2010-11-08T17:55:00.000-08:00

Christina had contacted me about wanting some bridal portraits. She has been married for several months now, but its better late than never! We had a great time on our shoot, and she was a trooper considering it had rained for 2 straight days before this shoot. So needless to say everything was soaked! She did great though.. What a stunning bride!!

2010-04-20T07:34:00.000-07:00

Ahhhh, another sunrise shoot!! I love these!! I was so excited when this sweet family agreed to do it! Not many people are willing to wake up so early on their vacation and I cant say I blame them! But little miss Taylor was in a Dance Competition this weekend and this is about the only time we had to do it! We had a great time, its a beautiful time to be on the beach, its not too hot and there arent a lot of people around, which is great!! Here are just a few from The Summey Family!

Photography in North Myrtle Beach, SC

2010-03-09T04:34:00.000-08:00

Yes, what you see it TRUE! We had SNOW in North Myrtle Beach!! It wasn't just a dusting either, we had at least 4 inches in our yard! It snowed over night, so we woke up to a beautiful surprise! I drug my poor husband around town for 3 hours taking photos of everything! He was a trooper though! I couldn't pass this opportunity up, its been since 1989 since the beach has had a snow like this! Here are just a few images from around the beach... enjoy!!

The Worley Twins

2010-02-06T12:55:00.000-08:00

okay.. so its official, i am the worlds WORST blogger. I just find myself too busy?? But they do say the first step is admitting that you have a problem, so hopefully this is my road to being a better-blogger! Anyhow.. this shoot was WAY too cute not to blog, so i made myself take time out and just do it!! These boys were absolutely precious! I always love shooting newborns, but two... oh my, double the cuteness!! Hudson and Holden were absolutely perfect!! Here are a couple of quick peaks.....

Vanessa

2009-11-02T19:13:00.000-08:00

Keever Cutright Wedding

2009-08-26T19:07:00.001-07:00

First let me shamefully admit that I am EXTREMELY behind on my blogging!! Thankfully this summer has been swamped, unfortunately my blog is getting the neglect! But on a happier note, this is a wedding i was privileged to shoot of a great friend from back home. I must say this was one of the sweetest weddings I have ever photographed, they were so in love! And the Good Lord decided to set His seal of approval with a HUGE beautiful rainbow over the ocean right in front of us! I must say it was pretty amazing. Here are a few shots from that day!

The Bufkin Family

I had a shoot just the other day that I am in LOVE with! We did the cutest birthday shots of little Emma, as soon as I saw the pink converse tennis shoes, I knew I was in for a treat! Emma did a great job, and she was a trooper through all the rough terrain!! Happy Birthday Emma! Hope you enjoy them :)

Okay so I am waaaay behind on my blogs. So im going to try and update as much as i can today! Here is a shoot i did of Miss Anna-Austin, it was extremely cold outside that day, but she was a trooper...from the freezing wind to laying in the grass, she was up for it all! We got some great shots, and check out those beautiful baby blues!

our new addition!

2009-02-10T17:12:00.001-08:00

I just wanted to give you guys a peak of our newest addition to the Skidmore Family, his name is Charlie. At least we think its a "he". Although I am scared to death of rabbits, Trey thought this might be a good way to get over my fear. Hes a cutie, I just don't like it when their legs freak out when you pick them up.. WHOA! He might make his first big debut for some Easter portraits! So stay tuned.....

Lily Hope

2009-01-29T05:56:00.000-08:00

I had a great time photographing this new arrival, she was the tiniest thing ever! Only weighing 5 lbs. 12 oz. when she was born! I must say I think she has some potential modeling abilities, we photographed her for a good 30 minutes straight without hearing one little whimper! Thats rare! She also has the cutest big brother ever, Braydon. Its going to be hard to pick my favorites, so i will try to keep this short!

Birthday Girl!!

2009-01-26T13:39:00.000-08:00

This past week my precious baby girl lola, so i like to call her, celebrated her 1st birthday! I just had to post these photos of her from the first day we got her to her 1st birthday photo. It was quite the task getting her to sit there with her birthday hat on, but i promised a treat and that did the trick! I hope you enjoy them as much as i do! She always brings a smile to my face :)

I learned something new!!

2009-01-20T19:27:00.000-08:00

Okay, so i have set out on a mission to expand myself in the vast, never ending knowledge of photoshop. So tonight i made myself sit down and learn!! This is my very first frame that i created! Let me know what you think. Hopefully they will only improve as my creative juices keep flowing! Not so bad for my first try...

Snow Day!!

2009-01-20T17:12:00.000-08:00

Today i was so super excited that we had snow!! This day was very important, seeing as we NEVER have snow at the beach! So of course i had to explore and capture proof that it actually happened! Hardly any of it stuck, but i managed to find a few flakes on some bushes and palm tree leaves, and the beach, how ironic?

Daddys Little Girl

2009-01-18T12:38:00.001-08:00

The Bellamy Family

2008-11-23T21:31:00.000-08:00

My last shoot of the day today was of some friends of ours, the Bellamy's, Shaun, Corey and little Ella Grace. I had a lot of fun with these guys and had a very very hard time choosing just a few images to post! They had tons! I just have to say besides Ella Grace having the cutest name ever, she has the most beautiful blue eyes... daddy is going to have to beat the boys away with a stick!

Ella Grace had a hard time keep her shoes on so i thought this was appropriate!

this is one of my favs!

i just love those eyes!

Monday I had a chance to shoot The Boyer's Family. I had a great time with them and just fell in love with their cowboy theme! They all did so wonderful, and smiled on que...and I'm talking real smiles (that rarely happens)! I joked and told them that i didn't even have to sing to make them smile... which is a GOOD thing, trust me! Here is a quick sneak peak of their beautiful family...

The McCormick Family
