Cody Hylton

Cody is a Senior at North Lincoln High School. I used to work with his mom, Vicki, at Rock Springs Elementary School. Bless him, he did NOT want to be the center of anyone's attention during this photo shoot, and in downtown Belmont, there are people everywhere. He was a trooper and I got some great shots. Here they are:

Is he not so handsome?

Seriously.

My favorite.

I asked for his best GQ look.

I got something even better :)

I loved doing this shoot! Thanks Vicki.

Chroback/McNiffe Family

I met Liz working at Rock Springs Elementary several years ago. When I left RSES, Liz was one of the 4th grade teachers to take my place. She works with THE BEST team ever. I miss them! Since I've left RSES, I've seen Liz here and there at Left/Right/Center parties. She called me several weeks ago to ask if I'd do a family of 17 photo shoot. Of course, I said yes. Her stipulation was that the photos NOT look like a police line up. We went to Jetton Park in Cornelius, NC on a very chilly afternoon. Here are my four favorites of the non-police lineup pictures:

LOVE the focus on "Grandma and Grandpa"

Again, so sweet.

I know you can't see their faces, but I love the fact

that they're holding hands, gazing out at the lake.

The cousins were SO EXCITED to jump!

You'd think getting 17 people to do what you wanted them to do would be tough...not at all. This family was so easy to work with. And I loved all the pictures I got. Thanks Liz!
