Palm Beach Photographer | Christmas Mini Sessions Are Here!
Tight budget this year? Don't know what to get for everyone or even if you have the time to shop? I have the perfect solution! Christmas Mini's have quickly become a popular option for families for two reasons.
- It's a less expensive way to get Holiday family pictures and gives YOU the opportunity to see just how good you can look, without the large investment. That's right... no more "I photograph horribly, I hate myself in pictures."
- It's a gift that your family and friends will treasure for ever and ever.
Times available for October 23rd:
6:00pm, 6:30pm, 7:00pm, 7:30pm
Times available for November 5th:
8:00am, 8:30am, 9:00am, 9:30am, 10:00am
Book your session today and don't miss out!

Greenville Maternity Photographer | Sarah + Danny {Awaiting Baby}
Sarah was referred to me by a family I had previously photographed and by a former co-worker. {Thanks Amy and Tiffany!} She and her husband, Danny, booked a maternity session which worked out perfectly because I was set to be in town right around the 7 month mark.
We met at Rockhouse Vineyards in Tryon, NC. Big thanks to the staff there for allowing us to use their property. I had spoke with the owner, Lee, in the past about doing other sessions there and he's just awesome about it. This was the first time I've actually done a session there. If you're looking for a place to get married, def check out their web site, it's beautiful there. www.rochhousevineyards.com I'm not a wine drinker, but my mom is going to make a trip there to taste and buy, but I hear its tasty!
Sarah and Danny are expecting a lil boy in the beginning of November. Caleb has been giving his momma a hard time already. Bless her heart, she's had a rough pregnancy but you'd never know because she's so beautiful and has the pregnancy glow! By the way Sarah, my mom said you're beautiful and you wear pregnancy well :) . I hope to be in town when Caleb makes his arrival, I may make a trip just for him if he plays his cards right and gives his mom a break!
Thank you for including me in your journey to parenthood <3 <3
Greenville Wedding Photographer | Amie + Lukas {Married!}
I flew into Greenville this weekend for Amie and Lukas' wedding. Their wedding was beautiful, which made the crazy journey to Greenville worth it. I also got to spend time with my parents so that was a ++++.
The couple had their ceremony and reception at Twigs in Greenville. It gives me goose bumps when I see a couple love each other as much as this one does. As Lukas waited for Amie to walk down the isle he was full of emotions. When Amie started her walk she was also overcome with emotions. It was beautiful to see how much love they had for each other! Twigs set the ceremony and reception beautifully with their color scheme of green, gray, and white. The toasts at the reception were hilarious and very creative. Lukas and Amie have wonderful friends and family that truly love them and value their friendship.
Christy from Christy Miller Photography second shot with me and we had a great time, as always. I love that lady <3. Davey from Davey Morgan Photography came through to work my photobooth. Ah it was fun! We played in the booth and got a few shots of our team. Photobooths are becoming very popular and are a great way to get fun and unique shots of your guests. No alcohol needed! ;)
{My photobooth is included with my "Gotta Have It" package and is offered as an add-on with every wedding collection. I also rent it out for weddings I am not photographing}
To Mr. & Mrs. Lukas + Amie Hopper:
It was a pleasure photographing your engagement and your wedding. I am thankful that you chose me to document the beginning of your lives together. May you have years of happiness, good health, and above all love.
Palm Beach Maternity Photographer | Allyson + David {Awaiting Baby}
So I got an email from a lovely lady asking about maternity pictures, she booked me and after she found me on facebook I realized we went to middle school together. Dumb me.... she knew this the whole time but I was pretty stoked that she found me!
Allyson and David are high school lovers, they married, and are expecting their first baby in a few short months. David has been riding BMX for over 15 years so we took this session to the track, literally. :) We were able to get the Okeeheelee BMX track all to ourselves and then moved to the other side of the lake for a few more shots before the rain rolled in.
Allyson and David purchased my belly to baby duo so be on the look out for little David's arrival. Until then, check out the sneak peaks!!
Palm Beach Photographer | What's the difference?
A few of the most common questions I get are:
- Do you use flash?
- Do you airbrush?
- How much editing do you do?
- How long does it take to get my pictures?
Delray Beach FL Wedding Photographer | Mimi + Josue {Engaged}
Mimi was referred to me, through the wonderful word of mouth system. Their wedding is 11/11/11 here in Palm Beach County and it's going to be a fun wedding, for sure. This couple is super laid back, easy to get along with, and most important - so in l.o.v.e. I caught so many candid shots of Josue pushing Mimi's hair out of her face, or staring into her eyes. Sounds corny, but I swear it wasn't! They're so sweet together. We chose to photograph their session in the Morikami Gardens in Delray Beach. Such a beautiful place, peaceful, and full of color. We didn't make it far into the gardens because the heat was kickin' our tails, but we did get some great shots of them being in love :)
We went with a Chic/Geek theme which I thought was perfect because Josue is a gamer and into comic books and Mimi loves her geek! So after a few fun themed shots we moved on to the more romantic, typical e-session shots. I think they rocked it, they looked hot and of course in love! Oh and her lashes, for real... I pay $5.99 a set to get lashes like that! So jealous....
Captiva Island Photographer | Sanibel/Captiva Sunset
Two of my favorites and I headed west for the weekend, to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. We stayed on Ft Myers Island in a great resort that was right on the beach, had an awesome Tiki bar, and a very relaxing feel. Saturday we made the short drive to Sanibel and Captiva Islands for the sunset and it was worth it. So beautiful! I would love to extend my wedding photography services to destination weddings at all three islands, I saw some amazing spots that a beautiful bride would look amazing in front of.
Here's a sunset picture I took....I shot on the low side of the exposure scale just to get all the beautiful low lights of the sky. I've never watched the sun set on the west coast before, and I will for sure do it again. There were about 40 people on the beach and as it set everyone got quiet and just watched the beauty. I loved it :)
Not that I have any qualification to review/critique local attractions but here's what the three of us felt:
Outrigger Beach Resort: very friendly staff, beautiful water front location, slightly older style but fit in with the rest of the island.
Zushi Zushi: A sushi restaurant on the "strip" and delicious. Even my friend who doesn't like sushi found something she could eat there. We actually wen't twice while there.
Alligators Tails & Ales: A sports bar with amazing burgers that we hit up after our trip to Sanibel. Yummy!
Great trip, next time we'll stay longer!

Greenville Family Photographer | The Gang's All Here
Well, I'm sad to say it but this was my last photo shoot in Greenville until September. Between packing breaks I snuck away with some great folks for their family portraits. Christan headed up my fundraiser a few months ago and I am forever grateful to her and the others who helped. They are a wonderful group and taking a few photographs is the least I can do to show my thanks.
I met Christan, Justin, Samantha, Hailey, and lil Reece this evening in downtown Greer. OMG it was SO hot. The three kids were insanely well behaved, kudos to mom for that. I think they were the best behaved I've ever photographed. We shot for about 45 min's before the sweat started showing up and the bugs were flying around. Poor Reece, I have a funny shot of him trying to swat the bugs away and he was getting so aggravated! I'll save that for the end of this post, it's great haha.
I'm glad I could set aside some time for these guys, and I'm happy I could repay Christans kindness with a few images that she can love and cherish for ever <3
And here's my funny one of Reece!!!
