Crystal's Maternity Shoot

Crystal contacted me at the end of December about having some maternity shoots done before her baby arrived in March with her husband Brett. We picked a day a few weeks before her due date and once we got started the time just flew by as we hit several locations around Greenville in the cold, and by the way, every client I've had in the cold has done awesome and that includes you Crystal as it was quite cold outside. For some reason it seems as thought the moms-to-be can brave any weather! Crystal put all her trust in me to pick some nice locations and the light that day was perfect and we had a blast. Looking forward to photographing your new joy, in a few weeks that is. Click on the pictures for a larger view.

Smiling Sammi!!!

I always look forward to Sammi's photo shoots and this is the third time I've had the pleasure of photographing her. She is cute as a button, has the prettiest smile and is game for anything I throw her way. When we set up the photo shoot with her mom, I was looking for a cool urban shoot and I sent her a few samples of different clothes I thought would look cool and very urban like and she was on board. When we met at the location and I saw the outfits I was super excited to start shooting, even though Sammi was a little cold she totally rocked this session as you can see from the pictures. She was able to give me my poses, after she warmed up of course and the rest was history. Thanks Sammi, you did awesome and love the short hair! Click on the images for a larger view.

Jillian & Matt's Wedding Day

When I first met Jillian and Matt they seemed to be very soft spoken...more Jillian than Matt but they knew the type of wedding they wanted and after finishing their engagement photos they asked if I would do their wedding and of course I said "I would love to photograph your wedding". So months later the wedding arrives and about a week before I call them up and go over a few ideas about the bridesmaids and groomsmen shoot that I had a few places outside that would look very cool. They were all about the idea and we kept watching the weather up to their wedding day. One day it was sunny, the next it was rain, then sun, the rain. Well, it started raining as soon as we got to the church and then it started to sleet. Not good!! After the wedding we all headed downtown to this abandoned building that would be cool for the group shots of the wedding party since my other idea was put to rest due to the rain. Well, we get the guys out first and start getting some cool shots and then three police cars pull up. I kept shooting till it was time to see what's up. Not a big deal, it's an condemned building and they tell us we have to leave (even though there are no signs up or anything). But, they did give me ten minutes to finish the shoot which wasn't the amount of time I wanted but I did what I could with the time I had and was very happy with the results. Then off to the Martinsborough located downtown Greenville for the reception and what a fun place, live band, nice food and this very cool staircase that I just had to get Jillian and Matt on before they headed for their honeymoon. We had an awesome time at your wedding and can't wait for you to see the rest of the photos. Thanks to Andrea Wood for second shooting with me on this one. Click on the images for a larger view.
