I had the privilege of being at the top of one of our downtown steeples recently. It was a really pretty day, and although hot, there was a cool breeze up there. Here are some of the images as evening closed in on the Holy City.
Summer is not the ideal time for taking family portraits, but sometimes you just have to fit it into the schedule, and this is the only time that works. Even at 7pm, the sun is still high in the sky and the temperatures are close to 90 degrees in Charleston, never mind the humidity. All of that said, this family did great. The kids were engaged and cooperative, and Mom and Dad never lost their sense of humor.
Well, not technically (biologically) family, but we’ve known Jamie for 90% of his life, so he may as well be. After years of searching, he finally found his girl, also called Jayme, spelled differently but pronounced the same. It was an exciting weekend of re-connecting with friends and family, some of whom traveled a long way to be a part of the celebrations. Congrats Mr. & Mrs!
My client Jody is re-branding his business, creating a new website, etc. and needed some new headshots for his marketing plan. Don’t know where he found all these crazy shirts, but I believe his clients will get the message 🙂
This event was held at the Hanahan Amphitheater last weekend. A bunch of Christian rock groups from mostly Southeastern states entertained the public from 11am in the morning to 11pm that evening. Folks had also set up booths and tents offering merchandise and counseling/prayer, and there were also fun activities for the kids. Great family friendly stuff and everyone had a good time.
Sometimes, when the tide is slack and there is no breath of wind, the water so perfectly mirrors the sky that it’s hard to figure what is sky and what is water, what is physically before you and what is a mirror image. This was just one of those evenings.
Seven year old Torah stopped by the studio to get some photos taken the other day. Just love this spunky kid.
I had fun in this studio this afternoon with this little pageant princess. Some kids are just born to perform. I think she is one of them. Studio photos used to be the standard go-to for documenting families, especially kids as they grew and changed from year to year. I think we miss some of that in our world of smartphone cameras.
I photographed Sarah when she was pregnant with Jenna about 10 years ago. This lovely young lady is now nine years old. One of the things I most enjoy about portrait photography is the challenge of communicating personality and emotion. These images show so clearly the affection between these two. Thanks Sarah for choosing me through the years to document this journey.
It was a pleasure to have these two sisters in the studio the other day for some updated headshots. Gosh, I love what I do!
