One of the biggest things I’ve been trying to do this year to help my business is to take more vacations. How does that make any sense you ask? Well because a well rested, relaxed photographer can be a lot more creative, innovative, and adaptive than someone who just shoots and shoots and shoots. It also allows that photographer to take awesome photos during their vacations to share with you. Which is really the whole point of this post.

When my good friend Michael asked Deb and I to come out to Bald Head Island in North Carolina last weekend, it was a no brainer. We had a weekend off, it had been raining all summer, and our bright white complexion said we needed some beach time. Bald Head Island got it’s name from all the old men the sand dunes that pile up along the shore that apparantly look like “bald heads.” I’ll just stick with my first instinct. Anyways, we had a blast and created some pretty excellent scenic photos on the beach during the day, and headed back at high tide around midnight. Check it out:

Can’t wait to go back!
