Last week, Franklin Sussex Automall, one of our local clients in New Jersey, was looking to have some promotional shots done for a ‘Duke Fest’ event later in August. Using Kelly, one of their employees, as Daisy Duke and their newest addition, the Dodge Challenger, we set out to take some shots for posters, advertisements and cutouts to help promote the event.
With not a single cloud in the sky and temperatures approaching 85 degrees at 9:30 in the morning, we positioned the car in a local setting that overlooked a valley below. We setup Kelly in a few poses and snapped some shots …
During the shoot, we found out a little background information about the Dodge Challenger and Bill’s Duke Fest. It seems that the manager for John Schneider (the original Bo Duke) has purchased the car. In return for the incredible deal that Bill worked out for him, John’s manager has arranged an appearance of Bo Duke (John Schneider) for Bill’s Duke Fest in August. As an added bonus, three of the original General Lee Dodge Chargers will also be on hand for the event as well as a local classic car club called the Wanderers.
The event Bill has planned looks like it is going to be incredibly huge and we will definitely be on site that day to capture all of the action as it happens!
Bethanne, our picture coordinator for the High Point Youth Soccer League, loves our work. She also has a son on the Sussex-Wantage Little League. Unfortunately, the league’s current photographer doesn’t provide any action photography services nor do they provide the custom posters we’ve been offering since January.
With that in mind, Bethanne invited us to one of her son’s final games to grab some action shots so she could create a custom poster of her son in action. As I headed towards third base, Loretta took first and we both covered second and the home plate. Since her son was the catcher, most of our attention was focused there … although we did capture some shots of the other kids in hopes of a few extra sales!
We stayed for only a few innings and captured nearly 500 shots! Here are a few of our favorites …

When I travel around off-assignment, I tend to bring my camera with me anyways as I never know what I will see. This habit proved to be a good thing!
While driving home through Sussex NJ, I saw the wintery sky begin to quickly change colors as the sun started to set. After finishing my last errand, I drove around the area to see if I could find a nice little spot to get a shot or two off. As I drove down one of the back roads, the quick-thinking side of my brain told me to go straight instead of making a right-hand turn. Good thing I finally listened!
As I came over the crest of the hill, this shot nearly fell in my lap!

As the season began to wrap up, we went out to cover one of the last games for the Lady Bombers and the High Point Soccer club. With the sun barely making it through the clouds and the wind dropping the temperature by a few degrees, we tried to stay warm and caught a couple great shots of the Ladys in action!
