I'm back! With a gorgeous beach wedding
Wow it has been a long time since I posted! I took a little break over the summer and am back to play catch up with some amazing events and photos. Stay tuned for the cutest little ninjas you've ever seen, water balloon fights, Fourth of July lantern lighting, and lots of other summer fun!
Kicking it off with this gorgeous bride and dapper groom at their laid back Folly Beach wedding. Mike and Christine, along with their entire family, are some of the warmest, sweetest people I have had the pleasure of photographing. The skies cleared on this stormy weekend to allow for a wonderful beach ceremony complete with rainbows and light flares. Right up my alley. Enjoy!

My sister, the fairy
My sister Sophia recently came down for a visit and I could not resist making some light flare photography in the gorgeous sunset light. Sophia kind of reminds everyone of a fairy. She's sweet, light, little, giggly, and a bright star. I promised to make her look like she was floating in a bubble. Hope I did well.

Saying goodbye to Will
My dear friend Mikaela has two amazingly gorgeous Newfoundlands who also happen to be father and son. Will, the father, was diagnosed with Wobbler Disease this past winter. It's a spinal condition that causes an unsteady gait and difficulty getting up. For a Newfoundland this is definitely not something you want to hear.
I have had the pleasure of photographing Will and Chaucer for the past two years. Last year we did a sweet shoot at one of their favorite spots on Sullivan's Island, but this year due to Will's condition, we kept it close to home. Mikaela posed with her boys in their front yard just days before she had to put Will down. It was an honor to photograph these beautiful dogs and to capture Will's last days.
With love and peace.
Will, Chaucer, & Mikaela
Miss Shelby. Class of 2014. Congratulation!!!
I have had the pleasure of photographing Shelby twice now, and I have to say she is gorgeous, photogenic, sweet, and very mature for being a graduate from the class of 2014. She will remain close to home and attend the College of Charleston this fall. I was delighted that she and her mom chose me to photograph such a wonderful transition in Shelby's life.
We started at the Alhambra Hall taking photos near the big tree by the water that holds many childhood memories for Shelby. We then headed to the Pitt Street Bridge and somehow avoided the masses of people out to enjoy the amazing weather. My sincerest congratulations to Shelby as she starts a whole new adventure in her life! This session was a blast. Enjoy.

Little Ninjas Yellow Belt Testing
Our son started karate at the Daniel Island Japan Karate Institute this past January. It is an amazing program that teaches kids self-respect, discipline, body awareness, and so many other great skills. Liam has been doing well with the program and recently passed his yellow belt test! It was a pretty big deal at the dojo, all the instructors were standing on the floor with their clip boards watching the various skills and exercises to determine if a student should pass or stay in their belt. Liam's Little Ninjas class has kids ages 3-4 and I think they were all a little nervous- I would be! Here are some shots from the test.
