surprise bday gift for a dad…

A few weekends ago I got a message from Amanda saying that she wanted to have me do a little session with her two kids (whom are adorable!!), so that she could have a gift for her husband to unwrap on his birthday (that he didn’t actually know about).  So we met for a quick 30 minute session last Monday (thankfully the rain just barely held out long enough for us to get the session done).  I must say her youngest wanted nothing to do with me and my camera 🙂 and her oldest was all smiles.  Amanda was a good sport, b/c even though she wasn’t planning on being in but maybe a few photos, she ended up in the good majority!  Thank you Amanda for being a trooper and jumping in the photos, and I am sooo thankful that the downpour didn’t start till right as we got in our cars to go home.  Here are a few shots from the session…

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 […]
