I met up with Anna and Robert recently for a few announcement photos for their wedding coming up in September. I always like sessions like this because it’s a chance for us all to get to know each other and for the couple to get used to the camera! It can feel “awkward” if you...
I met up with Natalie and Shane earlier this year for fun engagement photos. We had so much fun I just knew this couple would have me laughing on the wedding day!
Their wedding was at Dunes West in Mount Pleasant. What a pretty spot! It is right next to water and the house is a...
Hi All!
So I’m really enjoying doing an faq section here. Keep your questions coming! To see older posts, just go the top for “categories” and find faq for photographers.
In this post I have questions that I’ve been asked more than a few times!
Q: How did you get into photography? Have you always done this?
A: That’s...
I got a call from Erin recently, inquiring about next april. I had the best time talking to her on the phone! I was so excited when she and Beau booked me. I met up with them before my wedding this past saturday to do an engagement session and to hang out and get to...
I just received an email from a gal named Kelly who is an oil painter. She wants to get into photography to “take photos that capture life and emotions.”
Thanks for writing Kelly!
Q: What photosoftware do you prefer?
A: I use Lightroom2 and Photoshop CS4. Lightroom is super intuitive, and is awesome for correcting skin tones, adding...
I have gotten behind on showing my friend Whitney’s progression! She’s almost there–Due next month. We have one more session scheduled and will include her hilarious hubby Mike in the next one. You’ll see him here at week 24.
These come from the lovely Isabelle:
Q:What do you find is the best way to change lenses quickly so that you don’t miss that perfect moment (with the perfect lens). Multiple cameras? Bags? Skillz?
A:I LOVE LOVE LOVE my shootsac. For the longest time I wouldn’t buy one because I thought it was trendy….Um, then I realized...
Hi all!!
I would first like to start this section with a “disclaimer,” and express that I will never claim to know it all. I think I received my first email from someone asking me to mentor them while I was only a year into this. I was kind of shocked and told them I was...
This is the last of their “series” of shoots we did while this couple was in town. I am posting a few favorites! You can really see their fun-loving personalties here! I love it.
Thanks again y’all for letting me capture these memories!
I love details at weddings! I usually always post them to share the style of the wedding but I decided to do a separate post for this wedding because there were so many! I always get to a wedding early, so I see just how much work goes into the decor, flowers, food. The behind...
I always think it’s so cool how people find me! Jamila’s friend DeAndra lives in Columbia, SC and knows my friend Melanie who is a planner there. She saw some of my work on Melanie’s blog, and told Jamila about me. I always say, word-of-mouth is the best thing. The people I have ended up...
I am really not sure why, but I have really been missing my mom this week. If you are new to my blog, my mom passed away last June from cancer. I know she is not in pain anymore, and I am so thankful for that! It doesn’t change the fact though that I lost...
Hi All!!
Since I have been shooting full time the past few years, I’ve received many emails with questions from other photographers. They’ve all been different…how I got started, what equipment I use, questions about my website, how I work with clients, how I run my business, etc. Sometimes though, I end up repeating myself and...
I really really wished I had brushed up on my french before this wedding! I did my best with “Bonjour! Je m’appelle Juliet” (Hello! My name is Juliet). And as I was taking photos saying “un, deux, trois!” (one two three!).
The handsome groom Jerome was french and his bride Ashley is gorgeous as you have seen...
Chris and Sarah are both super musical people, so when I found out they were planning “secret surprises” for each other on the wedding day — one being songs and playing instruments –i was excited! I love music and I wanted to see what they were going to do! Turns out, Sarah was going to...
