"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.

The Blackwell Family | Bluffton Family Photographer

Saturday, December 11th, 2010

Stef and I met the Blackwell family the other day on a beautiful, crisp, pre-winter evening.  The air was so refreshing and invigorating!  During the photo shoot I kept thinking how cool it was that we are already into December and the weather is still fabulous.  I have to admit though that towards the end of the shoot we all had rosy red noses and cheeks!  We thoroughly enjoyed photographing this wonderful family.  They are so photogenic and I love how you can see the family love in every photo!  Their little dude was a bundle of energy and fun during our session, but man, when I pointed my camera at him he definately knew how to melt my heart with his good looks!  These pictures are just a few of my favorites from our session together. 

Christmas Cuties | Bluffton Children’s Photographer

Monday, November 15th, 2010

I wrote in my previous post that one of the reasons why I love my job as a photographer is because I get to meet so many wonderful people.  Well, another reason why I love my job is because I get to see my favorite clients over and over again!  You might remember these beauties from a few months back when I photographed them at the park.  Yesterday I got some cute shots of them together for their Christmas card.  I was so excited when I arrived at their house and saw them all decked out in their sweaters and scarfs and hats!   They put me in the Christmas mood so now I am ready for snow!  Seriously, how cute are they-I want to bring them home with me!

The Kusik Family Beach Portraits | Hilton Head Family Photographer

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

One thing I love about my job is that I get to meet so many wonderful families!  The Kusik family was so nice and easy going, and how cute are these kids!  Dmitri and Anastasia loved playing on the beach in Hilton Head and were such troopers during the session!  Be on the lookout for the rest of your sneak peek!

The Harron Family Beach Portraits | Hilton Head Family Photographer

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

It was another beautiful fall day on the beach in Hilton Head-perfect for a photo session!  I love that it is still warm in November here in South Carolina!  These two little boys were so good during the photo session and as a reward afterwards they got to play in the ocean.  The water was freezing but they didn’t care, and were full of smiles while they splashed in the water.  Thanks Harron family for a fun session! 

The Chabot Family Beach Portraits | Hilton Head Family Photograhper

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Just wanted to share a few of my favorites from our session in Hilton Head with the Chabot family.   There was definately a fall chill in the air at the beach but the girls were great even though their little lips were turning the slightest shade of blue!  This was one of the sweetest families I have photographed and we really enjoyed getting to know them.  It was so nice meeting you guys! 

I absolutely love this picture!  Gemma was a bundle of energy and spunk, and loved having her daddy toss her up in the air!

Our Favorite Family | Bluffton Photographer

Monday, October 25th, 2010

Stef and I spent yesterday evening with the Theilings-they are our favorite family and the cutest family in town!  I am very partial to them though since I have captured so many of their special moments!  I photographed their maternity, newborn and now 6 month photos.  Grady is an absolute cutie and I couldn’t take my eyes off him during the photo shoot!  He has such a precious smile and boy does he have some big, beautiful  blue eyes.  I have also never seen a 6 month old smile so much-seriously he is gorgeous!  Here are a few of my favorites from our session!  Thanks guys for another fabulous session-it is always so much fun!

                                                   Look at those baby blues!

This shot cracks me up!  I could not stop laughing while I was editing this-his expression is so funny!

Two Beautiful Sisters | Bluffton Children’s Photographer

Friday, September 17th, 2010

I was so excited while photographing these two sisters because they were  simply adorable, and even more excited when I got home from the session and started proofing the pictures…………..almost every single one was beautiful!!!  The lighting was soft and warm, the girls were amazing, and they loved being in front of the camera.  To top it off, whenever I took their picture and told them they looked gorgeous, they would say “Thank you”, how sweet is that!  M. and R. you were by far the most polite kiddos I have ever photographed!  It was a perfect evening and I love how the setting sun created a warm glow on some of the pictures.  The last picture gives me goosebumps-the mom wanted a special picture of the girls by the flag as a tribute to their dad who is in the military.  The sun was just setting and I was able to capture this sweet silhouette of them with the beaming sunflare. 

Sand and Starfish | Bluffton Children’s Photographer

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

These two little boys were so fun to spend the evening with at the beach, and it was a beautiful evening for a photo shoot!  Can you believe the gorgeous eyes on them?  We were all covered with sand by the end, but it was so worth it because I got some really sweet shots of them!  Here is your sneak peek!

Fun at the Beach | Bluffton Children’s Photographer

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

I absolutely love the beach and I love photographing people there, especially children!  It was a beautiful evening at the beach with A.  The wind made it so breezy and cool, and  I got some really cute shots of her in the sand making a sandcastle by the dunes.  It was fun watching her play in the sand-it brought me back to making sandcastles with my sisters at the beach! 

Little Miss | Bluffton Children’s Photographer

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

I spent last night with my awesome friend C’s little girl and had some fun snapping a few shots of her-she is such a doll.  We played outside for a few minutes before the storm rolled in.  The lighting was so perfect-I love cloudy days!  The last shot cracks me up!
