Virginia Beach Oceanfront Photography.

Over the summer I started to wonder what I could show about the oceanfront. Here are a few shots that are early in my discovery phase.  

Hampton Roads Videography for Small Business Insight

I have wanted to do more video for a while now. Here is a peice I created for Small Business Insight. It's about how important the SBI Community is. 

End of Summer Baby Photos

The summer may be over but the baby photos keep on going. This is 3 month old Kennedy and we were both hapilly distracted by ceiling fans. I fear I'm too simple minded these days. 

Here's an awesome slideshow and some of my favorites. I really enjoy how the blues and yellows really complemented each other. 

Wounded Warriors: Jumping for a Purpose Event Photography

Hey everyone, a couple of weeks ago I was at Jumping for a Purpose, a charity event organized for Wounded Warriors to go skydiving at Suffolk Skydive. I was there to help Eric, the awesome photographer who owns http://www.rgbimaging.net. My main goal was to get some great photos of the warriors and their jump partners as they landed. Each jumper had an incredible story to share and I met so many great people that day. I got so many great photos, but here are a few of my favorite. Be sure to also check out http://www.woundedwear.org/ a great non profit dedicatd to helping our injured veterans. 

This is Bob VandeLinde a Korean war vet who was excited to jump out a plane for the first time that wasn't being shot down. 

There were a number of double amputees who got to jump and that special harnesses were used.

 They even let me up in the plane, but I was sadly without a parachute, so I had to come back down the boring way. 

It was actually a pretty exhausting day, running around trying to capture what I could. I'm really glad I'm able to help out in my small way and I respect everyone involved, the warriors, the sky divers, and the community who all pitched in to give back a little. 

And here's some more on my Flickr Gallery. 

Here's some links to news articles that covered the day.

Staying In Tune

I am working on portraits for an Opera singer who needed new headshots to send to agencies in NY . This time I was able to have some assistance from my lovely wife Donna doing makeup and grip. It was a great time and really allowed me to flex some photo muscles. 

Here's some behind the scenes shots. Stay tuned for the final shots. 

Summer Vacation

Summer vacation is where it's at. Amanda is currently stationed in Germany and was able to come back to VA for a few weeks to visit family. Everyone was amazed at how fast the kids have grown. Below is a slideshow and some of my favorite shots.
