While in North Carolina earlier this week for Zach and Meredith’s wedding I visited Moore’s Creek National Battlefield Park. My Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather, Zachariah Harman, fought against the Loyalists at this battle under the command of Patriot officer, Richard Caswell.
For you history buffs, the battle of Moore’s Creek Bridge was a major victory for the Patriots and led to the end of British rule in North Carolina forever. I’m proud to say my direct ancestor fought to establish the freedom that we so often take for granted today. He fought for America before it was America, and for that I’m thankful.
The following two images show the reconstructed earthen mounds that the Patriots constructed late into the night/early morning just before the battle.


This is the reconstructed bridge over the creek. Its said that the Patriots removed the planking and also greased down the support railings making it difficult to cross for the unfortunate Loyalists.

The creek was so peaceful the day I was there. Must have been quite the opposite then, seeing the bodies of dead Loyalists floating in the creek after the smoke cleared.

Loved this monument under the big oak. The National Parks Service says, “The Heroic Women’s Monument at Moores Creek National Battlefield is believed to be the only monument in America to 18th century women and their sacrifices during the American Revolution.”

Earlier this week I traveled to Outer Banks, North Carolina for Zach and Meredith’s Memorial Day wedding. If you’ve never been to the Outer Banks you should definitely go. It’s so beautiful. Here are a few that caught my eye.

Congratulations Zach and Meredith!

A few from Kyle and Annette’s Atlanta wedding…
I know I often choose this shot as one of the sneak peeks, but its always such a great moment seeing a couple *just* after saying I do.

What makes this next shot special??…the fact that just down the hill were thousands of people at the Atlanta Jazz Festival, and you’d never know it.

Kyle and Annette know how to party. They seriously had the floor of the Piedmont Room bouncing.

Congrats Kyle and Annette!!

I met up with Tom, Katie, and baby Laura last week for an amazing portrait session. I’ve known Tom for over twenty years and it was great catching up with him and the family. This was my first time meeting little Laura.
cuteness overload…

look at those gorgeous eyes and big ol’ baby cheeks!




the family…




I set up a mini-on-location-studio inside and did a few shots. Love love this one…
