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!

There are certain images WE are looking for and offering discounts to those interested in shooting the following:
Trash the dress (Prom dress, brides maid dress, wedding gown, etc)
Boudoir with a twist (Outdoor and indoor... you'd be surprised what we can come up with)
Grunge/Rock (For those willing to do something a little less ordinary)
Maternity & Newborn (Still offering our fabulous special!)
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:
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!
Eli:: Newborn! {Greenville SC}
As most of you know, Tiffany and her family have been with me since I started shooting again. Today we had a maternity session to capture the *end* of her pregnancy with little Eli. I had hoped to provide them with some amazing images but ... the sun and the shadows weren't on my side. It happens when you can only shoot mid day, Tiffany! ;) It's okay, we'll do another one if he'll hold out a few more days!
Trash The Dress… Military Style!
In November 09 I went with a group to the Marine Ball in Charlotte, NC and the idea of a Marine style trash the dress was discussed. We headed out to Campbells Covered Bridge and shot away... it was 35 degrees outside and unfortunately it cut our trash the dress session short but after a quick outfit change we were ready to go for round two. Here's a few from the session:
They Got Nothin’ On You, Baby…
Lisa spent 5 years modeling but decided to put it to rest when she had her lil girl two years ago. Today was just as much of a treat to her as it was to myself. She is a beautiful, strong, single mother and I hope that I was able to bring her strength to these images.
