Whitney and Jeremiah

Whitney and Jeremiah were married June 21st at Messiah Lutheran Church and believe it or not we found it. We went early to make sure.

I have never seen a couple laugh so much. The song they danced to was about " My Best Friend" Their relationship seemed to be more than husband and wife, they are "Best Friends". I just loved watching them and snapping those sweet moments.

As I entered the reception room the air was filled with garlic and spices. The dinner spread was nothing shy of an Italian Buffet. Anything and everything along with many different kinds of cakes.

The DJ got the crowd going with oldie goldies. It was a great day! I enjoyed getting to know both families and Aunt Joyce. Joyce kept things moving. ( Great Job).

Thanks for having me on your special day and Whitney Keep smiling.

I wish you the BEST!!

Whitney's Bridal Portrait Session

Today is the day, Whitney will walk down the Isle and be joined with her man!
A few weeks ago we did Whitney's bridal portraits. I think she and her mom were thrown for a loop when I said jump in the car we're going to get some outside shots. We went to a nice garden, then proceeded to a local business that was closed, so we barrowed their iron gates and waterfall. It was so cute because as cars went by on Reidville Road Whitney got many honks and each time we would all wave hoping it wasn't the owners of the business. We were kind of sneaking around getting these great shots. The business keeps adding outdoor settings so its hard to resist not using it for portrait backdrops. Ok, that business happens to be http://www.dayspringliving.com/ They specialize in outdoor living areas. We had many laughs and poor Whitney endured the heat until I felt like we had enough shots. Jan and Whitney were GREAT sports. I can wait to photograph the wedding today.

PS: I'm so thankful for my new GPS and my sweet husband that took me on a trial run to the Church in Mauldin. I would of never found it on my own.

Whitney chose the top picture holding the rose for her Canvas which will be displayed at her reception.
Thanks for a fun Day!

The Layton Family

Recently I had the privilege to photograph the Layton Family. These pictures were a gift that had to be kept TOP secret for Ashley's mom, Tug. I go to Church with the Laytons, but didn't know them well until our session. It's amazing how just spending a little quality time with people how a relationship can build. Due to rain we had to shoot inside the studio. With 6 kids total you would think it would be chaos. These children were very well behaved and did just what we told them. It was a perfect session in spite of the bad weather. Next time we'll make it to the farm. I enjoyed getting to know you all better. Glad Tug loved her portraits.

PHOTO BY Kellie Conner

After a very busy Friday and Saturday doing photo sessions and a wedding oh and not to mention giving horse rides Saturday morning at Davidson Street Baptist Church Block Party. We were ready for some cold water and relaxation. We took off to Lake Greenwood Sunday Morning after Church. It was the perfect lake day. I have never been on a tube in my life. Growing up water skiing I just bypassed all the other lake adventures. A knee injury 2 years ago has cut out my skiing days for now, so I thought I would take on the tube. My husband drove the boat and kept the speed at a minimal of ?mph. I was so scared. My daughter left, got a BIG laugh when I made my way over the wake, YIKES!!!! Everyone in the boat was chit chatting while I was blasting through the water bouncing up and down and trying to hang on. They weren't the least bit concerned of my life!

I had a blast and will probably take up the sport. I may even go a little faster next trip out. Maybe my kids will now let me join their team of the "Lake Greenwood Professional Tubers Association".

The Paxton Wedding

Speigel Farms was the setting for Kyle and Leigh Paxton's elegant wedding. Due to another commitment I was asked if I could photograph this wedding for my friend Ashley Tumlin http://www.carolinashutterbug.com/ . Being a horse lover there was no question about it, I was in my element being among green grass, rolling hills and beautiful fencing, not to mention the barn that looked like something out of a fairy tale. What a privilege it was just to be a part of this joining of two sweet people in a beautiful setting. This family was a pleasure to work with.

The photography was a variety of sweet moments of the two of them kissing to being crazy and kicking up their heels. It was a fun day I will never forget. I loved the little red Corvette.

Can I barrow it sometime?????? Thanks Ashley and the Thaxtons for putting your trust in my work on their special day. Mary did a great job as a Second Camera and handling the golf cart. It all came together beautifully and we captured some treasured memories.

Thanks again and Best Wishes!

The most fun job in the world.

I am so blessed to have the most wonderful job in the world. I get to meet and work with people
like this amazing family. We spent a some time at Cleveland Park and just let them enjoy being together. They were not many posed shots in the session as I just stood back and let them have fun.
Annabrook was the best model ever. Her expressions stold the show. When catching candid shots like these the heat was not a Big issue even though it was steaming. Thanks Dana and Jeff for selecting me as your photographer. I had a great time getting to know you all better. Annabrook is on her way to being "America's next Top Model".
Your a GREAT Family!

Randi's Bridal Session

What a fun day. Randi got married this weekend so I finally got to share these shots of her Bridal session with you. She was a beautiful bride with lots of personality and expression. I drug her around from the studio to location shootings. We managed not to trash the dress along the way, unbelievable. Sherry, her mom was a life saver from getting her laced into the dress to being my assistant during the session. At the end we just got crazy, that's when the goofy shots took place. We stalled until the evening light was just right. We got just what we were after. Randi decided on the middle image for her canvas which was displayed at the reception along with some smaller prints. We had a great time and I thought her wedding was absolutley beautiful.
The wonderful music was played by Stephen Humphries ( 2007 National Hammered Dulcimer Champion ) and friend of Randi and Jeramey. Visit his My space page to hear his amazing talent. http://www.stephenhumphries.com/
Thanks for trusting me with your Bridal portraits and inviting me to the wedding.
