Norman gives last minute advice and assistance with the all important cake cutting!Norman J. McCullough

Born in July of 1950 in Baltimore, Maryland. An uncle from the West Coast introduced Norman to photography at the age of 13. This "opened up a whole new medium of expression.”

Norman was drafted into the military in 1970 and he spent 2 years as a combat photographer with the John F. Kennedy Center for Military Assistance and Special Warfare.

Upon discharge from active duty went to work at what was then called Essex Community College. Norman is the Producer of Instructional Media for CCBC Essex, Library / Media Services Department. He is a Master Scuba Diver and has a fantastic 4-legged son named Bucaneer.

 

Lauren Dawson Strebel

Born July 1973 in Baltimore, MD, Norman and Darlene’s niece & goddaughter, Lauren joined the GREYSTONE team in 2005. With over 10 years of amateur photography experience, she has apprenticed under Norman's watchful eye and his 40+ years of knowledge!

She is a full time Web Developer working for VisionTechnologies, a Grad Student at University of Baltimore, a Maryland Wineries Association Wine Ambassador, a labor doula and much more. She has a wonderful son and has had many years of wedding experiences!

Making sure the dress is perfect is Lauren's main job!She comes prepared for anything from lost flower girls to crying mother's of the bride. She has a plethora of "Smile Creating Techniques" which are always under development and can "floof a dress" with the best of them - see right!

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." - Cecil Beaton

Darlene & NormanGREYSTONE'S History...

GREYSTONE Photographics was started in 1985 by husband and wife team, Darlene & Norman McCullough.  They saw a need for people to get photographic services at reasonable a cost. They enjoyed capturing images of all sorts of events from: weddings, parties, anniversaries, reunions, or just when the family got together. GREYSTONE Photographics found themselves specializing in underwater, wedding and portrait photography. They won numerous awards over the course of their 20 years of work together.

Sadly, on May 11, 2005 we lost Darlene to lung cancer. Her battle was short, but well fought and her amazing spirit is still very much in all that we do.
