Personal blog of photographer, father, and technology geek Steve Jackle.
Tonight, I was perusing the wedding photographic society forum. A comment was made to another forum participant that he needed to add an avatar to his profile so people could associate a face with a forum post at our bi-monthly meetings. This is something that I have not done yet either. So I grabbed one...
Recently, I experienced my first opportunity to be a second shooter for a wedding held at the Benson Memorial United Methodist church with the reception at the Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley Hotel. Congratulations to Caroline and Jeff ! You and your families and friends are a great bunch of people! Your wedding was a blast!...
The last few posts to this blog have centered around my recent family trip to the Grayson Highlands State Park. My sister-in-law Lori Lipkin and brother-in-law Craig Setzer arranged the whole thing and I was glad that we were able to participate in the festivities. We had a blast especially with the bike ride on...
On the way back from the camping trip, we spent the night at my mother-in-law Carole’s home. The plan was to drop off Sophia for a few days with her grandma while she was still out of school. As tradition as Carole’s house, we woke to a very nice breakfast meal. It was no different...
As mentioned in my previous post, we went camping in Virginia this past weekend. One of the things we did was a 17+ mile mountain bike trail called the Creeper trail. To be honest I was a little scared about this adventure. It has been several years since I rode a bike. What if I...

This was the first time we took the girls camping. My sister-in-law Lori booked all of us the group camp site in the campground that resides in this...
I was messing around with one of my favorite “live in” models today. I was playing around with making a triangle with my hands as I shot Sophia using a tripod. I was trying to get a “frame within a frame” type of composition. Well, I am going to do some more work on this...
The July 4th weekend means celebration for many Americans. In North Carolina, many folks in our area head to the beach for the weekend. This weekend is the busiest weekend for the North Carolina beaches. Some celebrate by grilling hot dogs and hamburgers in the backyard and shooting off their own firework displays. Others head...
Back in April, Hilburn Elementary School presented a school play called “It’s a Jungle Out There.” I finally had a chance to post some of the pictures from this event now. Here is a slideshow of all the pictures. Facebook Readers: Click here to see the slideshow. Hope you enjoy the pictures ! Happy 4th...
Last week, my wife had a well deserved Girls night out(GNO) with her friends. This provided me with the opportunity to spend a little time with my girls. Well, my girls told me that I needed to stay downstairs and wait for “The Show” at 7 PM. In the meantime, I heard a little music...
