books & daisy…

Over the past few weeks I’ve acquired, but also a few friends and my mom have given me a whole stack of books to read over the next few weeks/months… which is awesome b/c I LOVE to read!! 🙂  I was actually was doing a little cleaning yesterday and came across the stack and b/c it’s quite a few and they aren’t just wimpy little 200 page books I thought I’d snap a few pictures.  I decided I’d use my beautiful blue chair to sit the books on both b/c I love the chair, but a lot of the books have bright covers.  I was taking the photos in our dinning room and I must of confused Daisy (I never step foot in the room unless I’m returning one of my photography chairs or dusting) b/c she came in and sat right in front of me.  Daisy NEVER sits still long enough to pose for pictures but she did and I couldn’t believe it.  So with my lens wide open I started shooting a few of her.  So that brings me to two of my favorite things… books and Daisy and I just happened to get both in the same place at the same time for a little spontaneous photo shoot…

Some of my favorite photographs from a wedding weekend are taken with everyone in khakis. I’ve been thinking about that lately. After almost twenty years of photographing weddings, I’ve learned that the moments my couples come back to years later are not always the ones you would expect.  The first look matters. The vows matter. […]

Rachel & Ben were married on an incredible fall weekend in the upstate of South Carolina.  The weekend started out with family and friends celebrating these two at the Greenville Country Club for the rehearsal dinner.  The included hugs, the most beautiful toasts, and Ben grabbing his guitar and playing/singing for guests.  That evening set […]
