It began with a few Episcopalians selling their crafts and baked goods in a modest apple barn in 1979. The Valle Crucis Country Fair is now a full blown spectacle of 100′s of craftspeople and tens of thousands of visitors. Vendors set up well before dawn and miles of cars begin lining up along Hwy...
Saturday night was the second annual Junior Rodeo over in Deep Gap. All I can say is whoa! The NC High Country was transformed to the Wild West with cowboys and cowgirls who have impressive abilities in riding, tying, and lassoing. The light was beautiful so I went a little crazy on photos. Many great...
Blowing Rock Boulders Bachelor party for Zachary. Fresh from Boulder, CO and ready to be hitched, Zachary joins the WCC gang for some perfect early fall action. Way to rock the shirt for all your fans out there Zachary!
We loaded up the scooters, bikes, chairs, more chairs, and a picnic basket to enjoy a beautiful evening at Music in the Valle. It’s hands down the best free summer event in Watauga County.

Somebody might need to correct my facts, but I believe softball teams have been coming to play in the fields of Valle Crucis since 1973. Clement and I rode over on our bikes...
I had a great time shooting Tim and Nicole and their precious boys Hudson and Elam this week in Fort Collins. Talk about a dedicated crew. We met at 7am and clicked away for an hour and a half in the wet and buggy grass. Special thanks to Cam Malpass for making everything run smoothly!...
Happy Birthday my sweet Mason! Who says that summer birthdays are no fun? Thanks for making a special day Joe and Shawna, Chad and Bekah, Matt and Liz, and Christian and Mia!
I recently had the opportunity to shoot the Teva Mountain Games in Vail, CO. Imagine a convergence of the worlds best outdoor adventure athletes in kayaking, climbing, mountain biking, and trail running all coming together to do the thing they do best. I was fortunate to get an up-close view of the action and interact...
