wedding albums of Talia & Kenny, Janelle & Shaun and Kristen & Craig.

Bridal Show at the Jaffa

Today was the 2008 Wedding Extravaganza at the Jaffa Mosque in Altoona. Julie and I had a great time meeting lots of brides and other vendors. Here are a few images of our booth...

A little more Nashville...

One of our favorite parts of the TN tour was the Opryland Hotel in Nashville.

Nashville will never be the same...

The folks in Nashville gave us a very warm reception. I love this southern hospitality! A few of them even took us out for dessert after our program. Here are some images from the Nashville leg of our TN tour...

We ran into a super nice group of bikers who are members of the Patriot Guard Riders. They were going to the airport to welcome home a soldier. What a beautiful mission these folks do. It was an honor to meet them.

Fun time tonight in Memphis...

Tamar and I enjoyed speaking to the Memphis guild of the TN professsional photographers. A special thanks to Benne and David for taking us down to Beale Street afterwards to hear an awesome and at the Rum Boogie Cafe.

More images from Tampa....

We visited the Tampa Aquarium where I got to play with my new camera (point and shoot).

2007 INTERNATIONAL PRINT COMPETITION

I was so honored to have my print "Madeline" go loan at the PPA International Print Competition. When a print goes loan that means it has been selected from all the merited prints in the competition to be published in The Loan Collection book. It was exciting to see it hanging with other loan prints at the Image Expo in Tampa this week. It's a very special image to me because the subject is Madeline, my assistant Julie Buck's adorable little girl. This is me standing beside the image - and no, the print of the car is not mine.

Imaging USA Tampa, FL

I just got home today from Imaging USA . I had such a good time reuniting with some of my "old" photographer friends and making new ones. One of my favorite things about my life is the opportunities I have to meet new people. I had so much fun in Tampa that I want to share some of the photos of my friends and maybe later I'll share some images I took of the beautiful city of Tampa.

First Session of 2008!

Paul and Nicole were such a fun-loving couple. They braved the freezing cold and blustery wind for this January engagement session. Thanks guys!
