Jessica and Brian | Charleston Engagement Photographer

Jessica and Brian were so easy to photograph because their love is genuine, they laugh easily together, and they really have fun together.  We had a great time walking around downtown Charleston chatting about their wedding plans for next October and what their plans are once Jessica completes her psychology internship (she's in the same program as Brandon).  Finding gorgeous locations and amazing light were just an added bonus for me.  Even though they have been together since high school, when Jessica and Brian looked at each other it was clear to me that they are still deeply in love. Thanks for asking me to document your love and the culmination of your journey together up to this point.  I wish you all the best on your upcoming wedding day.  If the love you shared with each other during your engagement session is any indication for your future together, I am confident that you will have many years of deep, genuine love and easy laughter.

Sweet Baby James | Charleston Baby Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing baby James and his mamma, Erin.  Erin was also new to the Charleston area when we met in our prenatal yoga class last fall.  It was so fun to have a Charleston friend to go through pregnancy with together.  We could be excited together as we experienced different pregnancy milestones.  And it was refreshing to have someone who understands how trying those last few weeks of waiting can be. :)  Erin is very crafty and can make just about anything.  She made an adorable bird mobile for James' nursery, so I had to take a few shots of it to share with you.  And, yes, she actually sewed each of those cute little birds! Erin, thank you for your support and friendship over this past year.  It has meant more to me than words can express and it has been so fun to share this journey into motherhood together.  I am so grateful for you and your sweet baby boy.

Josh and Tara | Charleston Wedding Photographer

I had the honor of photographing Josh and Tara's gorgeous beachfront Charleston wedding as they said "I do" while surrounded by their family and friends.  Though the wedding venue, the ocean view, and details were beautiful, what stood out to me was how deeply in love Josh and Tara are and how much their friends and family adore them.  It was so fun to stand back and see how happy everyone was to celebrate them and their new marriage. Tara and Josh, thank you for the privilege of including me in your wedding day.  And thank you for the endless kindness and generosity you have shown me and my growing little family during our year in Charleston.  Your friendships have been one of the high points of our year here.

Announcing Our Newest Addition

I am thrilled and proud to introduce my sweet baby boy.  He was born on April 9, 2012 at 7:23am.  He weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 20 inches long.  He turned 3 months on Monday and he already weighs 14 pounds and is 24 inches long.  Time is really just flying by and I am doing my best to cherish these sweet moments with him (even if I am still a bit sleep deprived).  These are the first of many photos of him that I will share here, but without any further ado... meet our baby boy!
