Mary Anne Powers

I met Mary Anne a little over 5 years ago when I first moved to Georgia and my wife and I were dealing with the issues of converting our healthcare coverage to the new state.  She's a licensed insurance agent.  I would have to ask her how we met because quite frankly I don't remember, but it seems like a lifetime because we hit it off the very first time that we met.

I have to confess that this session with her involved a little "photographic blackmail" because when she asked me to photograph her son's senior portraits I stipulated that I would only do it if she would  pose for a portrait session with me.  The deal was made and it was a great session because Mary Anne has such gorgeous eyes and a bubbly, carefree spirit that would make any portrait photographer's job easy.  She has an infectious smile and that's what's so special about her, likewise I also desired to create some shots of her that showed her deeper personality.  It was a fun session, Mary Anne, and I think you enjoyed the moment as much as I did.  You are a beautiful woman and your portraits are awesome!

Humming Along

A year ago I purchased a hummingbird feeder late into the migratory season and simply put it in the garage and forgot about it until a few days ago when a friend reminded me to hang it up.  Well, the first day one little visitor stopped by to drink, then the following day another visitor showed up with him, and today I noticed there's a whole lot of territorial fighting going on over the feeder between multiple birds.  With so much activity going on at the feeder I rushed to get my camera to capture the splendid wonder of these little guys.  Here are some of my first images of my new backyard friends.
