Yuri & Shelby

These two were great. I tagged along with Lana again for our second shoot together! We always have such a good time and bounce ideas off of each other, which is great. She has been a big help to me as a fellow aspiring photographer. Shelby and Yuri were awesome to work with. They made us laugh so hard the entire time. It was such a long day, but we made it fun!!






LOOOOVE Shelbys face in this image!!!

Brotherly Love

I met Eileen the first day of college back in ‘01. Since that day the two of us have been inseparable. We lived together for six years and to this day still work together. She is more than a friend to me, she is family. We finish each others sentences, we laugh at things that nobody else would laugh at, and we share EVERYTHING with each other. She can read me better than anyone and I do the same towards her. Over the years, her family and friends have become mine. This is where Joey comes to the picture. Joey is pretty much a boy version of Eileen and I so anytime we get to spend time together is time well spent. I can’t honestly tell you if I have ever had a serious conversation with him over the last 7 or 8 years. So when Eileen asked me to do a shoot of the two of them for her parents 30th anniversary I was jazzed. My only concern was if we would actually be able to behave for an hour. Eileen’s mother had actually requested that I take some photos of them and she even had the spot picked out. She wanted traditional, simple, and HULL. The Stanley’s grew up in Hull and spent many days basking in the water at James Ave. There is a special tree that hangs over the pebbly beach that has a place in Mrs. Stanley’s heart. It was very apparent that we had to incorporate that somehow. I hope that the Stanley’s are happy with their photos! I love this family very much (Joey don’t let that get to your head).


Eileen came home with me on a lunch break and picked a few that she liked and helped me edit it to her liking. She really likes the black and white look as you will see.

SNEAK PEAK :-)

Kristen and Chris

I met Kristen back in 2001 through my bff Eileen. The two of them grew up in Hull and even when they went off to college they remained very close. That’s when I came in the picture. Kristen would come to Curry here and there for a visit and over the years I have gotten to know her pretty well. I remember Eileen and I chatting and her filling me on Kristen’s man gossip. She had met the man of her dreams… Chris. She said that this guy was different and before I knew it they were tying the knot last year. They had their pictures taken and loved their photographer, but were not too impressed by his images. Kristen, actually follows my blog (LOVE IT) and asked if I minded taking a few of her and Chris so they could actually have a nice picture of the two of them. Of course I warned her that they were my first couple that I was shooting and first photo shoot EVER that I would be doing alone. I believe I said “I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL”. I was so happy she trusted me!
As soon as we met up the first thing they said to me is “we are wicked awkward and so un-photogenic. AND we hate PDA”. I thought to myself “holy cow this is not going to go very well”. I have to call their bluff because they were unreal and SO fun. Chris was coming up with all of these ideas and loved hamming it up for the camera. Kristen is probably the cutest thing EVER. She was running around pretending she was on Americas Next Top Model. The two of them were so perfect that I am that when I shoot my next couple I am going to be disappointed if they aren’t so into it. ANYWAYS… Here are a few of many. I can’t thank you two enough!! You were so unreal!! And what luck we had… Hurricane Bill held off for us!
