As mainly Raleigh family and children portrait photographer, I treasure opportunities to capture family moments outside the Raleigh area. The fun time we had at the beautiful Reynolda Gardens in Winston-Salem spending time with Ella Grace, Jonathan and Stacey makes it even more of treat for me. Whether it was chasing Ella through some...
Both my older brother and I were children of the 70s. For most part , it seems that I followed his foot steps on most things especially sports. For music especially KISS music, things were a little different. I forged the path to his enlightenment. I am glad that this is one of the many...
August is a big month for birthdays. This past Saturday, I was invited to photograph a very special 70th birthday party. I have been working on the images from this event and I could not resist sharing some of the food shots. Man, I am getting hungry looking at them. Here’s some fruits of my...

There are many great places here in North Carolina including the beaches and mountains. North Carolina scenery makes it easier for a Raleigh NC portrait and event photographer like me to find interesting places to shoot creative images. You can also find great places to eat here. Nothing beats two flavors of North Carolina barbeque...
