Have you ever met someone you were so jazzed to be with?

You think they are such an ace!

even when they need some space . . .

Whether you see eye to eye

They face your heart

and heart your face.

They think you're too cool for school.

You think they just rule the pool.

You hug

and kiss

and fool around

You both feel free to act like clowns

He's got your back

You've got his neck

You both figure "what the heck!?"

You take one another by the hand

They choose you

And you choose them

To dance

Until

Your dance

is done.

yes, they are this cute in real life.

sometimes I love eye contact in photos!

Frank & Dawn are so sweet to each other!

I could not get over the beautiful light that evening!

They are so stylish!

Thanks for the fun evening, I am so glad I get to shoot your wedding this coming fall!!! <3

The Hensley crew!

Presented to you by Emma!

The girls were having a hard time keeping it together!

Emma gives me the perfect pose :)

I love her mischievous face!

Olivia is an explosion of energy!

And beautiful, to boot!

Kelsie smiles nonstop, and it's radiant.

but I did manage to get one straight face out of her :)

Todd is a pastor in Fayettville, NC and one of the most kind and sincerely caring people I have met in the south.

He does good things. He doesn't just talk about it. I think we all can appreciate that.

And of course, a man that awesome must have a total hottie for a wife!

race!

Thanks for having me photograph your family, I hope to see you all again soon!

Thanks again for the opportunity to work for all of you! I love your faces!

If you follow my blog at all, you know I love sparkling things, so I was pretty happy when I saw these leaves!

I love the fall so much! This is what November is like in Myrtle Beach, gorgeous!

They were surprisingly good tango dancers!

LeRon looks at me after making Gro Anita laugh, I love this glance.

light!

<3

Off to Boone Hall! A very cool historical location.

This place is very much worth a visit if you are in the area!

Tons of crazy famous movies were filmed here and the tours are very well done

The spanish moss and live oaks that line the lane leading to Boone Hall Plantation are so beautiful!

love birds!

This season, dance with someone you love!

laugh together

Fall in Love

Thank you for letting me capture your love, Leron & Gro Anita! I hope to see you again soon!

This might be my favorite image. The wings on the mural are so perfect with her Harley!

I like this composition because Dakota gained her title for one more year, so she is IN! I also like it because, well, she looks totally badass.

Thanks so much for having me do this, Dakota & Kim! I was so glad to meet up with you both again and I hope it can happen again soon!

Camden is suspended

Dan and Laura enjoy a millisecond of kid free time!

Grayden's best determined face!

Camden was all over the place!

Grayden brings me a gift of a newly found sea creature <3

Camden was such a mess by the end of this shoot, but he really did not care!

Grayden runs with me!

Portraits with Pizazz! Just a little added light is all it takes to bring out the dramatic sky! What a perfect day!!

Erica & Joseph were just too easy to photograph!!

Simplicity

The entire entourage!

Make kids pose? who, me? um, no.

Ok so sometimes I have them pose. I am just so very fond of children that I try to keep their posing requirements to a minimum :)

BACK TO RUNNING!!!

Joseph and the boys!

The girls glam it up!

The seagulls start to gather

they were so sweet and peaceful together.

The birds scatter once they find out there is no food involved in the chase!

Erica & Joseph agree to chase the seagulls for me!

fun run!

Erica & Joseph are such good sports! running in the sand is no easy task, especially in formalwear!

Angela takes off!

She was up for anything!

Angela was so playful, she jumped right over me!

I love lucky shots like this!

dressing

It is on!

Angela poses for Brooke and I grab this colorful shot. Brooke is a very talented photographer, I highly recommend her!!

Angela was packin' a serious holster. Do not mess with this girl . . .

Brian was blindfolded so that he would not accidentally see Angela, who snuck out and hid behind the giant beach umbrella!

Angela stays hidden as the rest of the guests are seated

Brian diligently stays blindfolded as he awaits her appearance!

They exchange rings with buoys on them JUST IN CASE! a wise investment.

It's official!

The wind was VERY unpredictable that day :)

I loved the light under the dock!

A quiet moment before the reception

This little girl had my attention all day!

Portraits can describe family dynamics, I love the energy in this photo.

The cuteness factor in this family is simply overwhelming!

Jeff and Cara are amazing parents. Not only are they raising three amazing, fun, unique children but they have a beautiful committed love that I truly respect.

It doesn't take much to keep kids happy at the beach!

Levi digs his koala style momma ride! I love his face!
