The Big Leap Approaches for Frank & Dawn!

Frank & Dawn are ready to take the leap!


Huntington State Park Family Portraits

Last weekend I photographed The Hensley Family at Huntington Beach State Park in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The weather was very fine, but not nearly as fine as the faces!


Happy St. Valentine’s Day!

This past year has been a JAM PACKED year of non-stop love and I hope all of you are celebrating by expressing your love today! I want to thank all my clients from the past 12 months who hired me to record their love! St. Valentine was martyred for protesting a ban on marriage, and his stance on love and →


Fall in Love

A few of my favorite things? Fall Love Falling in Love LeRon & Gro Anita were visiting the US from Norway and asked me to photograph them while they were here. I split their session with part of the shoot near Market Commons, Myrtle Beach and the other part of the session was at Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, SC. It was inspiring →


American Leather Woman

Back in July I was flying for work and got stuck in the very back row of the plane where the seats are not even adjustable.  Luckily I was next to two super friendly ladies and we started chatting about why we were traveling.  I was flying to a wedding shoot and they were flying to a charity event for →


Huntington State Park – Baisch Family Playtime!

How awesome is it that I live on the beach? Sometimes it feels like I'm almost cheating because when the weather is right, at the right time of day, it's almost impossible NOT to get amazing photos!

Angela & Brian at Prince Resort

This past weekend I photographed with Brooke Christl, and in addition to realizing that we both know WAY too many show tunes and tend to bring out the dorky side in each other, we also got to take some photos of some amazingly fun people! Angela & Brian were married on April 30, 2010 at Prince Resort in Myrtle →


Framing Families

Sometimes I think I am just plain lucky.  I get to frame moments like this and give these pictures to families that will remember this exact moment forever.  I shot the Horn Family this past Monday at Myrtle Beach State Park.  When I shoot portraits for families I like to focus on two things.  First, what will they want to →

Little Faces in Pretty Places

I love kids and families.  Personality and birth order are very intriguing to me.  I love studying people nearly as much as I like photographing them. Meet Karissa. Eldest of three children. She was willing to let me test the light on her face before taking any "real" photos, a task which she took as seriously as any eldest child should.
