Wil found a piece of driftwood/pirate shipwreck debris.
After a grueling 8-hour Chinatown bus ride to my brother's house in Newport News, VA (I always vow "never again!" after taking that bus but somehow keep riding it) I finally made it to Nags Head, NC with my parents, three brothers, aunts and uncles and many, many kids. I don't know about Thanksgiving dinner, but I definitely plan to gorge myself on salt water taffy.
Wil and I can always find a reason to hold a seance. Naturally, being on the Outer Banks will require a summoning of the legendary pirate, Blackbeard.
When Wil found the camera pointed at some new subjects, he decided he wanted in on it. (But I think he was right; an ecstatic, bouncing 8-year-old face in the foreground was exactly what these photos needed.)
"Tim's client for this special episode is Erica, a bride-to-be with a serious confidence problem. Her tall stature leaves her self-conscious with every outfit she tries on. Can Tim help her restore her faith in herself in time to step into the spotlight on her wedding day?"
Russell's a local Brooklyn painter whose work has won multiple awards. Check out his work; it's pretty fantastic.
Erica's a veterinarian, so it was only natural that she took a little extra care to make sure Fred looked great for the wedding, too. :)
Mmm, 2 hours to shoot in the Meatpacking District... Music to my ears (eyes?)
About to throw her bouquet...
I was so excited to fly to Charleston to photograph Angela and Thomas's wedding at the William Aiken House in September. It's such a compliment for a couple to like my work enough to fly me to another state! Thanks, guys. :)
The minute Emily and I drove into "old-town" from the airport, I saw so many places I wanted to shoot. I felt like a kid being released into a backyard full of easter eggs. Angela and Thomas were so laid-back; the vibe of the day couldn't have been better.

Sweet image from Emily
Thomas is a musician, so at the reception he and Angela gave the band a break for a while and sang a few songs. :)
Congrats, Angela and Thomas. :) Thanks for inviting me to be a part of your day.
....And here are some photos of Emily and I goofing off in our hotel room before the wedding. That's a lamp shade on my head.

(11.07.08 @ 08:56 AM)Hi Lauren! Nice pics! incriminating diary entries, huh? Hmmm. I don't know about dancing in the streets for Obama but I do like your new blog! Good luck with it. Phil
(11.07.08 @ 11:19 AM)As we've all come to know none else than beauty and craft from your work, I'm so glad to say: the new blog is its mirror. It's outstanding.
PS I'm so glad I was there with you, dancing to the incredible humanism Obama's victory represents. It was our victory too. I think the world felt the same that night.
