Cherry (center) and Kelsey (l) and Tyler at Wrightsville Beach, NC.
   
The clouds were looking very dramatic, so I told them "Stand right there" and framed the shot for best effect.

Kelsey is 25 years old, with a graphic arts degree from North Carolina State pursuing a marketing career. Amazingly, she has never considered modeling.
   
  
Wrightsville Beach, NC is her favorite place
     
  
   
As we were shooting for her CD jacket for her first CD release, the barn cats would not go away, so I decided to just let them do what they wanted. Turned out pretty good.
   
     
  
   
  
     
  
   
Holly and her three children in Yosemite
   
Woman at the Big Fresno Fair painting portraits. She was oblivious to my taking shot after shot, from all different directions...
     
  
   
Although she's only 21, she's been riding since she was 5, and training horses and instructing riders since she was 16.
   
     
  
She's got beautiful eyes.
   
I plopped the baby (Matty) in the oldest's lap (Cody) and started shooting. No posing, no props, just put them on the floor and shot what occured.
   
94 year-old Mickey Muzinich and his wife of 60+ years, Gloria, pose for a portrait at the Eagle Field Warbirds Fly-in and Benefit Dinner-Dance. Mickey was a flight instructor during WWII and was noted for being able to teach a student to solo in only three lessons.

Tyler caught a 6 pound catfish and this was the only fish they kept.

Unlimited energy!
