I remember Daddy´s hands, folded silently in prayer.
And reaching out to hold me, when I had a nightmare.
You could read quite a story, in the callouses and lines.
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind.
I remember Daddy´s hands, how they held my Mama tight,
And patted my back, for something done right.
There are things...

Daddy’s Hands
Taking a Break…
Whew! The last order has been sent and I am shifting gears from work to home. I will be “off duty” for a couple of weeks to enjoy the holidays with my family in both NC and GA. I cannot thank you all enough for your support and patronage of my business. It is truly,...
What you don’t see…
is the on-again-off-again rain, the muddy barns, the nosey pony trying to nibble on the boys, the frigid wind when it blew. You would never know this was a less than perfect photo session by the images we captured. I have always believed the Mom in the family sets the emotional barometer and beautiful P...
There are just some clients……..
that don’t fit into a Sears Portrait studio shoot. A standard backdrop in a confined studio just won’t do. They are individual, creative, confident and unique. I am so on board with shooting “outside of the box”!!
D is 11 years-old, wears his hair long and shaggy (for now), sports a pink lacrosse stick just to...
Christmas Baby
What a neat shoot. I have never had the chance to photograph a pregnant woman at Christmas time and it was such a pleasure. We were able to incorporate some Christmas elements too which made it extra fun.
Of course another pregnancy crossed my mind as I focused on her sweet, growing belly.
Mary and Joseph traveled...
Sweet Stranger
I was totally flattered when sweet, “L”, told me she has followed my blog for a year. Sometimes cyber space can feel very lonely and I have no idea if anyone out there is even reading my posts or following my work at all. She was a delightful young woman and we had a great...
Puppy Love
I am certainly no expert in pet photography but I know cute when I see it! Rocky is a 15 year old dalmation with the sweetest, gentlest demeanor. He also happens to be the love of his owner’s life. She wanted a few pictures of her baby in front of the Christmas tree and he...
Urban Family Christmas
I have been sitting on these pictures since September. This handsome family just so happens to be my minister and his crew and now that their Christmas card is out, it is safe to show them off!
Our church launched a satellite campus this year in Monroe and has been very active in reviving and helping...
Vintage Christmas
I have been shooting all week in an old historic home. The owners speculate it was built at the turn of the century and I love the bones of this place. Maybe that is why I felt inspired to shoot my girls’ Christmas portraits with an old-fashioned flair. Timeless beauty never goes out of style,...
