There are three ‘go-to’ spots that I like to offer families and couples when we make photos together. I keep a list of photo location suggestions. However, these few places are public. They always provide great backdrops for picture making. A public park can make a super convenient spot to meet for capturing moments. Tip: […]

The Carolinas are filled with the sweetest stunning, natural sites, and there’s no shortage of sunflower fields. You can find sunflower fields in several counties during the summer months. York county has a hidden gem that I’m sharing as I have loved making photos in this secret field. I say ‘secret’ because although it’s public, […]

‘Mommy & Me’ photos of my sister and her little girl were precious. Mabry wanted to recreate a 1990s photo of her and her mom, and they had outfits nearly identical to the original photo moment. I love this idea and would definitely enjoy more photo sessions where we recreate decades old photo moments. I […]

I’ve absolutely enjoyed making beautiful photos in the eye catching rows of pink peach trees in South Carolina over the last few years! When they bloom, you know Spring is here, and Winter is finishing up. These peach blossoms are always dependent on the current weather in March that varies from year to year. Typically […]

Most of us really love that golden ‘glowy’ look when it comes to outdoor portraits, and for good reason! Great lighting makes for dreamier all around better photos. So, how do you make sure you get that when you schedule an outdoor photo shoot? It’s pretty simple: begin photos later in the evening as Spring […]

I absolutely loved this sweet maternity session in Baxter Village along the shopping strip. Shirley was beautiful in her blue velvet dress, and I enjoyed the photos we made together. What a great first session of the year!

I have so enjoyed photographing the awesome Fleming family since we relocated to Fort Mill, SC a handful of years ago. Our first session began with their dog, then they welcomed their first baby girl, and now they have their 2nd daughter. I’m grateful that I get to document loving growing families, and I’m blessed […]

This year’s local sunflowers were beautiful! Spring Farms had their first year of sunflowers in Fort Mill, and the community loved them. I’m blessed to have some great families to photograph in such a gorgeous golden setting

The Fort Mill, SC peach blossoms this year were lovely! I get so giddy when I see those pink buds start to bloom in the late Winter / early Spring. “If you’ve never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in Spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in […]

Well, the month of October flew by! That’s how I feel about this entire year of 2018! Before the pretty cotton fields were harvested, I’m glad we got to make a few sweet photos. As it’s called in the south, the “southern snow” has become a unique landmark to take pictures in. Cotton is such […]
