Realtors Mike & Janet Martinez are a husband and wife team (we love that, of course; we get it!) at North Carolina Mountain Investments LLC in Wilkesboro NC.
Ryan photographed them the last two years and was happy to do it again this year!

We love family portraits whether they are set in the studio, the great outdoors, a specific location like the mountains or high country, or on our property in our outdoor portrait garden.

So much of being event photographers and particularly musical event photographers means being flexible, running around like a crazy person, knowing when stop, drop and roll and when to snap…. not like a maniac, but when to snap a moment. Sometimes it’s random and lucky, sometimes it’s absolute precision and experience and sometimes it’s a function of the reverie of music, memory and fun.
Ryan and I happen to be big time music fans which comes in handy when asked to return as Official photographers for Merlefest and asked to spend a long weekend capturing singer-songwriters, trios or bands we love. We can find the right moment to capture their instruments, collaboration or groove. We’re aware of our jobs, but transported by the music too, you know? As a job, it doesn’t suck. We love the lighting, the venues, the crowds and all the angles that allow us to bring these portraits to you.
Here are more of our favorites from 2018 Merlefest. See 2018 Merlefest Part 1 here.
This year’s Merlefest was not only a blast of great tunes, it allowed us to watch some favorites, see some new faces and capture dynamic moments and crowd-pleasers.

You know there is a through line – a connective line that runs through your story – when you can link times of the year and events as if looking back at a journal from childhood or college or even a few years ago. Like the seasons bring the exciting and inevitable, Spring for us brings Merlefest. It is an example of that through line for us. We have been official photographers for Merlefest since 2015, making this our 4th year and since our first venture, we’ve had so much other life, including the addition of a child.
For 2018, it was a reclamation and revisiting and – poetry aside – a crap-ton of work – and this time, Finley was with us. We found ourselves again, remembering what we love as event photographers and serious music-lovers. Below is just a selection of some of our favorites!! Stand by for more in a couple of days!

We joined the Merlefest brigade of official photographers in 2015 and as our 4th year approaches and we prepare for our badges to arrive and the admin stuff to cross our desks, we’re getting jazzed. I just wrote about dreaming of spring and the orchard we love. This feels the same to me. There’s heat and sweat – the layers come off as the spring air evaporates the dew, lawn chairs are set in rows, the stages are literally set and the throngs arrive to listen to the very best in blue grass and Americana. We love Merlefest.
Our first year credentials and we loved every single second of it. Cannot wait for 2018. The line-up is still evolving and the dates are April 26 – April 29. Get your tickets now and we’ll see you there!
