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!
For Katie and Wes’ engagement photos, we started at Camp Millstone in Ellerbe, NC and ended up in downtown Southern Pines. I was lucky enough to have my wife Michele with me in Ellerbe. She helped me with the images from the canoe.
Above: These were lots of fun to shoot. Thanks Michele!

Above: This was our move to Southern Pines. The train tracks in their downtown area are very fun to play with!

Months before Kimberly’s wedding with Patrick, we shot her bridal portraits at Ellerbe Springs Bed and Breakfast in Ellerbe, NC. The location rests on 50 acres with gorgeous landscapes and cozy rooms for bridal preparation. Kimberly allowed me to shoot some images of her getting ready for her portrait.
Above: After all was said and done we shot a few more relaxed images. Thanks Kimberly!
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.
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.
Whenever I can, I love to go to the wedding rehearsal and shoot some images. This way, the bride and groom can compare and contrast the wedding with the rehearsal. Erin and Trey were married in Freedom Baptist Church on US-1.
Above: I thought six bridesmaids was a lot until this past weekend when we had eight!
Above: The wedding day begins as the programs are just about finished.
Above: One to throw and one to uh….you know.
Above: One of the best parts of being a kid is you get to kick back and let the adults take care of everything!
