We both use:
Canon 7D bodies
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
Canon 100mm f/2.8 [...]

Photography: Always Take Your Camera

Some of the best pictures we’ve taken have been at times we least expected.
All of the following photographs were taken of the exact same scene, outside of my door at work, months apart.

You never know when you may be able to catch a good sunrise or sun [...]

House Moving- It’s Almost Done!

Ryan and I went to Currituck this weekend.  We had another one of those 36 hour visits which are thoroughly exhausting.
We arrived Saturday at noon, just in time for Ryan to join my Dad and about 3000 other men for the Knotts Island Hunters Feast.  The Hunters Feast is an annual charity event that supports [...]

Remembering Pawpaw

Me and Ryan with my Grandparents at our wedding:

It has been two months since my Pawpaw’s funeral, as a reminder of him, I have posted the video we played at his funeral.
I think it is beautiful.

Gatlinburg Cabin Rental

This year on our visit to Gatlinburg, Tennessee we stayed in a great cabin.
Year after year, we select a cabin that Mountain Rentals of Gatlinburg has available, staying in a different one for each visit, and have never been disappointed. . .

Sassy’s New Friend.

We have told you before about our strange animals.
Sport, our strange dog, took Sassy (the cat) in, as if she were his baby, when she showed up at our house.
He carried her around like a puppy,  allowed her to paw him as if she were nursing, and to curl up next to him [...]
