What an honor. This is the second time I have worked with the SC Medical Association to do their President’s Annual Portraits. Dr Delany and I had a good time shooting his portraits at the State House and The Horse Shoe.  Check out the Cover of SCMA Journal Issue.

I’m excited to announce a New Addition to the website. This is to celebrate women of all ages. Celebrate a weight loss goal, turning a certain age, Bridal shower, Valentine’s gift for your spouse or whatever your reason. This is a fun way to boost your self esteem and confidence. 

I have teamed up with former Miss South Carolina Lacie Duke with “Looks by Lacie” to do Make-up for the clients.

Check out the page for more information.

Today I had the pleasure of photographing the Miss Little Mountain Reunion Pageant. Hope you enjoy the Preview of some of the studio shots. They all looked beautiful:)

Well it has been a crazy past 5 weeks. My wedding season for this year started May 28th with Erica & James Ellis.  What a fun couple.  I  made life long friends with these two.  I am finally done with their images and will be sending those out this week. I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to be part of your day!

June 4th I was blessed to witness Melanie & Garrett Bedenbaugh’s wedding in Prosperity then the reception followed at the Fire house downtown Newberry. What a blast they had and i have the images to prove it..  Melanie is such a sweetheart and my daughter Bailey loves her to death.

June 11th i was honored to shoot one of my close friends son’s wedding. One of the happiest couples i have ever seen. Stephanie & Becca did a wonderful job with the wedding. Everything was beautiful. Images coming soon! Congratulations to Becca & Sunny Whitfield may god bless!

June 18th i helped a friend shoot a beautiful wedding at Macedonia, thankfull i don’t have to do the editing process for those. I had a wonderful time helping her and seeing many friends.

This past weekend on June 25th i was truely blessed to be surrounded by this family!! Congratulations Jill & Jonathon Fowler from Pelzer You could feel Gods love in the air with this entire family. Check out Jill Boggs music. She is an amazing singer. I love you Boggs family. Thank you again for allowing me to be part of this very special day! And by the way Jill, your thank you card made me cry! (I am such a baby).

I can’t wait to share Bridal portraits and Wedding photos for Jill & Jonathon.  They are both amazing! Coming soon.

As for personal life, My son graduated high school a few weeks ago and i am so proud of him. He is such a smart, handsome young man. My daughter will be turning 15 Thursday (WHAT!!!!) so guess i am taking off Friday to take Bria to get that permit and take a long, much needed July 4th weekend.

It was so much fun shooting Brittany and John.  They were both such good sports to some of my crazy request.

June 4th Preview…another beautiful wedding on a perfect day!

A few fun shots from the Bridal portraits

May 28th James and Erica Wedding Preview. Congratulations guys!! This was such a beautiful wedding!

Just a little to calm the nerves..

Stephanie did the 30 minute mini session on location.  Normal mini sessions give you about 5 images. These turned out great and such a beautiful model she is. Very photogenic. Unfortunatly didn’t have time to catch up with her daughter, who is adorable. Hopefully she will bring me back to do the newborn portraits.

I had such a great time shooting McKenzie’s photos last Saturday.  They did the Ultimate Package where i took my backdrops and a few props to their house and I shot for about 2 hours with her. Multiple outfit changes. Whatever mom wanted.  We wore her out as you will see by the end!!

Here is just a Preview
