7th Annual Reef Sweetwater PRO AM 2011 | Oceanic Street, Wrightsville Beach, NC

July 15th-17th kicked off this years 7th Annual Reef Sweetwater Pro Am at Oceanic Street along the shores of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. In its 7th year, the Reef Sweetwater Pro Am attracts thousands of spectators, surfers and professional athletes from around the globe, flocking to the North Carolina Coast for a weekend of fun in the sun. Once again this year, we were blessed with a stomach to chest high swell that stuck around all weekend, providing ample conditions for competitors to compete towards the $20,000 prize purse. I shot the majority of the contest on friday, saturday, and sunday, through all divisions: Pro, Junior, Longboard, Womens, and guppies. I’ve put together two slideshows of the event. The first one is of the finals on Sunday July 17th. Finalists include Phillip Goold, Aaron Cormican, Fisher Heverly and Rob Machado. The second slideshow is a compilation of competition highlights throughout the three day festival. Enjoy!

Fort Fisher Sunset…

Been a while since my last post. Working full time, school full time and full time family man seem to take up the majority of my time. However I have a few sessions booked for this month and a wedding coming up so should be back to posting in no time. Took a little vacation a couple weeks ago to Cali. Flew into San Diego then out of San Fran a week later. Did a lot of cool stuff and got a lot of sweet photos. I’ll have a post of those coming up soon. First off I wanted to post some landscape photo I took down at Fort Fisher on March 06. For those of you subscribed to my Facebook or Flickr, these are old news, but I wanted to shoot em up on the blog either way. Enjoy!

An Evening At The Barn – Equestrian Portraits

Went out Saturday to a barn in Hampstead, NC with some friends to shoot some horse riding and related activity. Came back with some winners. I posted a full album with some more shots on my Facebook page. Just click the FB icon at the top of the page to view those.
