  • Update....

    Wow....technical difficulties again.  My DVD stopped working.  In the process of trying to fix it, the video card, dvd cable and server data base were destroyed.  In the next few weeks I will be catching up on post processing , albums and rebuilding my website, blog and photocart.


    Word to the wise....back up and know as much as you can about every aspect of your business (including computers)!!


    Best wishes,

    These two were married at the Forest House in Forrest Hill.  A beautiful location where the ceremony site is 1.4 miles up the road.  Stunning views and wonderful food!  A must have in wedding locations!

    The groom was a twin, which I didn't know until I arrived and managed to keep them apart most of the night.  It wasn't until I was leaving and packing my stuff up when I asked the groom "do you have any other photographs you want me to take before I go".  When I looked up I realized something was wrong...it was the twin brother.  Hey I didn't do too bad all day!

  • Memorial Day

    Memorial Day is a day to remember those who died fighting for those who were unable to fight for themselves.  As you go about your weekend enjoying your family, friends, barbecue, water sports or any other fun activity.  Pick up a flag or some flowers and visit a grave site of someone who fought for your freedom. 


    At the very least, bow your head and pray for those who have paid the ultimate price protecting and preserving the freedoms we enjoy. For those who should be remembered every day possible and not just the three day weekend Congress set aside for them.
