Newport, North Carolina is a sleepy little town on the ocean near Emerald Isle and Camp Lejune. We photographed a beautiful waterfront community called Cannonsgate.

We just returned from another assignment in beautiful Cashiers, North Carolina. We photographed this home that was constructed using recycled timbers from an old Pennsylvania farmhouse. The old farmhouse, built in 1791, was the only home that survived the Carlisle deluge and was mentioned in the writings of Ben Franklin.

We just returned from spending a week in North Carolina. The trees and flowers were all in bloom as spring was coming into its own.
While we were there we photographed one log home, 3 retail centers, and 1 timber frame home.

We just returned from an assignment near Gatlinburg, Tennessee, photographing this wilderness lodge. It sits near the top of the mountain, so the only way we were able to get photos of the whole exterior on one side was to rent a helicopter. Very cool place. Sleeps 52. It even has a little log home for the kids.

The best part of this job was that the lodge wasn’t rented the week that we were there so we got to stay there for 3 days and enjoy the house in the Smokies.

We just returned from photographing a beautiful home in the mountains of North Carolina for a story on Asian inspired architecture in America. The house is perched on the mountainside with a waterfall below.

We just returned from a photo shoot in Tucson, Arizona. We photographed an amazing, award-winning home for a home electronics magazine.

When we travel, we always leave an extra day or two in case of bad weather. The weather was perfect so we spent our day hiking in beautiful Sabino canyon with my friends from Tucson, Pratup and Kusum.

We are still to recover from a whirlwind 2007. We visited over 60 cities for photographic assignments, including Phoenix, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Las Vegas, and Charlotte.

A few of our favorites include Cashiers, North Carolina, Burlington, Vermont and Lake Dillon, Colorado.

Check out this spectacular house we photographed in Loveland, Colorado. This house was featured by HGTV and our photo appears on the cover of Custom Wood Homes as well as in Electronic House magazines.

2008 looks to be just as busy with over 40 location shoots already scheduled by the first week in January. It’s a good thing we love to travel!
