Old Soul

September 1, 2009

I had the opportunity to walk around downtown Columbus this past weekend to take some pictures of a really good band out of Auburn, AL, called Old Soul. One of my good friends, John Ross, plays bass in the band and we all had a great time walking around taking pictures. They played at Flip Flops (in Columbus) on Saturday night to a packed house and did a great job. I got some good shots at the show and will have to show you more of the whole day some other time. For now, here are two shots that I really liked:IMG_2493 4blog

Sisters / Photographers

August 19, 2009

These two beautiful women are very special to me. One of them is my wife, Chelsey, so of course – she is the MOST important/awesome person in my life and the other is her sister, Caitlin – who is also pretty awesome. Both have been my second photographers and biggest supporters and their skills have grown a LOT with each event! Since they are always behind the camera, I thought I would take advantage of some awesome light at the beach and take some pictures of them! The one in the white shirt is Chelsey (my wife) and the green dress is Caitlin (who left for college today!). Good luck Caitlin… I’m looking forward to you coming back for our Big events!IMG_1696

Poanna [sneak peek]

June 19, 2009

This week – I went across the River with Poanna for a photo-shoot… and it was awesome! This was probably one of the most fun photo shoots that I have done in a long time! They were just hanging out, playing their instruments, in the middle of the park… and I got to capture it with a camera. I look forward to showing you some more of my favorites from the shoot – but here is a sneak peek = I couldn’t wait to show at lease one picture from the shoot!IMG_7814click on the link (their name) above… check out their music! I love it!

Dooley!

May 1, 2009

Luke Addison and his best friend – Dooley – and I had a great time today at the park taking some pics! The place (Lakebottom) was crowded with people enjoying the beautiful weather and trying to shed off a bit of their winter weight! It was a great afternoon to take some pictures and Dooley did wonderful! He had a ton of energy and was so excited to be in the park – but Luke finally got him to lie down and chill out… and we capitalized on that time. Here’s a few that I loved:img_3922-copy

The Jennings 5!

April 27, 2009

Two Fridays ago – I was able to meet Chris and Nicole Jennings – and their triplets at Flat Rock Park for a family portrait session… and it was soo much fun!  These three children: Sammy, Caroline, and Tommy – are adorable and were so much fun to shoot! I loved how their personalities came out in some of these shots!

This next picture is probably one of my favorites from the whole shoot… it really gives an accurate picture of what was going on throughout the afternoon! :) It was a blast – and I look forward to doing it again as they get older!

It was probably about a week and a half ago, on a Saturday afternoon, when my family and I heard sirens warning us of a tornado! We had some eery weather and it seemed like Columbus was experiencing its first deluge. Water poured in from everywhere. It was then, that my brother, sister, and I decided to take the kayak down the creek! Man, was it cold – but man, was it fun!

The very next day – we woke up to snow – falling everywhere! I heard from one news-weather-person that this was the most snow that Columbus has ever experienced!? I don’t know if this is true – but it is definitely the most we have had in a long time! And, of course, it is supposed to get up to 80 today. Georgia weather = ever-unpredictable… Gotta love it! Here are a few pics of the snow:img_2653-copy

Poanna at The Loft

February 26, 2009

Two weeks ago, I got a chance to see the band Poanna play a show at The Loft in downtown Columbus, GA. The show was awesome and the crowd was really into the music! If you haven’t had a chance to hear them play – you need to! Check them out on their myspace page: Poanna img_2480

Seriously, check these guys out –> they are awesome!

Over Thanksgiving Break I had the opportunity to take some pictures of my brother, Luke Smith, on his bike while we were up at the farm. His bike is pretty sweet and it was a gorgeous day. After riding on the back of a four-wheeler and risking my camera to fatal dust and driving by my brother-in-law (Jay Morris) – I finally got some good pics. It was a lot of fun.. thanks Luke. img_0225
