I received this very cool video from the Image X Workshop coordinators, and I loved seeing the beautiful imagery of the French Quarter in New Orleans. I haven't been back since I went to Jazz Fest, pre-Katrina, and I'm really looking forward to going back. The workshop is set up so that you can sign up for my class and one other photographer's - you can see the rundown of everyone and their classes on the Image X website. I'll also planning to stay for a few extra days to

One last post from the life as an artform workshop in Boston, which was too wonderful! I thank you, again, Jesh, for the honor of inviting me to join in as your guest speaker. We all need more of that gorgeous energy of yours... Once again, Jesh and I both separately photographed our models - this time, sweet Maya and her hilarious brother James. I'm not exactly sure how long the shoot lasted - 8 minutes? 20? 10 hours? No clue, but I had a blast with these two and thei

A big thank you to The Knot for including my photography in their big wedding special issue, Best Of Weddings, 2008! The featured editorial was from Abigail & Ray's beautiful wedding at The Fearrington in Pittsboro, NC, which was just a joy to shoot. I have to go back and do some counting, but I want to say that we've had real weddings featured in something like the last 6 issues of the magazine in a row, too. We definitely do appreciate it!

I found out yesterday that there is a big difference covering a political rally and the associated events as press versus actually working for a campaign directly as a photographer. They are both very cool (at least to me!), just different. I had the great pleasure of traveling through North Carolina and spending the day with the Obama campaign yesterday. We started in Raleigh for a closed door fundraiser and a town hall meeting and then raced out to Greenville, where we

The new issue of Adoptive Families Magazine is out, and this beautiful cover model is Mimi, from Ethiopia. I love photographing covers for Adoptive Families Magazine for a few reasons: First of all, I'm a huge advocate for adoption, no surprise there. Secondly, I get the opportunity to suggest my portrait clients for magazine covers! Little Mimi here is not just gorgeous, but she also has an incredibly interesting life story ... and she's only a toddler. She was born in
