Yes, she really jumped on a trampoline

I just love it when a client knows exactly what she wants, and Page and her Mom knew. They had already scoped out spots for us on their family land. I always love going to new places and this time was no exception. We rode to several different spots, but I think my favorite was the path of trees. It seemed so peaceful and quiet, a special little place tucked away in the woods. Page will be a senior at GMC and was so great to work with. As you can see from the image above, the last shot we took was the one of her jumping on a trampoline (which, by the way, was her Mom's idea). It was a great way to end such a fun shoot!

4 times the fun with Sisters and Cousins

The title of this posting says it all. I had so much fun with these 4 little ones. I have been friends with their Moms for many years and I was so excited to be able to take their children's photographs. Ivey and Emma are sisters and Mogan and Payton are sisters AND they are 1st cousins. I love the relationship that these girls have. It reminds me of how close I am to my cousin. She is so much like a sister to me and I know the 4 of them feel the same way. We were able to get some good shots of all FOUR together after a quick trip to the store for a snack, some great dancing and singing from Sally, Farrar and myself. I have to say, I am so glad I am friends with Sally and Farrar because if anyone else heard me singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider would have died laughing. However, it worked and we got some great shots.

Meet Samantha

I had the pleasure to photograph another senior, Samantha. She was so easy to work with and photograph. Samantha has such a beautiful smile, one to match her beautiful personality. I cannot begin to say how much I enjoy photographing seniors. They are so much fun and so great to work with. One of the things I love so much about my job is getting to meet so many wonderful people and seniors are no exception. I often think what it will be like when my oldest child and all my friends' children become seniors and I photograph them. It seems far away, but I have a feeling it will be here before I know it.

Kimberly and Lance

Let me just say right from the start, that Kimberly and Lance had such a fun wedding. I was so excited to be a part of it, as I have known Kimberly since we were children. She made such a beautiful bride and was so relaxed the whole day. If you have ever photographed a wedding, sometimes, the groomsmen want to hurry things along because we all know men do not like having their picture taken. However, Lance's bunch was a different story. Tara and I had the best time working with this bridal party. The guys were awesome and even came up with some shots they wanted to do on their own. Apparently, Lance is known for what they call the "pop in". As you can see from the above image of the groomsmen, Lance "pops in" pictures when you least expect it. The day was beautiful and I could not have asked for a better couple to work with. They made my job so easy. Right now they are soaking up the rays in St. Lucia. Hope you two are having a blast.

David & Tiffany

A couple of weeks ago I photographed David and Tiffany's wedding. In all the weddings I have done, I have to say, this wedding ceremony was the most touching and most personal one I have attended. They had a full choir singing, the whole church received Communion as the bride and groom watched and the vows were lovely. I was so honored to be a part of such a special day. The first time I meet with Tiffany and her mother, I felt like I had known them for years. Tiffany knew exactly what she wanted and planned everything perfectly. It was a beautiful day, one I hope you can see through the above images. So congrats to the new couple, Mr. and Mrs. David Cole.

Another great senior

I have to say, I love this time of year. I get to meet so many new people and remember over and over again the excitement of my senior year...however long ago that was :-). Yesterday I had the pleasure to photograph Amy. She was such a natural and I love the results of our session. She is beautiful both inside and out.

JMA senior

Meet Macie! She had her session a couple of days ago and we had a great time. She was up for anything and was such a good sport about it all, even in the hot weather! She climbed rocks and even rode an old bike. She is a beautiful girl inside and out and I really enjoyed our session. I also hear she is a great softball player...so best of luck to you in your senior year, Macie.

Footprints in the Sand

What a successful first annual Footprints in the Sand session. First I would like to thank all of those that made the trip down to Hilton Head for the beach sessions. We had a blast and I enjoyed each and every family. Secondly, I filled up quickly, so if you contacted me and you were unable to get a session, please keep an eye out for the next beach session. The weather was beautiful and the scenery was breathtaking. I love sessions at the beach, the white sand is just an awesome reflector for lighting. Above are a couple of the ones I have looked over quickly. There are many, many more to go through, but I just thought I would share a sneak peak with everyone. Again, thank you for allowing me to help create lasting memories for you and your families.
