Cephus doing a light check before the shoot.   Isn’t this a fab car!!!!!!!!

The team in action!!!      The best part of these productions is that we actually have a lot of fun!!!!!

Most of the time, I see things that only I can see.  That’s what makes photography so special!!!!!!!!!!

The car lineup was incredible!!!!!!

Pam Hopkins is truly the best at what she does.  She selects the models, contracts the hair & makeup artist, scouts locations, fitting with models, writes articles, etc.  This girl is baaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!!

Pam selected Sara for this  production because of her beauty, versatility and attitude.  Pam, nice pick!!!!!!!!!

Asst. editor Ashley Schaefer making sure every timeline is being met.  You rock Ashley!!!!!!

This is typical of Dave.  Brings one cup of coffee for himself.    Thanks Dave!! :)

The girls in motion.  Pam and Liz doing some last minute adjustments.

Whatever it takes to get the shot, that’s what I’m willing to do.  In order to capture great images, you have to be willing to take risks.

Dave and I make a great team.  He comes up with the vision and then I put it in motion.  We feed off each other for inspiration and ideas. More importantly, he pays for the power sushi lunches!!  He truly is one of the best creative minds in the game.

The Hampton Roads Mag Team.  Each and every one of these talented individuals played a role in this awesome production!!!!!!

What a way to start off my 2010 season by shooting the COVER  of  Hampton Roads Bride Magazine!!!!!!    Just want to take the time to thank Edtor in Chief, Melissa Stewart, Art Director David Uhrin,  Fashion Stylist and Coordinator Pam Hopkins and Asst. Editor Ashley Schaefer for assembling this awesome production.  Special thanks to hair and makeup extraordinaire Elizabeth Paschall and her design team for their hard work and effort in transforming our lovely cover model.  But last and certainly not least, our lovely cover model Sarah Busby for embracing us all with her astonishing beauty.  Come on out to the Hampton Roads Bridal Extravaganza on January 10th to get a copy of the magazine which also features Melissa and Stephen Stewart “Dream Wedding” in Williamsburg!!!!!!!  I was truly honored to photograph the Editor and Chief’s wedding as well.  Good times ahead in 2010!!!!!!!!!
