NEW ELK IMAGES

 I photographed these Elk in the Cataloochee area of Smoky Mountain National Park last October. I'm just getting around to playing with some of the non wedding images I shot over the past year. If you have never been to the park to see the Elk I highly recommend it. They are very majestic animals.

NEW MEETING ROOM FINISHED!

I have finally finished transforming a spare room into a space to meet with brides. It is adjacent to my studio so I can now take brides on a quick studio tour and then we can relax while we look at samples of my work. 

A couple of before and after shots:

NEW PAINTING

I recently finished a new painting and thought I'd share it. Something different for me. 30"x30" Oil on canvas. Not sure what to title it? 

CHOCOLATE & WINE AT THE HEALTH ADVENTURE

I had the pleasure of shooting a fundraiser for The Health Adventure last Friday. It was a chocolate and wine tasting event. Chocolates by French Broad Chocolate Lounge were paired with wines from Vaso De Vino wine shop. What can I say, it was the best of both worlds!

LATE WINTER SNOW IN WAYNESVILLE

ICE BIKE 2009!

Most people who know me know I am an avid cyclist. Both road and mountain. Every now and then when conditions are right I break out the "Ice Bike". The Ice Bike is my old mountain bike fitted with "Ice Tires" that I made myself about 8 years ago. As you can see by the close up shots they will go anywhere. People up north actually ride them on frozen lakes. Needless to say it's always an adventure when the Ice Bike makes an appearance.

These shots were taken on the Flat Laurel Creek Trail in Pisgah National Forest, Haywood County, North Carolina.
