The Campus-Prom 2009

Last Friday, The Campus held a Valediction Ball at the Wyndham Hotel in Peachtree City. I was asked to do portraits for the event. With the help of Clay (my brother-in-law) and Michelle (of LAPID photography) the shoot was a success. I am VERY happy with how the pictures turned out and would do it again anytime. The pictures below have been added to my portfolio.

TOMS "One Day Without Shoes" April 16th, 2009

Today, nationwide, people are going without shoes to raise awareness.

Most children in developing countries grow up barefoot and walking is often their primary mode of transportation. They can walk for miles to get food, water, shelter and medical help. Wearing shoes literally enables them to walk distances that aren't possible barefoot.

Wearing shoes prevents feet from getting cuts and sores on unsafe roads and from contaminated soil. These wounds are painful and dangerous when they become infected. The leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted parasites which penetrate the skin through open sores. Wearing shoes can prevent this and the risk of amputation.

Four of the planet's six billion people live in conditions inconceivable to many.

Thanks to TOMS Shoes, less and less children have to face life barefoot.

TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: For every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One.

Please join us today by taking off your shoes and spending the day barefoot.

Wedding Shower Invitations

So, I'm on a postcard kick right now. A couple months ago, I did a shoot with Jamey for her baby shower invitations which we....that's right, you guessed it....made using postcards. Long story short Mackenzie (the third stooge) LOVED them and wanted to use postcards for her long time best friend's wedding shower. "I am the maid of honor so I feel like its my job to make everything perfect." I guess it was last week sometime that Mackenzie came over and we threw some stuff together to make what will go down in history as the BEST POSTCARD EVER..haha..well, I like it anyway.

Brookwood Grill Roswell, Ga

Phew. Last night, I finished editing the pictures I took at Brookwood Grill about two and a half weeks ago. This was a unique job in that this restaurant had a very small amount of light to work with. On top of which, there was no room for a tripod and no time to adjust settings between shots. I did my very best but walked away slightly discouraged. I'm not so sure I will be accepting any more of these jobs without first aquiring faster lenses.
