I have to admit, I don’t have much experience shooting in Ellerbe.  I was pleasantly surprised at how picturesque the area is.  I met Melanie, her sister Mari, and their children at the playground first, before finishing on some of their farmland.
Thanks everyone!  I had a great time with you all!  -duane

Danna and I hung out for a couple of hours last week to take some senior portraits.  I was quite amazed at how comfortable she was in front of the camera.  She changed in and out of the cap and gown for some images and changed tops for the final images at the train tracks.  We were so lucky to have a train come by while we were shooting!  All of the pictures were taken in Richmond County, though her cap and gown are not Raider green and gold because she attends a private school.

Good Friday was such a nice day, Michele and I puttered around town taking photos.  We also wanted to get a new shot of the ring online.

Today was Ellerbe Middle School’s “Spring Fling” day. The whole day was an incentive/reward for students who tried their best and used good test strategies during this week’s benchmark tests.  The activities included various singing acts by teachers and principal Melvin Ingram. The house was brought down when four faculty members formed the band “The Paradox” and jammed out to a few songs on Rock Band. Later in the afternoon there was a faculty vs. student volleyball game.
