the results of following small children around with a camera.

recently i showcased pictures of dolfy taken with my new portrait lens, but today i added pictures of this beautiful little girl to my portfolio! there were some super sweet shots which are under portraits>kids in my portfolio, and here are some others that came in close seconds.

after several days of following her around with a camera, she was a little irritated and began to say “bye bye!” when i would pull out the camera, haha.

in other news, the weather should be getting nicer soon and i have a pretty booked spring in terms of portraits and a wedding to shoot in may. other than that i’ve been filling my time reading, watching 24, and playing resident evil 5. the weather better break soon so i can get out of the house. ;)

mini gallery at wine ‘n things next week!

this past week obviously didn’t have a lot of updates. i was sick for a majority of the week with a random bug and the weather has been less than spectacular. however, there is very exciting photography news!

i am very happy to announce that i will be hanging a mini gallery at Wine ‘n Things on Creedmoor Rd. in Raleigh. there will be six 8x10s matted, framed, and available for purchase starting the week of march 9th. it’s a very impressive and popular wine store and i am honored to have a chance to have my work seen by their customers.

in personal news, the kittens got a new cat tree that is holding their interest quite well:

also, a few of us went bowling this weekend for the first time in a looong time. back in pittsburgh there are tons of bowling alleys, but it doesn’t seem like there are too many in raleigh. also, pittsburgh has a lot of what i call “organic” bowling alleys – i.e. bowling alleys without all the hoopla of giant screens that drop from the ceiling, black lights, and glow-in-the-dark murals. they’re just bowling alleys. the alley we went to last night was anything but organic… and i have to admit, it’s really hard to concentrate on your game when there’s a large screen showing marky mark and the funky bunch.

strrrrrike!

little signs of spring.

today is the opening page of my photoblog. :)

we just recently got the website up and running and it looks great – thanks geoff! i also decided to add the photoblog as a way for friends, family, and clients to see recent photographs, keep up on announcements, etc.

we’ve been hitting the streets advertising, getting ready to photograph a wedding in the spring, and (of course) impatiently waiting for spring. the weather had been wonderful (in the 60s and 70s) for about two weeks, but now raleigh’s dropped about 20 degrees. just enough to make my fingers slightly uncomfortable while taking photographs.

besides the dogwood trees that bloomed when the weather was nicer, there are still little signs of spring around if you look hard enough:
