Winter Wonderland

Sometimes its fun just to take pictures for pictures sake! I haven't done that in a while, admittedly. But yesterday, I got the chance. As many of you easterners know, we experienced a great snowfall this week. I haven't seen snow like this since my senior year in college! Anyway, we stayed up late with our next door neighbors, watching it accumulate. But was awoken early the next morning by my sisters puppy (who is staying with us for the week). I'm not a morning person, but when I went outside I was glad the pup woke me up at 6:30am! The winter wonderland was well worth it. So, the rest of the day was spent taking pictures of the beautiful view and some fun too. Enjoy!

My sister claims this looks like a Folgers commercial.

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!

Koontz Family Portraits

Before the holidays, my best friend's family always gather together for a family portrait. In years past, they've let the timer do the work. But this year, they decided to call me up. I was a bit nervous taking a portrait with this many children, but thankfully all the eyes & smiles came together for a great family memory! Merry Christmas!

A friend of mine attends Catawba College here in Salisbury and recruited my help on a Music Business project. They had to promote an artist from start to finish. So, they brought me in to take care of the photography. Lisa was the subject; not only is she gorgeous, but I also got to hear her sing, and she has a great voice! Who knows, you may be seeing this face quite a lot in the next few years. Look out world, here comes Lisa Easter.

This summer, my friends and former youth group members, Bryan and Ashley got engaged! Recently I took the two of them out for an engagement shoot. We went to downtown Salisbury, as well as Hurley Park (where they got engaged). Here are some favorites from the day.
