Family portraits at the lake

I had the privilege of taking the 1st official "Family Shot" of this great group! Thanksgiving evening was the only time that they all would be together, so I gladly agreed to capture these beauties! It was late & I worried about the darkness setting in, but you can see how God had his hand in this photo shoot! Lake Waccamaw, in the background, almost looks like a fake backdrop, but it's truly not. This was a great shoot & a wonderful family!!!

We took several shots of them looking over the water, but it's really hard to get a "natural" shot of a big group without someone moving. Funnily enough, this was my favorite, and my flash didn't even go off! I thought it would be ruined by the darkness, but I love it!!

November Madi

These are the latest of my little girl, Madison. She sure is growing up. Tell me what you think!

Playful Tori!!

This is my niece, Tori. She usually doesn't like having her pictures taken, but as you can see, she had a ball with her Aunt Alisha! She had such a good time that it ended up being an all-nighter! And, of course, we couldn't leave out her sister, Harley, or my Madi. Aren't they just beautiful?

Sunset at the beach....

My family & I went on vacation to Myrtle Beach a few weeks ago. While I was there, I went ahead & booked a few photo shoots!! Brother & sister, "A" & "A", had so much fun playing in the sand & water. They also did a great job of posing for me! It was right at sunset, and when it quickly got dark, my pictures began to look "grainy". Try to look over that, Mommy "C", & enjoy!! They did great!!

"The Twins"

Meet my twin nephews, Logan & Avery. Aren't they just the cutest? They're 4 years old & it shows! When they get together with my 4 year old, it can get pretty wild! Still, I am always happy to see them.

This little man is Logan. He looks just like my brother!

Logan liked Drake's guitar, for a little while at least!!

Meet Mr. Avery. He is as cute as a button. He look like his Mom.

Avery took right to Drake's tractor!! He was so enthused, he barely took a second to glance at me for the portrait. Shutter speed wasn't quick enough for this little one!! This was another of my "scenes" ideas. Cute, right? Awwwww!!! He was actually smiling at me!!! :-) Then he quickly looked away. :-( Oh well. It's still cute. My brother, Justin, with Logan.

Justin with Avery. (Oh, and a Mr. Bear!)

The Wedding of Brandi & Hugh

A few questions were asked about the name of the bride that I recently photographed. I listed that her name is Brandi, but on the name of the portraits, it's listed as "Heidi". No, I'm not losing it!! Her name is Brandi. I just know her by her nickname, "Heidi". So there it is.

On the day that Brandi & Hugh were to be married, it rained, it poured. I kept reassuring everyone that I was sure that it would stop. Secretly, I was really worried! Prayers had begun to be said, & about 15 minutes before time to start, the rain just dried up. The beautiful sun came out. It was then that everyone knew that God's hand was truly in this.

I hope you enjoy this glimpse at a wonderful couple, a beautiful ceremony, & an outstanding family.

Pretty little princess!!

When I think of Heidi, I always think of rainbow flip-flops & pretty ribbon {always matching her outfit} tied in her hair.

I had someone else take this one. I hardly ever get pictures of myself. I'm not thrilled about having my picture taken. That's why I'm on the other side of the camera. But this one isn't that bad.
