Greenville Photographer | Michelle {Mountain View}
At the risk of losing fingers & toes this afternoon Michelle and I headed to a fantastic field that I have been eye balling for weeks. The wind was horrendous and made it a hit and run photo shoot. If I had to guess, it was below 0 but that's not an educated guess. :)
What I love about this field is that it's raised so all you see in the background are the mountains, the sky, and the trees. Foreground there are huge bales of hay that make it very country-esk. If it wasn't for the below 0 weather, this would have been an amazing shoot.
After thawing in the car we moved on to a local peach orchard to play with some sun techniques.
Thanks to Michelle for being an amazing sport and despite the sub arctic temperatures you did a great job!
Greenville Boudoir Photographer | (Mystery)Lady In Black {Sneak Peak}
Anyone that knows me knows I am extremely eager to post all my images to my site and Facebook right away! I love for my clients and their friends & families to see them asap. In general, Boudoir rarely gets posted on my site because it is an intimate session and majority of my clients like for their images to stay private. But when I get a client who doesn't mind the images being posted AND I have to wait to post them... oh man, that kills me!
The following lady is giving this special gift to her husband for Christmas (lucky man!) but with the use of creative lighting I was able to disguise her slightly and came out with this awesome speak peak. Because this is a gift, the rest of her images will be kept private so he gets to see them first! More to come after Christmas!
Spartanburg Family Photographer | Wes, Stef & Hunter
This family scores big with me. First off they're very good friends of mine and second they truly know the value of capturing special stages in their lives together. This is the third session I've had with them in the last year and each time I see lil Hunter he terrorizes me more and more! Capturing your little ones as they grow up is so important, because before you know it you're sending them to college!
Milliken is one of my favorite places to shoot at, no matter how many times you go there it's never the same. This time of year is my favorite, the tree's are beautiful and add a great pop of color. It's also very popular with my clients, and you can see why!
Merry Christmas to a wonderful family! I love you guys :) <3
Greenville Photographer | Tim, Becky, Logan & Lucas
Big Tuna & family came out to Greenville today to take part in my holiday special! (You probably want to know why I just called him Big Tuna, right? Tim & Becky are divers and Tim is on the dive team for Spartanburg. Does it make sense now?) Their adorable little men were so much fun to work with. Logan, the red head, and Lucas, the blonde, will definitely be heart breakers when they get older!
Becky & Tim chose the Rock Garden in downtown Greenville for todays session. It's been a while since I've shot down there and WOW for a Friday afternoon it was packed! There were two other photographers there and a few families just hanging out. It is such a beautiful area and very relaxing. The boys played bubbles, rode their bikes and played some foot ball with their dad.
My fav from the session was the reverse choke hold, as Logan called it. I love kids, they're so awesome to work with.
Greenville Family Photographer | Gavins Holiday Portraits
That's my baby! This is his 7th Christmas and I just can't get over how big he is. Even compared to his holiday portraits from last year. Reason #1 why photographs are so important! *Aaahemmm!*
We headed up Hwy 14 in Greer for his session today. I had to bribe him with candy to get him to do it. You think he's had enough already? I mean... it's not like I take THAT many pictures of him. I've never had to bribe him before! He's always been a camera hog! Does this mean I can't kiss him in public anymore, or call him "my baby" in front of his friends? No! It better not!
Spartanburg Photographer | Crazy, sexy, beautiful…{Milliken}
That's it... I've made up my mind. I'm moving to Alaska! This heat will be the death of me! Today wasn't even in the 90's and it was so sticky out Tarah and I both were glistening.
Anyways.
Tarah is a beautiful and artsy 19 year old (almost 20!). She's originally from Canada so that makes her my first foreign client! (ha.... if you call that foreign) She's in school to be a graphic designer and she has also taken a few photography courses. Oh and boys... she's single. :o)
I've driven by this great graffiti wall several times over the last year and finally had a client that I knew would be perfect for it. So off to Spartanburg we went. The park was packed so after a few shots we moved to an open field near by. Tarah was a great sport and made posing look effortless. Despite the humidity, the gnats and the sun glaring down on us we managed to rock this shoot.
Sneak Peaks!
Weekend Overview
Whew! What a weekend. When we weren't shooting we were eating, sleeping or editing. But I have to admit I loved every second of it. We had zero cancellations and after seeing the images from each session I am so happy for that!
All my sneak peaks are posted on the blog and facebook! Go on over to Eric's blog and check for his images from the sessions. Thanks again to Eric for being a trooper; even though he wanted to be in Alaska all weekend we did our job and our clients are very happy. (The heat was BAD!)
We've received two testimonials back so far, here's what they're saying....
"Amy and I could not be happier with the way the shots came out. Jenn and Eric definitely captured the 'timeless' feeling that we were looking for. Amy and I tend to be pretty photogenic as it is, but shooting with Jenn and Eric really brought our personalities out and it is definitely portrayed in the pictures. During the shoot Amy and I were made to feel very comfortable and natural. We were definitely given just the right amount of direction to capture that playful nature that both Amy and I have in our daily lives. The end result came out far better than I could have imagined. Amy and I could not be happier with the final result."-- Danny + Amy
"Jenn and Eric met up with Evan and I, behind Island water sports in downtown Lake worth. I loved how well they communicated with Evan, and he had alot of fun posing for the camera. It was brutally hot outside so I was stoked that they got a bunch of shots in less than an hour. What I loved the most is that Jenn didn't hesitate to get down in the dirt to get the shots she wanted. And the best part is every single picture looks amazing. Thanks again!"-- Melinda
A few of my weekend fav's:
Danny + Amy:: Engaged! {Atlantic Ave}
Tonight we met with a wonderful couple, Danny & Amy. They've recently become engaged while on a trip to Orlando, Florida. They're such a beautiful couple; you can feel the love they have for each other by just being around them.
We started the session on train tracks and after a quick outfit change we headed downtown Delray Beach to Atlantic Ave, one of their favorite places to hang out. Eric and I could have, and would have, shot Danny & Amy all night if the sun would have stayed up. There are so many great locations and unique ideas we had to put on hold for now, but we also got a lot of great shots tonight. (We even took a short break for a few skating shots :) ) Danny and Amy congratulations on your engagement and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey. You compliment each other well and it's nice to see Danny so happy ;)
Now it's time for the sneak peaks!
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:
Brook + Mike:: Married! {Poinciana Country Club}
Brook + Mike were joined in marriage tonight! The wedding took place at a Country Club in Lake Worth, FL where Brooks grandparents live. Congrats and may you share many years of love and happiness. Here are the sneak peaks, more to come over the next several weeks:
