Today I’ve launched a new website! For those of you who may not know, I do commercial work as well. Focusing on small business is my strength. I find great satisfaction in making a seemingly small business look as good as the big guys. Small business is what drives this country, and I’m proud to be a part of making it a continued success.

If you are a small business owner or know someone who is, take some time to see what I have to offer. I think you’ll like what you see.

Here is a screen shot from the new site!

Had another shoot with my friends from the band Ocean is Theory. You’ll soon see some of these shots on a total redesign of their myspace page.

off of Old Canton Rd. in Marietta…

some individual shots…

this shot pretty much sums up Clay…

another group shot…

Special thanks goes to Steven Wallace, my assistant on this shoot.

Matt and Courtney are friends of mine, so shooting their wedding was good times. The ceremony was held at Westminster Presbyterian and the reception that followed was at The Solarium. Here are several images from their big day…

Kevin and Micaela’s wedding was at The Fernbank Museum. What an incredible place to shoot! I have two 1st Picks to share:

Micaela sitting in one of the windows on the third floor…gorgeous…

Next, to give everyone an idea of how fun the reception was I chose this one of Kevin…

Stay tuned for more!

Had a great time shooting Matt and Courtney’s wedding. My 1st pick image was shot as Matt and Courtney were being announced at the start of their reception. This image has a simpleness to it that I really like. Behind me stood a crowd of their friends and family welcoming the new couple.

I had a great time hanging out with Cliff and Heather last week for their engagement shoot. Cliff is in the military and is stationed out of Columbus, GA. I met up with the two of them in downtown LaGrange, GA.

If you’ve never been to LaGrange, you should go. Its really beautiful. Now onto the images…

found this really cool red gate…

Cliff and Heather were complete naturals at this…

I like the contrast of rugged and dainty in this one…

its the south…gotta have Coke…

After we shot around downtown LaGrange, we went out to a area that is very special to me. Its near the little community of Odessadale where my family owns land. My ancestors settled the area in the 1820’s after migrating to Georgia from N. Carolina.

we stopped along the way in Mountville (history tidbit: the oldest settlement in Troup county)…

just off Harman Rd….

and finally…I had to get that gorgeous sunset in…

Thanks Cliff and Heather! I’m really looking forward to shooting your wedding.

Just got back a bit ago from a preview showing of the soon to be released OneLight DVD. OneLight is the work of my good friend and colleague Zack Arias. Back in 2006 I attended Zack’s workshop and it totally changed the way I shoot. What Zack does with lighting is nothing short of amazing.

For all you photographers out there, trust me, this DVD will be money well spent. Check out the disc one trailer/montage below.

Matt and Anna’s beautiful wedding last year at Early Hill Plantation has been featured on Southern Wedding Style Magazine’s blog.

If you need ideas for your wedding, Southern Wedding Style Magazine is an amazing resource. Be sure to check it out!

FYI…the Early Hill Plantation website is currently undergoing a face-lift and is offline.

So this past memorial day, Bethany and I got together with our really good friends Dan and Anne Almasy. We grilled out and then had a photo-swap! Dan and Anne are both amazing photographers. I am a huge fan of their work.

Its such a blessing to have such great friends who are also photographers! They have imparted much wisdom to me concerning the photography biz and specifically wedding photography. You can check out their stellar work here and also see some shots they did of Bethany and I on their blog here.

Now the images…

love this…

Dan and I ripped the viewfinder off one of my old polaroid cameras and did some “through the lens” aka TTL shots. This is the result… Pretty cool huh?

Here is a shot of Anne. For you photographers out there…no, I didn’t do anything to Anne’s eyes. They really are that brilliant!

The following images are from what Bethany and Anne coined as a “friend shoot.” They have become really good friends over the past year or so. FACT: They are wearing each other’s jeans.

yeah…i know…

Dan and Anne…love you two!

A couple weeks back, Bethany and I were invited to join our good friends Greg and Jessica in Gulf Shores for a little mini vacation. Jessica’s dad has a sweet condo there. It was a fabulous trip and good times were had by all.

I did a little photo shoot with Greg and Jessica at this really cool old military fort….

notice the sign…

Had to do a jump shot of course…this is actually a very natural thing for Greg and Jessica

aww…look at these two…

I showed Greg these and he responded… “I think my wife is hot.”

Bethany and Jessica…

and of course *my* hot wife…

If I had to describe Greg using only one image…this would be it…

Greg and Jessica’s super cute little dog “Poopeye” came along on the trip. She got her very own photo shoot as well. Seriously, she *knew* she was having her picture taken.

The beautiful pier out into the bay that we basically had all to ourselves…

Greg and I did *a lot* of fishing…

There was some crabin’ as well…

On our last day there we all went to a wonderful little beignet shop. Bethany definitely enjoyed it!

And finally, I will leave you with this…
