I had the pleasure of photographing Kayla about two weeks ago.  We hit the Leak Wall House in downtown Rockingham and then ventured to city hall and the public library.

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!

Children from all over Richmond County are taking place in Missoula Children’s Theatre traveling show “The Princess and the Pea”.  Below are some rehearsal images from the Cole Auditorium in Hamlet, NC.  Performances are Saturday August 8th at 3pm and again at 6pm.

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 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.

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.

Congratulations to you both!  What a great party!
