"Photography is a means of recording forever the things one sees for a moment" -Aaron Sussman
I feel extremely blessed to have found my true passion in life.....photography! I love everything about it, the excitement of meeting new people, the art of capturing the moments and expressions that mean so much and the challenge of learning something new everyday. I strive to create classic, natural looking, beautiful portraits with a splash of island style. I specialize in on-location, natural light photography and am available in Bluffton, Hilton Head, Beaufort and Savannah.

Tunnel of Love | Bluffton Maternity Photographer

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

I love silhouettes, and definitely wanted to get one of our baby bump, but I was having a hard time finding the perfect spot, until we found this tunnel!  This is one of my new favorite locations in Bluffton and I think Stef rocked this silhouette!

Strawberries! Strawberries! | Bluffton Maternity Photographer

Monday, April 23rd, 2012

I have always loved strawberries, but since getting pregnant, I am OBSESSED with them!  They are my one pregnancy craving that is so intense I can’t stand to be without them!  On many occasions Stef has had to run out and get some for me, so now I make sure to keep our fridge fully stocked!  I think this baby is going to come out a big strawberry!  I know she will be just as sweet as one!

Good Things Do Come to Those Who Wait | Bluffton Photographer

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

You always hear the inspirational sayings, “good things come to those who wait”, “dreams do come true”, and that “miracles can happen” during a time when a loved one is trying to comfort you.   Whenever I heard those sayings, deep down I wanted to believe them, but a small part of me doubted; especially when it came to starting a family.  Things were not going according to plan and after years of trying to have a baby,  I was still not pregnant.  We struggled for 5 years with  infertility, and let me tell you, those were the longest 5 years of my life.  Even now when I look back, I really don’t know how I kept it together!  God, my family, friends and photography were the bright spots that kept me focused and positive, as well as, the little voice deep down urging me to believe,  ”good things come to those who wait”, “dreams do come true”, and that “miracles can happen”.

Well, our dream finally has come true, and I am so happy to announce that we are going to have a baby!   So, that little voice that kept whispering to my heart, telling me to not give up hope and to believe, was right!  Stef and I feel extremely blessed and are so joyful about welcoming this long awaited miracle into our lives soon!  We are documenting every part of this pregnancy and cherishing every kick, every ultrasound, and every sleepless night, because it truly is a miracle that we thought we would never get to experience!  Here are a few of our favorite images so far.  I will share more as we take them!

We are also very excited to have so many wonderful weddings booked this fall, and will be very ready to get back to photography once I return from maternity leave in July!

I am so excited to share a few of my favorites from this session!  Stef and I had so much fun with these two little kiddos and their fabulous grandparents!  How cute are these brothers?  And, what’s even better was how polite and well behaved they were!  We spent half of the session at this awesome tree for some pictures, and then moved on to the beach for the second half of the session.  There are more fun images to come!  Enjoy your sneak peek!
