My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACES to take pictures in Rock Hill, SC or anywhere, for that matter, are places I've never been before. My creative juices are really flowing when I'm in a new location, and I THRIVE on challenges. That's part of the lure for photographers. While it's always usually easier to take pictures when we know the location and what the light will be doing at certain times at that location, it's not as interesting. With that out of the way, I will dive into

Like many children, Canon was a little scared of getting his cake on him. Just look at that inquisitive expression on his face! "Mom, are you SURE this is ok?" Mom bribed him with cheerios by putting them on top of the cake. We made duck noises, we played peek-a-boo, I sent my husband to grab a tablet full of toddler games, we got out the rubber duckies and bubbles, we did everything we could to try an ease him into the cake and out of a tantrum, but Canon has a very stron

Holly and Bo had a gorgeous lakeside wedding in Lake Wylie, SC. Just look at that sky! This blog post is the beginning of a rebranding era for me. I love making these memes for couples to use on their instagrams or facebook accounts, and they are taken right from the albums I create for them. Generally I like to include about 3 pages with text in a standard 8x8 album. If you would like to add me on ig my username is @jenniferobot. In the social media world we live in, being

Congratulations! You're probably reading this because you just got engaged, and you value preserving your memories in an artful way. I wish you all the best on your new life together, whether I'm your photog or not! Many people starting out in life | adulthood | marriage are not the most well off, and a lot of times parents get the expenses of the wedding. That's totally understandable, and for those who are not fortunate enough to have parents that can and will do that, yo

To do a composite, which is 2 or more images combined, there are a few things you will need. If the subject is going to have things surrounding it and you need it to stay stationary to make the scene, then you will need to use a tripod. First get the scene set, lit, and composed beforehand especially if it includes children or babies who have such short attention spans. I use my other children as stand ins when working with my own baby, but you can use your assistant, or an e

Tonight my daughter and I decided to shoot some water droplets! We had a blast!! These did not turn out exactly how I wanted, so we will reshoot in the future, but I think it was a good first try. What I am trying to capture is the "crown" the water makes before the droplet actually appears. My daughter, Guinevere, is such a great help to me. The way we shot these: 1.) Make a tiny hole in a plastic sandwich bag, fill with water, and attach to something. 2.) Take a pen or s

Here is a slideshow I made for Kristy Lynn Self & Daniel's wedding at The Coker Ranch in Lancaster. Some of the images are also from Falls Park in Greenville. Such a beautiful bride and wedding!! There are images about 1/3 of the way through of the flower girl, Jazzy, and she was perfect for her role! She ran around collecting flowers and giving them to people the entire day. Those images are important to me, because that series really embodied the feel of the wedding-carefre
