Justin Henson Signs for North Greenville

I met Justin and his family back in October when I did his Sr. Portraits. Justin not only is a
fireman and a drag racer, but an awesome athlete. Pitching for Landrum High School they brought home the 2007 State Championship trophy. His mom called me for signing day to come photograph this special event. I must say it was my first, and I was very excited to do so.
I wanted Justin and his family to be able to relax and enjoy the moment and let me worry about the pictures.
Justin will be taking his baseball skills to North Greenville College in 2009. I wish him the best and maybe I'll get over to photograph a game soon.
Congratulations Justin!!!

Sunday fall day with little miss M.

This little model in only 31/2. and was a joy to photograph. As we started the shoot we were having so much fun and I realized my camera didn't warn me there was no flash card. Whoops!
Thankfully I realized it early and we carried on.... After playing games and M. singing her favorite songs we captured lots of fun candid shots. I love seeing kids be kids and bringing out their own personality in their photographs. As her mom and dad looked on she became more comfortable and began smiling and being herself. After about an hour and a leaf fight our shoot ended with a song and a hug. As I left, I went to church and realized I was covered in leaves from head to toe, but that was ok! Thanks for a fun day!

Hannah

Oh My! What a fun, spontaneous and quick shoot. I met Hannah cheering at one of the local schools. After taking her Cheer pictures her mom contacted me to take a picture for the Grandparents\ for Christmas That sounded great, but then wanted it taken with the love of their lives Molly and oddie. Molly was very cooperative as Oddie was a ton of fun. He wanted to be adventurous and explore. I told Hannah to stay posed as mom and dad handled the dogs. Out of many shots we finally captured everyone looking at the camera. Misson accomplished. Being a dog lover I was totally in my element. Thanks for sharing your pooches.

Brooke

Sunday I spent about 3 hours with Brooke. A rising Senior full of fun as her youthful spirit shined through each photograph. With her country wear, we had the perfect setting around the rustic town of Reidville . We spent most of our shoot in the area , then moving on to downtown Duncan and ending up in the studio where we photographed Brooke in her Pageant dress from the Miss Byrnes Class Pageant which she is now serving as Miss Jr Class beauty. Her sweet dog arrived at the studio as we were finishing the shoot so I couldn't let the night end without a photograph of Brooke and the love of her life"Daytona". I had a great time with Brooke and enjoyed out chats in between photographs. She was a natural beauty and easy to capture that natural look. Thanks for a fun Sunday afternoon.

Justin and Hemi

Where do I begin to describe this Senior session. I met and photographed the most amazing guy today. Justin is a pitcher for Landrum high school, a fireman, works on a farm and drag races a 69 dodge dart. How he does it all and goes to school fascinated me. I learned about engines, racing, and got to visit www.HodgeRestoration.com. They restore old Chrysler cars. Next we visited the fire department where Justin is a fireman. I don't think I had ever been that close to a fire truck. I was hoping they would get a call so I could tag along and get some action shots of Justin in his gear putting his skills to work. I got to meet his Greman Shepard named Hemi. She was excited to get her picture made and pose well for the camera. I had a great time and felt like I was on a field trip rather than a photo shoot. It was very educational. I hope to go to one of Justin's races sometime and grab some action shots. Thanks for a great day!

The Parker Triplets

Once again I had a chance to photograph more of Dr. Nease and Higginbotham's patients for an office Poster. These three were fun and full of ideas at Happy Hollow park in Converse Heights. I am including a picture of the cat which was very relaxed and laid back, he didn't mind us at all. I enjoyed getting to know this crew. I have twins and can't imagine having 3 when they were babies. Thanks for a short, but successful photo shoot.

Hannah and Luke's Wedding

Another Knot has been tied, joining Luke and Hannah together as husband and wife. The ceremony was held at Poplar Springs Baptist Church. It was a simple, but elegant setting. The church was filled with friends and family. It was a beautiful service and reception. The two will make their home in Columbia. I am glad I was asked to photograph their wedding. I have known Hannah's family for quite a while. They are true friends and I'm glad to have been able to capture this special day with the people that mean the most to them. Good Luck and many blessings.
