I’m always looking for good locations and scenes to do portrait sessions in Charlotte. There’s one area that I’ve driven past so much that I practically never even give it a second thought. Something clicked the other day, and I realized it would be perfect for a late afternoon photo shoot. So I took my test models (wife & daughter) out for a quick shoot to see what I could produce. I got several photos that I think are great, and shared a couple below…
I’ll definitely add this to my list of spots for future portrait sessions, and the lesson here is that exotic (or studio) locations are easy to dream about. Sometimes, though, you’ll find a really great backdrop right under your nose.

Mom and Baby in Natural Light
Last week I was asked to photograph this beautiful 2 week old baby at the family’s home in Charlotte. This photo of her mom holding her is one of my favorite images I’ve made. Maybe it’s because her expression reminds me of my own daughter; maybe it’s the natural light; maybe it’s just a sweet portrait of a baby with her mom.

I rarely encourage models to sleep through photo shoots, but it’s perfectly acceptable for a newborn photo session.
This weekend, I was honored to capture some photographs of Jake & Nicole’s now 3 week old baby boy. We’ve come full-circle. A few weeks ago we were strolling through Fort Mill, SC shooting their maternity portraits. They’re proud parents with a handsome boy, and even though he won’t remember any of it he did great!
I shot these photos with my D300, 60mm/f2.8 and 2 SB-28dx flashes at the family’s home. One flash was on the camera. The other I positioned in random spots around the room, triggering it with my Pocket Wizard remotes. I’ve come to love the Nikkor 60mm Micro lens for portraits. The lens’ sharpness is perfect, and the macro focusing capability allows for tight, intimate people pictures. See a few more at Facebook.

Beautiful family and awesome friends at Kure Beach, NC.
We had great weather for a shoot last weekend in Virginia. The clouds were amazing, and added so much good depth to the landscape I tried to work them into a bunch of the shots. Even though it was turning summer, there were a few blooms left for shooting around as well. These shots pretty much came out of the camera like this. I wanted to keep this shoot clean and simple. Sky Meadow is a great place to shoot! I’ll post some more from this venue some time.
