"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!

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!

Dana and Mike Get Married! | Bluffton Wedding Photographer

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

Our fabulous friends Dana and Mike were married this weekend and we loved sharing their special day with them!  Dana looked absolutely gorgeous and of course Mike looked so handsome!  Their ceremony and reception was held at Hampton Hall and everything was breathtaking!  I loved photographing all the little details of the day-especially since I know first hand how much time and attention Dana put into making everything perfect!  She put together this beautiful candy display in the reception hall and I literally felt like a kid in a candy store when I saw it and went to town photographing everything!  We love you both and wish you all the wonderful blessings marriage brings!

Here is my handsome hubby enjoying Dana and Mike’s signature drink-a yummy Lemon Drop Martini!
