Julianne’s First Portraits…

Julianne Miller is the adorable daughter to Kathryn and Mark, who live in Greenville, SC.  The Miller’s drove down to Myrtle Beach and allowed me to photograph their playful daughter.  The images turned out wonderful and my favorites are the ones which showcase Julianne’s beautiful blue eyes!

Tiffany and Clinton’s Engagement…

Charleston natives, Tiffany Hunter and her groom-to-be, Clinton, had their engagement session in downtown Charleston on what seemed like one of the hottest days in July!  The couple lives in North Charleston and are excited to be tying the knot this May 21 at the South Carolina Aquarium!  By the way, Clinton got big points with myself and Tiffany for enduring through the heat and sweat for so long!

I don’t know who’s expression I love more! 

Cutey Booty’s Sweet Models…

Eight little models came into the studio (all at one time!) to model the Cutey Booty’s line of personalized bloomers and boxers.  To sum it up in two words, this was definitely organized chaos!  In the end, we captured precious images of these cuties modeling the adorable line!

Please visit and order any garments through Cutey Booty or at Sugar Snap Pea on King Street!

I learned very quickly that our studio is not very baby proof!!

Lacy and Brendan’s “Trash the Dress”…

Lacy Danikas and Brendan Chick were married on May 15th, 2010 at the South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston.  What better way to celebrate the end of wedding planning and chaos than to have a “Trash the Dress” session the very next day!  We started in downtown Charleston and slowly made our way to the beach!  “Trash the Dress” sessions are always so much fun for myself and the bride and groom!!  They are completely relaxed and able to enjoy every moment. It truly gives the couple sometime, in their wedding attire, to reflect on their wedding day and realize that they are now husband and wife!

Katherine’s 3 Month Session…

Katherine Ann Johnson has changed so much since her newborn portrait.  Four months old now, parents Joy and Keith are so proud of  their first daughter.  Katherine has developed such a strong personality already!  Throughout the entire session she watched me closely, while holding her bear even closer.  Once we took her outside, she was all giggles and her true personality shined through!
