From the Richmond County Schools Friday Highlights newsletter:  Richmond County Schools Educators of the Year were  honored during the Convocation Ceremony at Cole Auditorium on  August 19.  Christy Mabe, Richmond Early College High Teacher of  the Year, was selected as the district-wide teacher of the year. She will represent Richmond County Schools in the regional level of the state Teacher of the Year competition. All of her students were proficient on their EOCs last year.

These images were taken for her portfolio and for fun!  Congratulations Christy.  Enjoy your 2011 Toyota Camry, courtesy of Rockingham’s Griffin Toyota!

August dates are filling up!  Book between now and September 5th to receive a $55 print package consisting of:

(1) wallet set
(4) 4×6’s
(2) 5×7’s

Portrait sessions last about two hours with multiple locations and wardrobe changes.  The idea is to give you many images with different looks and clothing.

A big congrats goes to the Senior Class of 2010!  Below is a slide show of some of the people I had the pleasure of working with.

Here are a few images of the preview book I include in my wedding packages. The book is 8×10 in size and contains all images taken during your wedding as well as any other sessions we may have. It is a hardcover book with a dust jacket. The image ID’s of all photos taken are at the bottom of the image.

Here are the remaining images Dru and I created.  I’m super excited because we, along with a handful of Richmond Senior High School students are going to work on a project together.  Details soon!

This was the first time I paired up with a makeup artist. Ellen Geanes is my neighbor and has been doing makeup for weddings. We collaborated with model Cierra Billingsley some time ago. Ellen’s work really increases the final product. Ellen can be contacted here for you kids with Facebook pages.

Dru was very easy to work with.  She is not intimidated by the camera at all.   After we finished this shoot I immediately asked her to pose again.  I can’t wait to post them!

Cherie and I held a mini-session in East Rockingham the other day.  It was very cold but we managed to have a good time.

Thanks Cherie!

After a false start (my fault) Mike, Sharon, and I tooled around downtown Rockingham.  Afterwords we went to Hinson Lake.  I should go out there more often.  It’s quite nice.
