Greenville Maternity Photography | Waiting on baby {Jess + Roger}
I just love this family. Jessica has been an amazing friend to me over the last few years and I've had the pleasure of photographing their growing family through different stages in their lives. Baby Gracie is ready to make her arrival and will add to the estrogen over load that poor Roger is having to deal with.... LOL! Jess, Mykaylee, Annie, and Gracie will rule the house ;)
Jess is on bed rest due to blood pressure complications, so we took it easy for this session. We were lucky enough to stay close to their home and shot this session next door on their neighbors land. The goats tried to get their 15 minutes of fame, but I photoshopped them out haha.

Greenville Maternity Photographer | Waiting on baby {Jami + Terry}
Terry purchased a gift certificate for Jami's birthday back in February and she was chomping at the bit to be able to use it! Because I wasn't photographing in March or April we had to wait until May, but the pictures turned out awesome even though we were pushing the envelope on time! 32 weeks pregnant, can you believe it?! What a beautiful pregnant momma!
Terry's family has land in Inman that we decided to use for the session. Aside from the 70% humidity, the 40% chance of rain, and the vicious mosquitoes that were attacking me it was the perfect location! It had a walking path that was covered by bright green tree's, a beautiful pond, and tall grass (which is quickly becoming one of my "must haves" for location scouting). Across the street there was a train track, and I couldn't resist laying her down on the tracks. Controversy? Yes! But that's what makes the picture's so much different than the rest!
Terry, Jami, Kenzie (and Thailon): thank you for letting me be a part of your lives. I hope you have an easy delivery and I can't wait to meet that baby boy!
(PS, hair and make up was done by the wonderful Katie Cotton)
Greenville Photographer | {Prom 2011} Dylan + Faith
There's something about young love that is so pure and sweet. I met Dylan + Faith downtown Greenville at Cleveland Park for their 2011 junior prom portraits. They are such a sweet couple. Dylans mom, Lori, did an awesome job raising such a respectful and generous young man. Dylan and Faith were beautiful to photograph and I hope they had a wonderful junior prom! I
Greenville Newborn Photographer | Sweet Baby Ella
I met this adorable little thang a few weeks ago when she was just 1.5 weeks old! She refused to sleep during the session but cooperated nonetheless! Babies are like free therapy; they make all your problems disappear and make everything around you happy! I love babies! I have baby fever.... I always get baby fever when I photograph a newbie. It's puppy love!
I've started a new system in regards to displaying sneak peaks and blog posts. Before I would post them immediately after the session but after a ton of research and testing it out with this session, I've decided to delay the sneak peaks until I've had the opportunity to meet with my clients for their private viewing. That way they get to see the pictures first, and the amount of excitement and joy in these parents eyes proved that this is a better way to go!
Now for the baby pictures!
Greenville Boudoir Photographer | Valentines Day Sneak Peaks {Part 3}
Wow, what a marathon! 10 girls in three days and two states! Six new ladies that were a pleasure to meet and work with and four return clients! What more could I possibly ask for?? The transformation of each woman makes this session so incredibly special and unique. There will be some very lucky and happy men come February 14th!
Yesterday was the last of the Valentines Day marathon's for 2011 but don't be discouraged. If you'd like to book a private boudoir session you can hit the 'contact' button above or email shootme@mirroredimages.net
I had five wonderful ladies take part in todays sessions. Hair and make up was done by Katie Cotton and in a matter of five hours we were able to do full hair & make up and a session for five ladies. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed working with so many fun and beautiful women.
And now for the Sneak peaks.... {thank you to the three women who gave me free range to post any image of theirs I wanted! It helps other women who are 'photographer' shopping!}
Palm Beach Photographer | North East Athletic Promotional Shoot
Doug E. Fresh! No, I'm kidding. Doug Rotondi is the owner and personal trainer for North East Athletic which was started about 2 years ago. Since starting his company Doug has developed strong working relationships with his clients and he is looking to expand his business and accept additional clients. The goal of our session was to obtain images he can utilize on his company web site (which is under construction) to show the facility he trains out of and give the ladies something to look at! Doug also trains from several local gyms, so if you're thinking to yourself "I already belong to a gym" you may be missing out! Contact Doug and find out if he provides services to your gym!
ps- thanks for making me feel short Doug. I am usually taller than my clients and it was an honor to stand on steps to photograph you ;)

West Palm Boudoir Photographer | Valentines Day Sneak Peaks {part two}
Again with the short and sweet blogs. I promise to be more entertaining and witty once I have some sleep.
I photographed these beautiful ladies on Sunday for the WPB Valentines Day Special. It's amazing what the finished product will do for a gals self esteem. They turned this shoot out and made modeling look like a walk in the park. I gave them both very little direction and only as needed.
My beautiful friend Michelle (the pierced goddess ;) ) was kind enough to host me during my visit to Florida and I thank you for your hospitality!
(I have one last date scheduled for a multi client booking(aka discount) - Jan 30th in Greenville, SC. Click here for the info. If you are interested in booking a boudoir session and can't attend this date please email me for rates, I am available to shoot in Palm Beach Florida in March {dates TBD}.)
Here's a few to get your mouths watering....
Greenville Boudoir Photographer | Valentines Day Sneak Peaks {part one}
My three beautiful ladies rocked today's shoot. They showed up ready to take some amazing, empowering, and sexy photographs. What more could a man want? Additional images coming after Valentines Day...
Hair and make up was done by Katie Cotton -- amazing work and amazing in front of the camera also!
At the request of a few ladies I am hosting an additional boudoir shoot in time for Valentines Day. January 30th will be the last time this year I offer this special! Space is limited. Click here for info on the special.
As much as I love blogging, I have to keep tonights blog short and sweet. There's a snow storm brewing and en route to the Upstate which means I need my rest for work in the morning.
Good night and I hope everyone stays warm and safe!
Greenville SC Boudoir Photographer | A steamy Christmas present
A few weeks back I had the pleasure of meeting and working with the lovely lady you see below. She has a full time career and is a mother of three. Like most women, she doesn't get the chance to do things for herself often. But for this special occasion she made the leap! Yep, that's right... she got over her fears and did something wonderful for herself and her husband. She got her hair and make up done by my lovely artist, Leslie, and she had a matching mani/pedi just before the session. So, while the pictures were for him... she totally loved the glam.
With her permission, I am respectfully posting the images below. I don't usually get permission from my boudoir ladies to share their images, so I'm super excited about sharing these. They're simple, elegant and classy. Her husband is going to DROOL when he see's her prints!!
