Lake Worth Children Photographer | Lil E
Eric & I took Evan to downtown Lake Worth for a lifestyle session. He brought his skateboard and bubbles and we were ready to rock. We started off by Island Water Sports, a local surf shop with great clothes btw, and then moved to the other end of downtown. He was a lot of fun to photograph and a great listener! It was 92 degrees in Lake Worth, by the end of the shoot we were all soaked in sweat and ready for some AC! But despite the mid day sun and horrible heat we managed to get some great shots and we will definitely be shooting lil E again!
Sneak Peaks:
Lauren & RJ:: Married! {Ballantyne Hotel}
Congrats to Lauren & RJ. They had a beautiful wedding at the Ballantyne Hotel in Charlotte, NC. It was the kind most girls can only dream of. The ceremony was right off the 18th hole; where you had a view of a fountain, the hotel and the green. Cocktails and appetizers were served following the ceremony while we got to play with the wedding party. Finally, the reception. A wonderful meal was served, family & friends danced and laughs were had by all. It wasn't the women that fought over the bouquet, it was the men that fought over the garter!
Overall, such a beautiful event and we are glad we could be a part of it. Again, congrats to you, Mr. & Mrs. RJ Waite. May you have many years of laughter, happiness and love.
Testing: 24-70mm f/2.8
Before meeting Alex for dinner tonight, Gavin and I met her in Greer at the Veterans Memorial Park to test out the new lens. I have to admit, I like the lens but not for what I was looking to do tonight. So back to the ol' 50 mm for the shoot and here are some images. Alex and I will, one day, arrange enough time to do an actual shoot. Todays only lasted 15 mins & we were some hungry girls!
I did manage to take some great pictures of the park, which I will post later. Check back in a few days for those and for pictures of tomorrows wedding in Charlotte, NC.
Good night!

Grunge/Rock (For those willing to do something a little less ordinary)
Maternity & Newborn (Still offering our fabulous special!)
Matt + Lisa:: Engaged! {Bahama's}
My brother and I planned a secret for the cruise to the Bahama's. He wanted to pop the question to his girlfriend, Lisa. So conveniently, I told her I wanted to add additional images to my 'couples portfolio' and we would be shooting some pictures on the beach. No big deal, right? Well, not until Matt got down on one knee. She said yes! It was pretty awesome to be there for the actual moment, photographing it for them so they can always remember it. Congrats to you, Matt & Lisa. Can't wait to do your Bridal Portraits, Lisa. And... Eric will be photographing their wedding, whenever it may be.
Bella’s photo shoot! {Lake Worth FL}
The Lake Worth Pier is reopened and the only one in the area, so I scheduled a shoot there. Bad idea. After going earlier in the day we had to go with plan b, the place was packed. There was no way a little girl would fare well against all those distractions. Plan B? .... We went to a small park that backed up against the inter-coastal and it worked out! While waiting for Rena + family I photographed some pigeons, the draw bridge opening and an older gentleman who broke my heart. He was sitting on a park bench, with a few bags by his side, and he talked to himself. He looked like an interesting man so I shot a few of him, which I'll post in my next blog.
Anyways! Here's a few from lil Bella's photo shoot!
Keep rockin’ & keep knockin’ {Palm Beach FL}
My first session while in Florida this weekend was tonight. Laura & I (and our three assistants lol) went to the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach (if you haven't heard of it, google it. It's beau-ti-ful) They had no problems with us using their billion dollar hotel as a background. We then moved to an old gothic style church that was right down the road and I can't wait to go back and shoot there again with my studio lights, it was exactly my style. Here's a few from Laura's session:
Greenville Photographer | Wee-One
Tiffany & Dustin had lil Elijah just in time to take advantage of our crazy, insane, unbelievable newborn special. (I over did it, didn't I?)
Eli is 5 days old today and beautiful. But, don't let the fact that he is 5 days old fool you. He picks up his head, opens his eyes big and bright and wiggles like a little worm. I got to use some new props that a friend knitted for us (If you're interested in purchasing please contact me and I will send you her way) and they were adorable on him.
If you're interested in taking part of our crazy, insane, unbelievable newborn special just send us a message and I'll give you all the details!
Dawson Cole{Newborn}
I met little Dawson at his moms baby shower last month, we got to view him in 4D before he made his grand entrance. But today I got to meet the little dude in person and he is gorgeous! Beautiful blue eyes, perfect skin and the cutest little fingers and toes. Mom, Crystal, wanted to do something fun and different for his photo shoot so we went with a more antique look and got the most amazing shot at the end when he finally fell asleep. Here's his very own slide show:
Selina {Downtown Greenville}
Selina wanted her portraits taken downtown Greenville so we took over the West End and found some great new locations. She was great to work with and beautiful (You hear me Selina? BEAUTIFUL! :) ) ... So easy to photograph and a pleasure to work with. I am looking forward to the next shoot when her boyfriend comes along for he fun!
