4 Teenagers = Fun! Fun! Fun!

Yesterday afternoon my girlfriend and I headed out with 4 teenagers - her two kids and each of their sweeties. The main goal was to capture an image of her two for their annual Christmas card photo. But the kids also wanted pics of themselves with their sweeties. Let me just say, there's not a bad photo in the bunch!!! These guys were AWESOME!!! Despite the fact that it was a tad chilly and the wind was howling, we had a great time!

Here's one of all four of them together. The cool thing about this photo is that each of these kids represents their school on different teams. We have a football player, a cheerleader, a volleyball player and a band member. So they each brought their respective shirts and props and .... well just look at this image! Cool, huh??!!! I love it! (I admit, this was my girlfriend's idea. She has some good ones from time to time. hah!)

I have many, many more awesome images from this bunch, but will not be able to show you too many until after Christmas! Don't want to let the cat out of the bag, ya know! But I will have a few more peeks soon, so be sure and check back!

One Wild & Crazy Group

I've only got one to share right now, but I promise I'll have more later. Met this group at beautiful Murray's Mill yesterday afternoon. What a bunch of nuts! They had me laughing the entire time! I could do an entire blooper reel from the photos I took yesterday!!! Here's one of their milder moments...



Thanks guys! Can't wait to show you the rest! There's so many good ones, I don't think I can pick a favorite!

Classic 1946 Studebaker

Do ya'll remember this beauty from last year? Well, I went back out this week to take her portrait again. I'm working on a large photo project for a new doctor's office opening in Lincolnton next month. I'll have more on that later. Anyway, this beautiful old truck may be gracing one of their walls. I love it!!! Too bad today's cars don't posess this kinda style!

Beautiful Murray's Mill

This morning a friend and I went to Murray's Mill in Catawba, NC. It's my first time going and I just fell in love with the place. So beautiful! The mill was built in 1913 by John Murray and is now a National Register Historic Site.




It couldn't have been a more perfect day for picture taking. Look at the beautiful fall colors and the fluffy clouds in the sky ... it was just perfect.
















An interesting note I read about the mill ... it is said that William's original dam stands beneath the surface of the present pond. How cool! I wish I could have seen it!

This would be a positively gorgeous place to take portraits. There are so many scenic spots to shoot and little places to sit all over the place. So when you're booking your appointments be sure and keep this place in mind for a photo shoot!

The "H" Girls

~ sweet ~

Ok.... One More Post

As I continue to edit the photos from last weekend, I keep coming across ones that I love and want to share. So here's just a few more from the "H" family!

This one makes me laugh. I think she was flirting with me!

I love all the jersey shots. I felt so bad for Mommy H though. In her rush to get everyone else ready for the photo session she left the house without her own jersey. Luckily she had on a plain white tee under her sweater. She fit in just perfectly!





These are just precious...

Mommy, Daddy & Me

Little Miss "S" brought along her Mommy & Daddy on Sunday. They are all so photogenic! Makes my work easy!

Miss "S" just wanted to get down and go-go-go! I was happy to get any kind of eye contact with her. And a smile - they were fleeting! I think we managed to get one or two. But who needs a smile with beautiful eyes like hers!
