That's right, another adorable baby! My neighbors had a beautiful baby girl named Ariella. (Kind of like the little mermaid.) Here are some of her 1 yr pics!

My good friend, Blake, decided to run for Salisbury City Council in 2009 and asked me if I could help a little with his campaign. So, we went downtown and took some pics.

It was an honor to take Hallie's 1 year portraits, almost exactly only year after we did her first family portraits. She is a doll! And again, we got to be in the great outdoors.

Sisters are the cutest. (Especially when they're your nieces.) Here are some pics when Atalie was one month old. Boy has she changed!

Casey's Graduation Shoot

One of the things I love about spring and this time of year is the opportunity to get back outside and have some fun outdoor photo shoots. So, a couple weeks ago, I took East Rowan senior Casey Little to downtown Salisbury for an outdoor graduation shoot. The weather was perfect as we went from alleyways, to railroad tracks, to even the courthouse steps having fun and snappin' it up. Here are some shots from the day. Take note of the last one - that was his home run ball from the previous night's game. Congrats, Casey! (I'm suddenly reminded of "Casey at Bat".) Good luck at WVU in the fall!

Jenny's Bridal Session

This bridal portrait session was lots of fun. The gardens in Kannapolis were the perfect backdrop. And my assistant, Toni, rocked! Jenny & Tyler tie the knot in May. So here are some images from her bridal portrait session. Check out that dress!

My sister's best friend, Jessica, plans on making a career out of acting. But in the meantime, she's looking into modeling. So this week I met up with her and we took a few shots of her for an upcoming interview with a modeling agency. Here's a few shots!
