Jake version 2

April 4th, 2008 by Michael

Ok, so I was sitting on the patio this afternoon and snapped this picture of Jake.  I am starting to freak myself out, as today I realized that I take a ton of animal pictures!!  Am I turning into one of those people who call their dogs babies?  Umm…yeah, I think I just answered my own question.  Anyhow, here he is…again.

p.s. No funny comments about my Fred Flintstone sized toes!!

I am honored to be shooting the wedding of Hannah and David this Saturday at Pine Lake Pavilion.

It’s a gorgeous outdoor venue set on a….LAKE!! Yeah, you guessed it! I am really looking forward to shooting Hannah’s wedding, as I had such a good time shooting her bridal portrait last month.

Here is my absolutely favorite shot of Hannah so far.

Hurricanes Hockey - Eric Staal

April 4th, 2008 by Michael

Ok, so I hit the hockey game on Wednesday and watched the Hurricanes destroy the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2. It was a great game, especially when Tampa’s goalie slipped and allowed for an easy empty netter goal. Ahh, the joys of hockey!!  This pic is through the glass, so be warned.

As a bonus, I decided to post a picture of the last time I took my camera to a hockey game…enjoy!! (p.s. Yeah I know it looks just like the one in the paper, only difference is that I was in the nosebleed seats!!)

Margaritaville bound?

April 1st, 2008 by Michael

So my good friend Angie Bryant recently moved from Raleigh to Key West, FL. Unfortunately I missed her going away party and didn’t get to see Angie before she left…so here is what I had planned to give her at her party! All the essentials for the horrible task of living in Key West!!!

I don’t want to hear anymore stories about great seafood!!

p.s. Send me your address so I can get this thing off of the kitchen counter!! :)

Introducing Sally

March 30th, 2008 by Michael

Don’t let that cute little face fool you, this dog is the devil in the flesh. Sally can shred furniture with the best of them. Her absolutely favorite things are tennis balls (dachshund sized though) and she loves to chew on….pig ears!! They are nasty, slimy and smell nasty! Ugh…what do to…what to do.

Bark at the Moon?

March 29th, 2008 by Michael

Ok, so it’s not the moon it’s a street lamp lighting up a tree that is waking up from it’s long winter sleep. I thought it looked beautiful so I snapped a few high ISO shots to see how they would come out. I was fairly pleased with what I had and even made one of the shots my desktop background (although I must admit I change the background every few days!!).

*edit* - I have been educated that this is a cherry blossom…I grew up in Florida, where all trees are palm trees, so that should tell you a lot!!

Meet Jake!

March 29th, 2008 by Michael

Yeah, I already know he is the cutest little dog in the world!! This was Jake’s first trip to the beach, it was cold, windy and he was knocked over by the water within the first 3 minutes!! He was a real trooper though and had a great time running around and being…well…a dog! Guess what? Tomorrow you get to meet Jake’s better half, Sally!

Ok, so I finally decided to take the plunge and create a blog. I know it took me long enough, but hey…at least I finally did it, right?!? Stay tuned, there is a lot more to come!!!
