In 2009 Kelly rounded all 7 of us up at Mission Burrito to hang out over dinner… since then it’s been a fun journey as friends.  We’ve shared our lives together over the last 2 years.  We’ve dug into the Bible, prayed, laughed, cried, shared, talked, hugged, and just been there for one another through everything that life has thrown our way.  I am so thankful that God put each of these 6 women in my life.  I haven’t been able to spend as much time with them as I would like but the time I have spent with them has been a blessing.  Kelly is now getting ready to head to Dallas for the next chapter in her life.  We wanted to do something special for Kelly and since two of us are photographers we thought what better than a photo session… I need to give credit to our other friend Kelly’s husband Beau for taking the group shots for us 🙂 thanks Beau for putting up with 7 women and three babies on a very HOT evening!!

Kelly I will miss you so much, but I am so thankful for you and our friendship!!  <3 you my sweet friend!!

Here’s a few shots from our friends session…

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 […]

For the last few years I’ve photographed Ballet Spartanburg’s performances of the Nutcracker.  It is an honor to capture these incredible students and professional dancers that share the stage for this family favorite in the heart of Spartanburg, SC.  Most years I capture the dress rehearsals, this past year due to a wedding in Charleston […]
