Kelly's Cookbook

I spent an afternoon with my sister, Kelly, who not only is a published author but is also a Holistic Health Coach and Raw Food Chef who lives in Berlin.  This was a photo session for her second book; her first cookbook.  I can't wait to see the rich hues and colors from these images burst onto the pages and bring her recipe book to life!  I had a blast and I couldn't be more proud of her and all that she's accomplished. Grab a copy from her new website www.farmfoodiefitness.com or find her on Facebook. www.facebook.com/farmfoodiefitness. And don't forget to check out her first novel, The Road to Chianti by Kelly Hughes Roberts.

   didn't turn out to look much like a football. So we concluded it was a toxic GMO tomato instead!)

Alison and Daniel- Lighthouse Sound

Last Wednesday May 22nd, I headed over to Lighthouse Sound, in Bishopville, where I met Alison and Daniel.  Alison and Daniel were married in a beautiful sunset ceremony.  Many couples want to be surrounded by the crisp blue ocean of the beach but they opted for the vast lush green backdrop view of the bay.  Simple and small, the most intimate of wedding parties can also be the most enjoyable and memorable.  The bride sparkled in her dress which contained a radiant neck piece that could've been a necklace all on its own.  Thank you Barefoot Bride for creating such an elegant, classy, and unique affair.

Katie and David's Wedding-Sunset Park


15 days until Memorial Day weekend and the summer wedding season is officially off to a great start! This past Saturday, May 11th, I headed over to Sunset Park located in downtown Ocean City for Katie and David's wedding.  Katie and David came from Arlington to experience their unforgettable big day at the beach.  It was a short and intimate ceremony that included the couple's pug Petunia! The day started out cloudy and stormy but luckily by the afternoon the skies cleared and it warmed up so it was the perfect opportunity for some fun on the boardwalk.  We got to play games at Can Alley and I got some great shots as they braved the Tilt a Whirl ride!  The reception soon followed at Harbor Watch where the small congregation of friends and family cheerfully greeted the new couple.
























Cocktail Party: The Photo Booth


A fun and relaxing time was had by all as the day wore on.  The cocktail party followed and attendees could not get enough of the photo booth!  The photo booth was set up in the the largest private portrait room in the back and from my observation, when the photographer is absent, all silliness ensues.  Crazy hats, glasses and other props or just plain goofy poses we hope you enjoy viewing these shots.   In the main entrance/lobby there was a drawing to win a $500 Print Credit (a free photo session).  Congratulations to Madalaine How, our winner!  People mingled and sipped away on refreshments as they toured the various gallery rooms.  

   

Thanks to all who came yesterday! I had a great time!

Last Saturday, May 4th, Travis and Jennifer were married at the Golden Sands Club Condominium in Ocean City, Maryland.  I first met this fun couple last summer when I shot their engagement photos and I was invited to capture their big day.  The scene was set for a beautiful sunset ceremony.  Even though it was very windy and a little chilly, the bride and groom basked in the warmth of the sun and came prepared for the strong rays with their matching wayfarer sunglasses.  The adorable flower girl might just be a future photographer! She insisted on having her turn behind the big lens to take pictures of the bride.  The indoor reception followed and everyone was on the dance floor! I couldn't help but take notice of their comfy and stylish matching footwear.  Jennifer definitely didn't forget her something blue!











Distributing copies of Inside Ocean City

When visitors stay at a hotel in Ocean City, MD they will most likely find a copy of Inside Ocean City in their room.  Inside Ocean City is an entertainment guidebook for beach goers that showcases local businesses as well as our eclectic photography.  Last Thursday, Susan Jones, Amy Tingle, Sandy Phillips and I distributed copies of the 2013 edition of the book to over 8200 rooms of various Ocean City hotels.  Sandy Phillips is the publisher and owner of Inside Ocean City.  Susan Jones and Amy Tingle represent the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association.
