Her grandfather was in the military when he married her grandmother.  He was dressed in his blues, she had a simple white dress — those pictures have stood the test of time, and have stood out in Katie’s mind from childhood.  When Katie and Cody asked me to photograph their wedding, I was so honored […]

This day was nothing short of romantic + relaxing, with a subtle wintery/Christmas vibe.  Wine colored dresses, twinkle lights, the white washed buildings of Loblolly Rise Plantation, drapery blowing lightly in the breeze, candlesticks in greenery and the moderate temperatures created such a welcoming environment for their guests.  Working with Katherine and Luke was so […]

Ya’ll, it was forecast to rain ALL weekend — thunderstorm, not just rain.  But burying the bourbon sure worked on this occasion — it flooded the night before, but when dawn broke, the clouds halted their rain and let the day go on as planned!  Shooting this wedding was an extra special moment for me, […]

Between the ages 0-5, most children have their photo professionally taken at least once per year because they grow so quickly and their parents are aching to freeze their fleeting babyhood.  But between the ages of 5-18, the sessions get farther and farther apart.  The child may get an individual shot at a family session, […]

Brooke + Tyler wanted an engagement session in a similar season to their upcoming December wedding.  Something about the air and the light during the winter season makes me happy — the air is so much clearer and the rays of sun so much more powerful somehow… in either case, it was a gorgeous day […]

Florida’s mild winter weather made for a perfect season to wed!  Sage + Arron’s Tallahassee country club wedding at the Golden Eagle clubhouse was a perfect situation.  Their brunch wedding was such a perfect way to start off the new year!  I adored working with these two — their sweetness and thoughtfulness towards each other […]

Jaycee and Stephen wanted to start their engagement session at Jaycee’s adorable cottage.  It’s the place where they had their first date (a group of friends, including Stephen, came over just weeks after Jaycee moved in!), and the place where he popped the question!  These two are nothing short of sweet, so thoughtful towards each […]

Every year my Senior Model Team members are given the opportunity to be involved in exclusive themed shoots.  This year’s “edgy” shoot was only selected by sweet Taylor.  When I found out that she was the only one that would be participating, I began to brainstorm ideas that would personalize this session to her specific […]

Everything about this session is #goals.  I know that sounds really “millennial” of me, but let me explain.  This bride-to-be was one of my students, who turned into one of my pre-SMT seniors, who felt comfortable (and in love) enough with her senior session experience to ask me to photograph her wedding this upcoming spring.  […]

Annie may be the sweetest girl on the planet… and also one of the most beautiful!  This girl personifies the term “southern belle” and I was so glad when she picked Pebble Hill Plantation as her senior session location!  Ivy covered brick walls, oak lined paths, Antebellum era buildings and gardens; so many options to […]
