Every year my favorite neighborhood in Durham throws an epic Halloween block party and this year was no different. I get a kick out seeing all the kids in costume and trying to remember what they were the year before. It was a perfect fall night for trick or treating and everyone that came seemed […]
Every weekend in October the Pumpkin Patch Express runs at The Museum of Life and Science in Durham. If you’ve got little ones you’ve got to check out this event. It’s a great way to spend a fall afternoon. Simply register for tickets here, pick your time and then take a train ride out to […]
This past weekend I convinced Clarissa to go to the Harvest and Hornworm festival with me over at the historic Duke Homestead. There were going to be craft booths, antique displays, live music and people dressed up in period costumes! Clarissa was a little less than thrilled about this event. As I was telling her […]
The best part about being a photographer is getting to see your subjects grow up before your very eyes. I was lucky enough to be invited to Owen’s 3rd birthday party a few weeks ago and it’s amazing to me how grown up he and all his friends have gotten. I feel like I just […]
I met up with Zachary and Kathryn last week right before their prom. From the looks of it every single high school this side of the Mississippi was having their prom on the same night and they were all out at the gardens for photos. It was such great people watching, what with all the […]
This kid is awesome. No really, if given the choice between hanging out with a bunch of 30 somethings waxing poetic about the world or spending an afternoon discussing the differences between chalk and crayons with this little guy, I’m choosing the crayon conversation. Perhaps if I had kids of my own I wouldn’t be […]
Like I’ve already stated THIS was one heck of a wedding party, there was a whole dance routine to Michael Jackson’s thriller, some twist and shout monkey business, more than one beautiful and funny toasts and a lot of laughter. I really didn’t want to leave I was having so much fun!
Where can you find a robot, a dinosaur, Woody and a tiny George Washington Carver all sharing a snack together? Well I found them all at a local neighborhood Halloween party. What a great idea if you have small kids. These guys put together one heck of a party for all the local kids. There […]
I didn’t realize how long I had been away from the blog until Staley’s mom, Betsy, called me to see if I would photograph his 2nd birthday. You see, because of my blogging hiatus I never actually posted all the photos from his 1st birthday. This may be the one and only time a child […]
Have you ever been introduced to someone or even a group of individuals and about 5 minutes into the whole getting to know you conversation you think to yourself, man these people are awesome? Yeah, well those people are Karen, Aaron, their son Owen and all of their family and friends. These guys welcomed me […]
