One of the best things about my job is being a part of my customer’s lives for the long haul. Back when I was shooting portraits in my basement, before I built a studio and business, I had photographed Selena’s senior portraits. Hers were even one of the very first senior portrait sessions I ever […]

Engagement Session Chris and Susan
I love photographing couples in love. Most of the time this is during a wedding ceremony, or the fun reception that follows. Since many of our couples come from all over the country to plan their destination wedding on Tybee. I don’t always get the chance to shoot the fun engagement sessions. But I was […]
South Magazine Photo Contest
I don’t enter many contests, as I usually just keep busy with my business and my own creative work. However, I have entered a contest called “South’s Greatest Photographer” It is with a magazine here in Savannah that publishes beautiful issues. The local exposure would be fantastic if I could place in this contest. So […]
Fall Photo Tip: Using Leading Lines
Fall has arrived and that means one of the best times to take beautiful pictures. With the sun being lower there are longer shadows cast and warmer light which make the colors just burst out of the frame. As you take your fall photo hike or simply have your iPhone in hand when you walk […]

Early morning hours, after nursing the baby, I would learn to finish an image in Photoshop, teach myself a new software system, read a marketing article, communicate with […]
The day I met the love of my life.
You just never know what a day will bring. Twenty five years ago this week, I attended a christian rock concert where I first saw the man that I would marry and spend the rest of my life with. I was taking some darkroom photography classes at Northern Virginia community college, working on an independent […]
Stained Glass and Poolside Dancing
Many of the weddings we photograph here on Tybee take place on the beach…which is no doubt a beautiful location. But Kathryn and Patrick chose to have a traditional church wedding. I really enjoyed the challenge of shooting this ceremony that took place in Saint Michael’s Church. Lighting in churches can be tricky, but […]
Part of my history arrived in a box today.
Life mentor. What face comes to mind when you hear those words? I see several. But one in particular takes me back to when I was 17. Already passionate for photography, I had just set up my first dark room and was snapping pictures all of the time. I met professional fine art photographer, […]
A Reel Life. {pun intended}
Turning the pages I fantasized about the life that the author described. Communing with family and friends. Finding life in each day working and playing in community. I found this book in a small local book store in Mystic CT when I was visiting my oldest son. This was two nights before hurricane Irene was […]
