"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.

What To Wear | Hilton Head Family Photographer

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

I thought it would be fun and also helpful to my clients if I started a post on what to wear for sessions.  I know it is hard to know what will look nice in photographs and how to make colors work together, so I wanted to try to make it a little easier by posting an example.  I absolutely love the classic look of white/khaki/jeans for beach portraits, but if you are looking at having your family wear a little color, then it is very important to know how to coordinate the colors so that everyone will match.   If you notice in the example below, the little girls dress is patterned and all the other outfits have coordinating colors pulled from that one dress.  The color combinations and styles look fabulous together!  I am not advocating that you go out and buy these particular outfits, although if you see something you like the stores where they can be found are listed below.  I merely want to show how different clothing pieces can be pulled from your closets and put together in ways that make your family look great!   I will post more examples every couple of months, especially during the seasons.  Hopefully these examples will help!

XOXO,   Meredith

First Trip to the Beach | Hilton Head Family Photographer

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

We had a wonderful time photographing this beautiful family at the beach in Hilton Head on Sunday evening!   Their little peanut Zoe was such a cutie and one of the best 11 month olds I have ever photographed.  This was Zoe’s first trip to the beach, so it was very special to capture those new moments with her and her mom and dad.   Here are a few of my favorites from our session!  It was so nice meeting you guys-enjoy the rest of your vacation in Hilton Head!

A Beautiful Mother and Daughter | Bluffton Children’s Photographer

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

We met this gorgeous mother and daughter yesterday over at Palmetto Bluff for an early evening photo shoot.  We couldn’t have asked for better weather and lighting-it was just perfect!  Little Emerson took my breath away with her big light eyes, and her good looks, which she definitely gets from her mom!  Here is a sneak peek of some really sweet images of them.  Happy Mother’s Day Tiffany!

                                            This image is so precious!  I love the sweet look on mom’s face as she is hugging her little girl.

Easter Mini-Sessions at Palmetto Bluff | Bluffton Family Photographer

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

My favorite part about Easter when I was alittle girl always was, getting dressed up for church in my patent leather shoes, my frilly new dress, gloves and bonnet-yes, my sisters and I wore bonnets and gloves back then!  As I grew up, my favorite part became more about the chocolate bunnies then dressing up, but I have always loved Easter and the beginning of spring.  So, Stef and I were thrilled when Palmetto Bluff asked us to do Easter mini-sessions for their guests.  I loved seeing everyone dressed so nice and the children all excited about the candy in their Easter baskets.  When we arrived at Palmetto Bluff, there was an Easter egg hunt going on by the inn.  Seeing the children brought back so many memories of my sisters and I running around the yard giggling while searching for chocolate and candy filled eggs that my parents had hidden so well.

The families we photographed were fabulous and they had  the most beautiful children!  Here is a sneak peek of just some of the families from last weekend.  There are more to come that I will post soon.  Thank you to everyone who came out on Easter morning to have their pictures taken with us!

My Favorites of 2010! | Bluffton-Hilton Head Photographer

Saturday, December 18th, 2010

Around this time each year I always end up lying in bed one night reflecting back over the year, pondering what was and what could be.  Well, that was me last night!  I couldn’t sleep so I started thinking about how 2010 is almost over and the changes I would like to make in 2011.  I realized though that there aren’t too many changes I want to make because 2010 was pretty fabulous!  Stef and I have been truly blessed!  We had the most amazing  clients this year, and had so much fun photographing them all!  I couldn’t have asked for a better year and I can only imgine what is in store for us in 2011!  Thank you to all our clients who touched our lives in so many ways.  We are honored that you chose us to photograph your beautiful families and we look forward to seeing you all again!  I hope 2011 is filled with more brides, bellies and babies!

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.
