Halong Bay

We had the opportunity to spend the night in a luxury junk boat in Halong Bay which was worth all of the beautiful photos that I got out of this trip. Kayaking through bat caves, jumping off of the ship, and visiting floating markets were highlights from this 2 day adventure. Halong Bay is a hidden gem in the world.

Vietnam

I recently traveled throughout Asia and will be blogging about the various cities that I visited along with some select images. The images below are from Dalat, Vietnam a small mountain town outside of Ho Chi Minh City. Dalat is famous for its farmer's market and it is considered to be the "little Paris of Vietnam."

Late with the Date

I'm working on a calendar for next year and thought I would give it a shot with September despite the fact that the month is half over!

The Life of a Debutante

I built a wall of ribbon for my photo shoot of a debutante on Friday. Shooting to a soundtrack of Michael Jackson helped the model liven up a bit. The shots came out better than I imagined. Behind the scenes at a debutante ball will be one of my next assignments coming up in the fall. Before then it is off to Thailand, Vietnam, and Hong Kong for 3 weeks. Lots of photos are sure to be posted in the next month.

Summer Evenings

One of the reasons that I love the summer are the warm summer nights. This is a photo from a memorable night in July at the Durham Bulls game.

Perfect Start

Dreaming of a vanilla chai tea latte from Guglhupf in Durham. They are a perfect start to any morning.

It is because of this man that an iphone contains my life today. The list of things my phone does for me is endless... it is my alarm clock, my flashlight, my newspaper, my pen and paper, my bank, my television, my level, my radio, my cookbook, and my personal assistant in every single way.
