Tidewater Council Scout Night




This year I decided to become active in the Boy Scouts to give back. As many of you know I am an Eagle Scout, and Scouting is very near and dear to me. Getting back into scouting is something I have wanted to do for some time, but just not sure how to have the most impact. I am on the Marketing committe for the Council as well as getting involved in other ways.

Every year the Tides (local AAA Baseball team) do a Scout Night for Tidewater Council. This year I came out with my Camera to start on a Stock Photo Library for the council.

Any scout that came in uniform was allowed to stand on the field for the National Anthem, sung by a Boy Scout.

After the game the scouts setup camp, some brought tents, others only brought a pad and sleeping bag to sleep under the stars. The staff at Harbor Park had The Sandlot playing on the large video board for the kids before lights out. The wake-up call was 6:00am, way to early for me. Once the kids were setup and the movie starting I packed up and headed home to sleep in.

Relationships


People and their Rides

The bond that people have with their vehicle has always interested me. Why did they choose this car/truck? I am launching a new project to document this relationship. This summer I will be lining up as many shoots as I can for this project. For more information head over to the new blog that I setup just for this project.

I look forward to exploring this project and sharing the results.

Patton Maternity



My friends Robbie & Rachel are expecting twins next month and are such a cute couple. I am very excited for them. We met at their house and had a quick session. Rachel is on modified bed rest so we didn't want to do to much. It was a hot day and she was a trooper.

Here are some of the images.





Thanks for looking, if you would like to contact me about setting up a session you can call (757.971.0237) or email me.
