Thank you so much to those of you who have contacted the studio with an interest in calendaring dates! We are ready to start booking sessions now :) I will be traveling to Bald Head Island, North Carolina June 27th-July 3rd and will be shooting two sessions a day - at morning light and again at sunset. Please contact the studio to reserve your spot, unless you have already been in touch with Lisa, our Studio Director, in which case she'll be contacting you very shortly to lock in your specific date and time. Here's a fun sampling of some images from my last set of sessions at Bald Head Island (*warning - some brief baby nudity does appear, although I can assure you that it was absolutely integral to the storyline ;)

Thanks so very much to those of you who have been inquiring about beach dates for 2010! I am excited to be returning to the Carolina Coast beaches this June & July, and we will be scheduling shoots between: Sunday, June 27th and Sunday, July 3rd, 2010.

We will be confirming the location in the next few days. Stay tuned or feel free to contact the studio now to secure your spot!

I left this afternoon's shoot so energized that I wanted to post a handful of my favorite images right away. It was such a joy to spend an hour with 5-year-old Meg and her loving, down-to-earth parents, Lea and Carmen. Meg goes from giddy to shy to affectionate to independent in the blink of an eye, and is a completely captivating subject. Enjoy!

These would be Meg's best impressions of their dogs, Lucy and Emma, who stayed home for the shoot.

The last frame of the day, and what a way to wrap up a fun shoot. (My sentiments exactly!)

Since our work with the new UNC Cancer Hospital, I've had another great opportunity to collaborate with UNC Hospitals (this time, the Center for Heart & Vascular Care) and our friends at MSA to create a series of nationally-run advertisements. One of the best parts of this project has been meeting and getting to know the patients that have been selected to be photographed. Both Brian and Mari are such interesting and passionate individuals, and it was a real honor to work with them. First up, a couple of images from the "rejects" pile that I like, nonetheless. :)

And, here are the ads as they are currently running...

Many thanks to everyone involved in this project. I'm so excited for the remaining shoots!
