Thanks for checking out my Blog.....a place that I've found to be most effective to showcase my work and my photography style. I am a Wedding, Children and Editorial Photographer out of Charleston, South Carolina.

TO ANSWER MOST EVERYONE'S QUESTIONS about "What should the children wear?" and "What's the best location?" Look through my pictures.....you will quickly see that I'm NOT a khaki and white, matchy "look-at-me!" photographer. I strive to make the pictures about everyone's personality.....and not their perfect outfit or beautiful yard. I've said it before.....Jeans and t-shirt over a crunchy, lace dress any time. Let's go climb some trees, people! And brides...take a deeeeep breath and relax. The portrait is pain-free.....and your wedding day should be one of your very best.

So put on what makes you comfortable and what suits everyone's personalities best and let's head out to a park or playground and just be. And, just so you know, the children can pretty much do nothing wrong. The rowdier the better and even the crying pictures turn out to be fun years later. Oh and Mom, yours is not the first photo session where someone has cried - I promise.

~Sitting Fees:

Things happen for a reason…

I am a firm believer that God puts us in certain places…at certain times…for certain reasons. So one day last week I received a message from a lady saying she had a unique story….she had seen an article about me – and liked my story. By the end of the message….I was thoroughly confused because I couldn’t recall an article written about me and as far as my story goes – it sounds a little something like this: ‘crazy, fun household with husband, 3 children and a reproducing pile of laundry accompanied by a yard full of weeds’….Mmmmm – I wonder where we connect?

Well, I called her up – learned she and her husband are newly married by a couple of years…..he had 11 children – she had 5 and they were both widows. She started telling me about the article she had seen and I stopped her saying I wasn’t aware of an article. She looked it up while we were on the phone – and then was perplexed because it wasn’t about me but someone with the same first name (a GUY, go figure)….and she’s not sure how she got to me. Well I told her that I believe things happen for a reason and that I was part of a big family brought together by two widows and maybe that’s why our paths crossed.

Why was she calling? She wanted someone to capture her husband – and his six boys – building their DREAM HOME with their own hands. She said the respect these men had for their father was incredible, they were hard workers and she wanted to capture the special project in motion. I was honored to cross the threshold of the dusty, loud and messy structure….and there was not a single, lazy one in the bunch. The men didn’t know I was coming…they were polite but never put down a tool buzzing around the house…making it all happen. Thanks for having me – it felt special to be included….until I sat in tobacco spit…and then not so special. Oh, the tree?….she wanted the house oriented to face the big, old beauty. (Now that I think about it, my step family’s father was building a house with my step-brothers before he passed.)
