I want to start this blog first by saying how much I LOVE my job! Before becoming a photographer I worked retail. Depending on what part of retail you're in you may have the ability to connect with people, make friends with your customers, and really get to know them.

However, I was only ever able to meet a certain segment of people really, and the on-going connections were nothing like th

Jennifer and Scott knew each other in High School. After many years apart, they reconnected years later as adults, and they were instantly in love! Their love is so absolutely evident in their engagement photos, and their happiness is catching! I'll be posting their wedding photos soon, too, but I've been quite behind lately!

That's totally understandable, and for those who are not fortunate enough to have parents that can and will do that, yo

This is a technique that my whole family has enjoyed using! I found it through Jimmy Bui who in turn found it through Sam Hurd, the creator of the technique. All you do is hold the prism up to the lens and just turn it until you find something you like. Experiment and have fun!! You can purchase a prism on Amazon for about $15. I used a 6 inch long Amlong Prism. No 2 images will be the same! These are portraits from our first day out playing with it. As soon as we got i

Marti & John had a beautiful Southern Chic Wedding on their farm in McConnells, SC. They were a very fun and humble couple with a simple, yet elegant home wedding. The bride was so relaxed while the groom scrambled to finish everything outside their back door. I took the 2nd position for this wedding, so I've only included a few shots from this wedding in this post. The primary shooter ended up using my flash, so I was very nervous about the Bridal shots post-wedding, but
