Rian and Jionte {Charleston, SC Engagement}
Get ready for the LONGEST engagement session sneak peek I've EVER posted :) Once again this session just goes to prove how incredibly blessed I am to do what I love and have the clients I have. Rian emailed me a few weeks ago about doing their engagement photos and right off the bat I knew we were a great fit! So come to find out once we finally met face to face Jionte and I kind of knew each other! I think the first thing out of my mouth was "whoa, you look familiar!". Jionte is a musician and sometime last year we both played/sang together a few times at Seacoast church...I love it!
I just want to say that this couple not only makes my heart SO happy but they both inspire me so much. Their love for the Lord and for each other is a such blessing to experience. It's definitely written all over these photos and that is one of the reason I do what I do. Thank you both for letting me share this joyful time in your life, Jionte and Rian!

Kelly & Walter {Mepkin Abbey | Maternity}
Ive been so busy with weddings and engagement sessions lately I'm excited to shake things up a little and share something new! You may remember this sweet couple from their Baby Announcement session I did back in november 2012. Kelly is one of my closet friends and it was such a joy to be able to document this chapter in her and Walters life. We spent some time at Mepkin Abbey together right around sunset and I cant even begin to describe how beautiful that spot is. I was a little bummed that they completely mowed down their beautiful overgrown field, but we still found some good spots. Kelly & Walter are going to be welcoming little Perry into their life very soon. I know they both are just absolutely going to be the most wonderful parents. This sweet baby will be very blessed. Congratulations Kelly & Walter!
Jeremiah + Mindy {Charleston, SC}
So, obviously I'm not very diligent when it comes to keeping up this oh-so-interesting blog of mine, but I'm working on it... Its a new year with so many new and wonderful possibilities and Im resolving to not only share my latest and greatest, but to keep you interested as well! You probably recognize Jeremiah and Mindy from their wedding pictures I put up a few months ago. Jeremiah is one of my 9 brothers and sisters (yeah, NINE!) and Mindy is his new beautiful bride. Jeremiah is a musician/music producer/graphic designer, based out of Orlando, Fl and he owns Emissary Studios. While they were visiting Charleston this Christmas I got the opportunity to help out one of my other brothers, Seth, with a acoustic music video he was doing for Jeremiah. Seth is a videographer and owns Ivory and Iron. You can see the video here.
Since Jeremiah and Mindy never technically got an "engagement session", we had a fun impromptu session after the video shoot. With only about 30 minutes of daylight left we were rushing but I think they turned out so beautiful. There also just happened to be a few controlled brush fires in this gorgeous open field and we obviously HAD to take advantage of that.
DISCLAIMER: Dont try this at home!
I dont think I'll ever get tired of taking pictures of this sweet couple...Enjoy!
