Makeup By Ellen Geanes

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

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.

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!

I completely enjoyed working with this brother and sister team.  Both were relaxed and made the shoot a lot of fun.

Political and Stuff

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Some time ago I was asked to take Rockingham Mayor Gene McLaurin’s photograph for his political re-election.  I was happy to do so.  When prepping for this I ideally wanted some sort of “Rockingham” wording in the background.  City hall was the perfect place for this.  I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate Gene on his successful re-election.

Soon afterward, local businessman Ken Goodman inquired about political head shots for a possible future campaign.  As he runs RW Goodman Furniture Company, the workplace was a perfect setting in addition to the fall foliage.

Taryn was one of the last subjects I shot in the Outer Banks before I left. She was a pleasure to work with.

Ms. Y Boudoir Shoot

Had a lot of fun working with Ms. Y. We worked for a few hours as she was quite comfortable in front of the camera. I would have loved a few different locations but we gladly worked with what we had.

I’m so so happy Jill and Tim had time for their engagement photos before their wedding in a few days.  We plan to take some of these images and make a sign in book for their reception!

Ellen

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Wow.  Ellen was a great trooper.  We started these portraits at 6am.  We finished at 9am, then started again at 6:30pm for almost another 2 hours.  Not all are here.  These are some of my favs.  This was my first time working with Ellen solo.  I can’t wait to do it again!

Ellerbe Is Great For Portraits!!!

Friday, April 24th, 2009

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.
