Sweet Summertime | Winston Salem Photographer

I know, I know…it doesn’t quite feel like summertime just yet.  Grace and I went for a walk yesterday, and while we could see daffodils starting to poke out of the ground, there was certainly a winter chill still in the air!  However, it IS time to start thinking about summer photo sessions.  I am officially opening my calendar for June through September and booking summertime sessions.  I am also announcing my beach dates today in case anyone is interested in a beach session this year.

I will be at Oak Island, NC from July 12th through July 19th.  From August 1st through August 8th I will be in the Myrtle Beach, SC area.  And finally, from September 4th through the 7th I will be in the Topsail Beach, NC area.  If you are interested in a beach session please contact me and I will send you further information.

If you are interested in a local summertime session during June through September, I am booking those appointments now, so feel free to contact me as well.

To help celebrate the impending arrival of warm weather ( I hope!) I am having another blog contest as well.  Here’s how it works….we are going to see how many comments we can add to this blog post.  Everyone reading, please leave a comment and then pass this link (just forward the email you received announcing this post) and have friends, family, coworkers, random strangers, whomever you can convince to comment on this post as well.  If we can get at least 50 comments (only one per email address please) I will place everyone who commented in a drawing for a FREE summertime session.  If we can get at least 100 comments, I will draw for TWO free sessions!

***NEW UPDATE 2/24/09:  Myrtle Beach area sessions and Topsail area session are now full.  I still have session spots for the Oak Island trip.  You guys still have a long way to go in the comments, so email friends and family to help you out.  Even if you already have a session booked and you win, I’ll credit your session fee towards your purchase so it will still be free.  I will only conduct the drawing if we get to at least 50 comments, though. :)***

And just to get you in the mood, here are just a couple of my favorites from beach sessions in 2008:
