"Of White and Black" "Shower's Intamacy"




                                                                   "Shower's Intamacy"
          With the senseless chatter of those in line at a checkout stand I drift away into a ponder of what message I hope to tell with Allie’s shoot. Receiving the same odd look from an older cashier that I receive every time I buy the most recent issue of Vogue and 2 packs of AA batteries I shuffled in my pocket to find my cash, unbearable silence continuing to build between me and the judgmental eyes of who ever this woman is causing me to feel slightly uneasy. I mean the magazine has the stunning Kate Upton on the cover, everyone needs batteries, what is her issue? I think that I am going to start going there every day and buy 2 sticks of deodorant, 12 pairs of women socks and 10 blank CDs. Every day I will do this. That is a completely random combination, A lot more weird than a vogue and 8 AA batteries. “Does he really use 2 sticks of deodorant a day?” “what are the CDs for?” “and women’s socks?” “How many women does he know?” “are the CDs for them?” “which 2 don’t get CDs?” these are the questions I can imagine her asking herself as I leave her line every day. With that being said, who needs socks and or wants a mix tape? For those of you wondering, the Vogue was for posing ideas and its freaking KATE UPTON she’s gorgeous. The batteries were for my speed lights.

          Ok, now that the funny story of this older lady is behind us I can talk about my actual shoot with Allie. If you live in or near the Tarboro area, you know that last week and this week as well have been filled with severe rain storms and wind from tropical storm Andrea. Hesitant on whether we should shoot or postpone I opted to play it safe and shoot in a wooded area so if it decided to pour down on us we would have some sort of shelter all be it minimal. I am glad that I had that idea now, not only because I captured amazing photos of Allie in those woods but because it did decide to pour down, about 5 different times. When I say pour, I mean big ole granddaddy drops of rain. I always tell people that it’s always a party when you shoot with me, meaning that something exciting always happens, this one being no exception.

          As you can see, Allie is in white. Actually more of an off white but none the less she looks stunning, it looks stunning against her tan skin and blonde hair. Talking about her new boyfriend, college classes, a recent birthday party, and parents Allie provides me with beautiful expressions of real emotions throughout the entire shoot. I learned a lot about Allie’s life during our time together as I do with most one on one clients because I ask very to the point questions and very precise questions at that. I knew Allie from our younger teen years, I don’t know how or where we actually met however. This was however my first time photographing her and that was exciting to me. Things I learned about Allie are: she is incredibly focused on succeeding as a nurse, she loves her family, loves her church, and has one of the most tender hearts I have ever experienced.

I hope you enjoy the images I was able to capture with Allie.
