Marsha and Tony one of the first things I walked away with after being with you on your special day was how loved you both are by your family and friends. I really enjoyed the stories told by both fathers and both of your close friends who made a humorous and yet very heart felt speech. I wish you both many happy years together and here are a couple shots that I liked.
This was one family shoot I had been looking forward to for some time. I have known Jes and Rob for a number of years but have not got together with them in a long time. So with the new arrival of Ellie which I might add she is a little ham and the chance to hang with them it was all play and,,well,,no work. The original plan was to do a beach session but with higher then normal winds and blowing sand it was not a place for such a young baby. So we picked the next cool spot off the top of my head and made the choice to take the tour of Norfolk Botanical Gardens and I am glad we did. Jes and Rob, you both look great and I am very happy for your new edition in your life.
I had some down time this week and took Madison out along with the camera of course. It seems like I don’t get to spend to much time with her due to my busy work flow. Today I took a look at her and could not believe how big and how fast she is growing up. I wish I could stop her at this age. The next couple of weekends should be busy with some new photos from weddings and family portraits. I have posted two of the photos I took of her which I liked.
We are in a great time span for surfing photography and with the latest in tropical waves and hurricanes this is a great time for those wow shots I really enjoy. I wants to offer a two hour session to the first surfer who wants to get some crazy shots. All you have to do is contact me so we can set up a time and date as well as a location. Tropical storm Hanna is rolling in as well as Hurricane Ike which is giving double wave action up the East coast. I would like someone who can stay on the board and has some experience so the outcome is good on the camera as well. I look forward to hearing from you surfers and bodyboarders very soon. Hang Tight…
Wow, that was a mouth full but it all falls into place for an engagement session that took place this weekend at First Landing State Park. I had a great time with Marsha and Tony and I have to say I also took much enjoyment in watching Nani and Nalu (Miniature Greyhound) tear up the beach at 100 mph. Hawaiian name for Nani is “beautiful” and Nalu means “wave” which is where Marsha and Tony spent sometime before moving here to the East coast. Marsha met Tony in San Diego at a bar in P.F. Changs on her Spring Break and took a chance of leaving the bar with him to go to a barbeque he was hosting at his house, well, you can see that was a worth while chance. Marsha is a high school teacher and Tony is a resident doctor and both have a love for wine. A favorite might be a big and bold cabernet or a special one they are saving for the honeymoon called Beringer Reserve. Marsha and Tony you’ll have to let me know how that one taste. See you guys in October for the wedding, I can’t wait..
