Back Home...

Mom, Kellie, Mackenzie, Makayla, and I rolled into the driveway this morning shortly before 1:30 a.m. We're all worn out; but we had a great time!

I had a WONDERFUL time at the Mike Fulton Workshop in Ocean Springs, MS. Mike is co-owner of Tricoast Photography; and is one of the nations top wedding photogs! I can't wait to start applying some of the techniques I learned from Mike! I'll post some of those pic's soon!

Dauphin Island - Let's Go to the Beach!

Well, Kellie and I are off to Dauphin Island early in the morning, along with our girls and my mother! Kellie's parents are also coming down for the weekend. We've rented a four bedroom HOUSE right on the beach, where I'm hoping to do some beach photography of the family. Next Tuesday and Wednesday, I'm going to a photography seminar in Ocean Springs, Mississippi (about an hour away from where we're staying); and I hope to leave there with a more in-depth knowledge of on-location photography! The class is being instructed by Mike Fulton - a fabulous on-location and wedding photographer. A cool thing about the place where my class is being held is that it is in the old high school building where my mom went to school back when she lived in Ocean Springs in the late 60's! What a coincedence, huh?
Also, I just got back Dauphin Island Sunday, after a weekend fishing trip with a bunch of friends. The picture below is the bounty of the crew from Boss Man. It was a lot of fun! After we got back to shore, we took little Emily over to the beach to capture a few beach shots of her and some with her family too. She's the daughter of my good friends Kyle & Amy. You can see all of my pictures on my MySpace page (if you're a friend).
Anyhow, if you know anybody going to the Gulf this weekend, tell 'em to look me up; and we'll do some beach photography!

Zilah

Remember Zilah? She's already nine months old! Zilah wasn't feeling too good this morning; but she managed to pull it together long enough to smile and strike a few poses. Here's a little preview of our time we spent together in the studio this morning!
Studio? No - it's no where near finished; but that is where we shot today! I have another appointment coming up in just a few minutes; and so I've got to go get ready for that now!
