Thanks so much for stopping by to check out our blog! We are always changing things here and hoping to use this as a place to connect with new clients and keep in touch with all our friends. We try to post new images almost every day, sometimes more... sometimes less, you know how it is. :) Videos, photos from our jobs, and our family as well. If you have not met our kids, Sara & John, you will soon meet them here!
We have been so completely blessed by God, with our family and our work that we have to share it with you!
I have a love/hate relationship with “the beach” I suppose it depends on which beach we are talking about. I was at Myrtle Beach in June, it was surface of the sun hot and I don’t mix with weather like that. This last weekend though, I was fortunate enough to be invited to photograph a beautiful wedding in the Outer Banks area near Nags Head, N.C. The weather was perfect, just warm enough, breezy and beautiful. The Outer Banks area tends to have a more relaxed atmosphere than Myrtle, or the other larger tourist magnets. Anyway, after wedding day, somehow I managed to drag myself out of bed around 4:30 am to hit the beach and work on some personal images. I was the first one out in my area of the beach, and it was very dark, with the only sound the crashing surf. As the morning came, I was joined by a man surf casting, and a woman in a lawn chair just taking in the beauty of God’s handiwork. A man walking his dogs, and early morning beach combers with flashlights.
The day unfolded perfectly, beautifully. Here are a few examples of what was there, although you have to imagine the sound of the surf and smell of the salt water, and the sand between your toes. Thanks Carrie & Matt for adopting us for the weekend, you gave us something we were in sore need of, each other.
Think the OBX could use another resident photographer?… Hmmmmm.
We had the pleasure once again this year to attend the ordinance of Baptism at our little country church in Sedalia, Va. The creek that flows behind our church, on the Coleman farm is pleasantly cold in late August, and the perfect setting to see people washed clean. I don’t talk a lot about my faith in my blog posts, but it’s an integral part of who I am, and I wanted to link to an article that expresses in detail what we witnessed last Sunday by Pastor John Piper.
The New Testament teaches very plainly that we are saved by faith. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved” (Acts 16:31; see also John 3:16). “By grace you were saved through faith and that not of yourselves” (Eph. 2:8). “For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith” (Gal. 3:26).
We had our good friends, Paul & Priscilla Webel over for an afternoon maternity shoot last week. They are expecting little Joshua paul’s arrival in September, so we thought we had better get these done! Stay tuned, no doubt there will be baby pictures soon to come!!
Little Colin’s mom & dad brought him by to visit for a few minutes a while back to celebrate his first birthday! We really enjoyed having him & his folks over for cookies and just having fun! Thanks Colin! Happy Birthday!!!
Matt & Carrie came to us a few months ago about working with them on their amazing Nags Head beach wedding that we will shoot on the 29th! Of course we said YES! Carrie was in Becky & Daryl Huddleston’s wedding that we shot last year. What a thrill it is for us to be contacted by someone from a previous wedding! I Love it! I knew that I wanted to shoot Matt & Carrie’s wedding from the moment we met! They are both so much fun and so easy to work with! They came out from Richmond to take a tour of downtown Roanoke with us last weekend and we had a blast! Thanks so much you two for asking us to be a part of your big day, we can’t wait!
