Ashleigh is one of my best friends and I was so excited to photograph her beautiful belly! For those of you that know me, I am obsessed with “the bump!” I think it is one of the most amazing miracles in life! The idea that a human being is growing and living inside of you for 10 months just blows my mind.
Ashleigh just recently gave birth to Mr. Cruz and those images are soon to come! Her portraits were photographed inside and around our Charleston studio.
Tashauna was recently married in Florence, SC. I was not able to photograph her wedding, but I was able to capture her bridal session. She came down to Charleston for the session accompanied by 6 family members! It was a first for me to have that many people there, but they made her laugh and smile the entire time. For as hot as it was that day, she never showed it! Tashauna and her family were a joy to work with! Good luck in Florida Tashauna!
Mark Kassouf and Ashley Yount tied the knot on May 1, 2010 at Risen Christ Lutheran Church in Myrtle Beach, SC. The couple was married by Mark’s father, which made the ceremony that much more memorable and emotional. The service was followed by a reception at the always beautiful Pine Lakes Country Club. One of my absolute favorite details was when I saw that all of Mark’s groomsmen were wearing black and white Chuck Taylor’s! Before the ceremony, Mark even gave his dad a pair and he actually wore them under his robe while marrying them. It’s always a relief to me when the couple and the bridal party are excited to take pictures! When everyone is involved and excited like they were, it shows through in their final images!!
You guys make a beautiful couple! Thank you for allowing me to be there with you!!
All of the groomsmen wore Chucks!! AWESOME!
What a fun cake!!
I love that crazy look in the groom’s brother’s eyes!! (the guy to the left of the groom)
Mr. Chad is one of my precious babies on our First Year Baby Plan. This means that his family gets a portrait session every 3 months for his first year. This is so much fun for me and allows me time to really get to know each family. This was Chad’s third shoot. It is always amazing to me how much each child changes. I have learned how important their entire first year is and how blessed I am to be able to document it for the family. Here are a few of my favorites…
Priceless! I consider this my favorite shot of the day!
Lindsay and John are to be married on July 9, 2011. They chose to have their engagement session in historic Charleston, SC. Downtown Charleston is one of those places where you can turn any corner and find a beautiful portrait spot. Because of this, I try to find new places to shoot. This month has been hard. I seem to have found two or three new locations and want to go there each time (so you might notice a couple of the same locations in the next few shoots
).
I look forward to working more with you both and hearing all of the fun details about your wedding. It will be here before you know it!!
Absolutely one of my favorites! Something about their looks, the light, everything!
