annie…having a baby!

i met up with annie a couple weeks ago in downtown Charleston to document her official last week of pregnancy. Annie was up for anything even 9 months pregnant so it was a fun shoot! Annie and Jordan welcomed little Elizabeth two weeks ago. CONGRATS! Looking forward to meeting and photographing Elizabeth tomorrow!

the adventures of ada.

i have been sorely neglecting the posts for our pup, ada, but that does not mean there has been no photos taken.

ada’s first trip to the beach. you will absolutely not find her in the water. she is petrified of the ocean, and basically throws tantrums now whenever we walk on to the beach. we are still hoping she will grow out of it!

or the adventures of ada and jake…

the puppy teeth are all gone…

first camping trip. right before she took off through the trail…pretending to be good.

and…last week at the beach! she is now even more petrified of the beach and stayed near the dunes the whole time.

her almost six-month portrait—yes, i am a little ridiculous.

dina and tyler…engaged.

i have been seriously behind with the blog posting! goal is to now post at least once a week through the rest of the year! i met dina and tyler downtown last week for their engagement photos. we of course met outside my favorite bakery, baked . Looking forward to Dina and Tyler’s wedding at Middleton Place in April. The flowers will be most likely be in full bloom!

jeny and john…engaged!

I met Jeny and John a couple weeks ago in Old Mt. Pleasant. I was shocked that I have never been on the old Pitt Street bridge—such a gorgeous area. I am looking forward to bringing some bikes back to that area—that is when I get a bike! Looking forward to Jeny and John’s wedding in April on Folly Beach. Jeny is really crafty (she made her hair clip) so i know it will be fun.

kate is a senior.

i am still in shock that Kate is already a senior. i will preface this post by saying that I actually used to babysit for Kate…when she was really young! i was thrilled when her mom called to ask if I would take her senior portraits.

good luck kate. hoping you will make it to charleston for school!

joe is a senior.

i photographed joe a few weeks ago in my hometown, durham, nc, at his favorite spot, the golf course! i learned that i must brush up on my golf lingo!

good luck with your senior year joe!

preview- YOGA article.
