"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.

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!

One Happy Family | Hilton Head Family Photographer

I just can not say enough good things about this family!   They were sweet, friendly, gorgeous, and so much fun to photograph!  The session went by in the blink of an eye, and at the end I was wishing the sun wasn’t setting so we could keep on shooting.  Stef and I really enjoyed meeting them and spending time with their little ones.   The kiddos did fabulous during the session, and I love all the candid and sweet images we were able to capture of them!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

What to Wear September | Hilton Head-Bluffton Photographer

Saturday, September 17th, 2011

The past couple days here have felt fabulous and is a reminder that Fall is right around the corner! I love fall; snuggling up in a cozy sweater, chilly walks on the beach, the fresh smell of newly fallen leaves, and of course-Halloween! Can you tell I am excited that the hot days of summer are behind us? Here is another installment of “What to Wear” fall edition. These clothing options would look great for a family photo session on the beach or at one of the beautiful parks in Hilton Head!

This session was a whirlwind of fun, laughter, and lots of running and splashing in the waves!  With 5 little boys between the ages of 7 and 1, Stef and I expected nothing less!  We had  a great time with this beautiful family and enjoyed watching their little ones have a blast at the beach!

So Much Love | Hilton Head Family Photographer

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

I think the best part about our session with this beautiful family (besides the gorgeous lighting) was witnessing just how much these parents adore their little one.  It was so sweet to see them look at him with such love in their eyes and watch the three of them interact together!  Little Tyler was a sweetie and absolutely perfect during our session!  Here are a few of my favorites!

Sun Kissed | Hilton Head Family Photographer

Saturday, August 13th, 2011

I am so happy the weather finally cleared on Wednesday so we could do a photo session with this fabulous family!  We had tried to have it on Monday but the thunder, lightening and black clouds kept us off the beach!   Wednesday turned out to be a beautiful evening by the ocean, with a nice breeze and soft setting sun!  I love the sun kissed look the sun gave these images!   The evening was also special because Deb and Pat celebrated their 37th anniversary!  Congratulations-you are a beautiful couple!  

 

Congratulations on 37 years of marriage!
