a moment in time.

A little late getting these up, but Christmas is always hectic around here!  I wanted to work in the first ‘brothers’ photoshoot with Quinn and Simon.  I could cry, it turned out so perfect.  The boys were perfect for the 20 or so minutes it took before they gave up!  Actually, within about 5, Quinn was bored, and making silly faces, and shortly thereafter, Simon began crying.  But for that 5 minutes, that moment of time, they were perfect, loving, sweet brothers.  And that’s all i really wanted.  just that moment.

The 25 days of Cookies.

It has begun.  That frantic rush to ‘create’ things, particularly baked ‘things’, as an ode to the holidays.  Don’t know what peanut butter cookies have to do with the three wise men, but something, i’m sure.

Oh, and the white stuff sandwiched in between?  Marshmallow fluff.  Yup.  I’m getting fancy.  :)

Party Planning 101

It’s always fun to work with new designers, and this shoot was no exception.  Party Planners from Jon David Designs were given the task of designing a baby shower on a budget, and did not disappoint.  So much fun, with all of the colors and beautiful food!

 

Tiana, part deux…

TTiana (you remember her from this past summer) needed some edgier, more high fashion looks, for her comp card for Carolina Talent.  It’s always a pleasure to shoot new models, and know that they are going somewhere with their careers.  Tiana is so young, 16 to be exact, and shows such a maturity in front of the lens.

 

Can’t wait to see what the next year brings for her!!!

Simply Simon…

I have been hiding out lately, taking the time to spend with my family, and my newest addition, Simon.  Wanted to post a pic of this precious little creature today, before i get too busy in the coming weeks to do so.  Here is our newest love, and what a crazy month it has been!

So help me in welcoming little Simon Cooper Westmoreland.

Tiana

Can you believe that Tiana is only 16 years old?  She had such pose and took such great direction for her first modeling session, I have absolutely no doubt that she will do well!

We had such a great time, and even spent some time swimming after the pool session.  I love my job!

All in the Family…

Family Portrait for our cousin’s, Nate and Monica Jones and their three boys.  A long, hot, sultry evening on the farm, and some wonderful images.  Love creating magic for our family.

My boy…

As he gets older, he gets harder to capture, and I’m sure it will only get worse.  So for every 100 images I snap of this enigma that my son is becoming I get about 10 images that I love, that show me his soul.  I’m sure, being a man, he’ll never EVER wear his heart on his sleeve again, but for now, I get to capture that 10% of the time.  For now.

Granny’s Towels…

After a shoot for Our State Magazine last week, I was left with several of Granny’s vintage towels and aprons, all of which needed to be washed.  I couldn’t resist a shoot, with some of my fresh mint and hydrangeas from the garden.  Makes me glad I’m able to preserve this part of her.

enjoy!

Daily Greens…

Shooting Vegetables this week, to send to my Highschool Friend to use on her website.  I LOVE the clean, green look of this asparagus, and actually am going to grill it tomorrow!

 

enjoy!
