Ginger Harvey of Ginger Snaps is a warm, friendly and nationally recognized photographer her clients say they love working with.

An Outer Banks native, Ginger says she’s always been a “beach girl at heart” and feels fortunate to be back home after her studies to “live and work with the sand between my toes.” Her degrees in Studio Art and Psychology from UNC-CH are a great background for the passion she finally focused on after studying photography in Italy.

Ginger’s specialty is wedding and portrait photography, but she’s also done some very nice local personality photos, like her black and white series of an Outer Banks duck decoy carver. She does a variety of portraits that include family, weddings, pets, maternity and seniors, providing casual and fun sessions that last about an hour. She offers a variety of wedding packages, either pre-designed or custom, and she includes sites from Carova to Hatteras and including Manteo (with travel fees to some areas).

Photography-wise, Ginger says her goal  is to “create images that incorporate a balance of candid emotion, photojournalism and  hints of traditional style.”

To Ginger, photography is more than a career or something she loves; it’s “who she is,” and she wants you to have as much fun during a shoot as she has. She’s available year round, and you can contact her by mail, email or phone to set up an appointment.

Jimmy's Seafood Buffet

Jimmy's Seafood Buffet

Home of the Crab Leg & Lobster Buffet for 25! years! Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a great stop for an all you can eat affordable dinner extravaganza. The buffet offers over 100 different items. It even serves Jumbo Alaskan crab legs and Jumbo steamed shrimp, something you will not find on any other buffet in the OBX. The buffet offers a variety of seafood and non seafood options. Try some of Jimmy’s seafood options and load your plate with blackened tuna, Louisiana crawfish, steamed scallops and mussels, fried oysters and deviled crabs. Not in the mood for seafood? Fill your plate with steak, pineapple glazed ham, fried chicken, BBQ ribs, and fettuccini Alfredo to name a few. The buffet also offers a kid section. Let your kids load their plates with chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and corn dog nuggets. Don’t forget dessert! The buffet also offers soft serve ice cream and a plethora of baked goods. 

 

It’s been 25 years since Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet opened its doors for the first time. Since that inaugural summer, the goal has remained the same: provide customers with a tasty, fresh array of seafood full of Caribbean flavor.

 

Elizabeth Dowless and her husband Jerry had always worked in restaurants in the Outer Banks, so when the opportunity to open Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet with a couple of friends arose, it was an easy yes. The Dowlesses bought out the business in 2003, excited to turn Jimmy’s into an Outer Banks staple. When Jerry passed away later that year, Dowless knew she wanted to continue pursuing their dream on her own.

 

Dowless went all in on the concept of a fresh, flavorful seafood buffet and her hard work paid off. Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a beloved fixture of Outer Banks dining, with customers returning year after year for the fresh fare.

 

“Customers keep in contact with me throughout the winter. I get people every day asking me when we’re opening for the season, and customers book their vacations around our opening,” Dowless says. “I absolutely love getting to see familiar faces come back to see us each year. I love seeing them lose their minds over the buffet! Their excitement is what I love most about my job.”
