Maybe not photography related but this needs to be heard.

Please avoid Fedex at all cost.   They have lost two packages sent to me in two months. One is worth quite a bit and I haven’t been able to get a tracking number yet.  Even though I have a tracking number of the first package lost,  the Fedex “customer service”  was falsely telling me the package was forwarded over to the Postal Office and delivered.   It was also explained to me in a very rude and brusk way.  I had to call the postal office in Atlantic Beach to follow up and the lady in there was by far friendlier and helpful, and she said they were going to follow up and call me back.

On my second package however,  was sent to me just two weeks ago and should have been here by now and the address is correct.   So I called the local Fedex center in Beaufort to just ask if Fedex could possibly have some issues with my address, because we know it won’t show up in Google maps and such.    Unfortunately the guy was very rude and gave me the “What do you think I can do” attitude and there was that.    Thanks a lot for the “help”.

I will ensure my future packages will be sent to me by either the UPS or USPS.     I have NEVER had any problems with the brown truck or the postal office.

Emerald Isle family event session, Saturday April 11th.

Wow!  Did we luck out with the weather!   It was cloudy but 75F…and the day before and the day after was much colder, so the Gods were certainly smiling upon us that day.   What a fun session.  This was my largest family session I’ve done but it was SO much fun!   5 families,  20 people total.   Emerald Isle near the pier.  The clouds were gorgeous too.

I have so many pictures to sort out and edit, but here is one of  my  favorite shots from the event.

I’m starting to get booked for spring and summer….meanwhile…some more of my children

Things are moving quickly now when spring kicks in and I’ll be busy probably every weekend.  So I am going to take this moment to post more pictures of my own children, in our front and backyard!    Shooting my own kids also lets me experiment with different post processing effects in Photoshop.   As most of you probably know by now, photographs aren’t coming out of the camera looking like this ;P

What’s fun for me is to make the photos a little modern vintage.  In general, I don’t process my client’s photos this way but stay with more “normal” colors but if you like the vintage look, feel free to ask me to fix that for your photos!
