Cookin’ for a Cause

It was a windy but sunny day for the Red Hot Chili Cookoff, an annual fundraiser hosted by the Rotary Club of the Golden Isles, on Saturday, March 2 in Neptune Park on St. Simons Island.

i love having the opportunity to do friday photo pages for our section at the paper. combine that with my love of children and i was in heaven. this is just some of my collection of photos from my week-long trek around the golden isles exploring some of the local children’s camps!

mother’s day.

just look at this baby’s cheeks. it took all of me not to pinch little miss channing’s face the entire shoot! this is heather mathews and her beautiful 3-month old (yes, only 3) for the front page mother’s day story this weekend at the paper.

on the first day of christmas…

long time, no see. i’m in my 3rd month working as a reporting intern at the brunswick news and sadly my photo love has taken to the backburner. but here’s a little 12 days of christmas to get myself working again.

this is palmetto florist in brunswick, owned by steve rentz (pictured). steve has quite the decorating scheme going on, people literally pull over at night into his parking lot just to check it out. didn’t get a chance to catch the window display at night, but i hear it’s amazing.

playing with light.

pearson beasley of dank sinatra helped me out with a portrait assignment where I tried playing with my gels, taken last year.

no place like home.

last spring, st. andrew’s school put on “the wizard of oz.” it was an amazing performance, and i have to say my little brother played an excellent tin man.

making the best of it.

in march, i had the privilege of meeting the abrams family— alexander,  sherry, and their two children, bailey and aidan— a vibrant and  happy  family in a not-so-  happy situation. alexander was in need of a  liver  transplant, generally a $600,000  procedure. i was shooting a feature  for an upcoming auction and barbecue hosted by  the family’s friends at  the uga’s arena farm to benefit alexander’s liver transplant  fund. despite  their troubles, the family smiled and laughed and roughed around with  the dogs in the yard.
