The Loncars Extended Family | Sandbridge, Virginia Beach

Growing up in a big family, I’ve always had a soft spot for big families.  I thrive off of the slight chaos and all the different personalities. I love how there’s always someone to chat with.  And as we’ve all grown and started families of our own, it’s nice to watch our kids play together. […]

The Russo Family | Little Island Park, Sandbridge, VA

When you treat people right, they send their friends your way!  In May I photographed this family at Buckroe Beach, and they in turn referred this sweet family to me who was vacationing in Sandbridge, just south of Virginia Beach.  Sessions with little boys on vacation can be difficult.  They’re gung ho for exactly 3.5 […]

July 10, 2009: Planting a Seed for Fowler Studios

I didn’t know it that day, but that’s the day a seed was planted for Fowler Studios.  I was in Brunswick, GA on a business trip when my mom called and told me my nieces had been born… three months early.  One passed away shortly after birth and the other was tiny, but a fighter.  Kyah […]
