Rolling out the red carpet and welcoming all the best tennis players in the world to Charleston, the Volvo Car Open Player Party is always a HUGE HIT!!! This year it was held at the beautiful new Grand Bohemian Hotel in downtown Charleston.
Here are a few shots from the pre-tournament qualifying rounds, and fun activities around the grounds, during the Volvo Car Open Family Day!
While the top players began settling into Charleston for the Volvo Car Open, I had the privilege of photographing Johanna Konta and Naomi Osaka on The Dewberry Hotel rooftop during this year’s Iconic Photo Shoot!!!
What a beautiful way to end the day!!! The final rays of the setting sun skim across the marsh grass of the low-country as I stroll along the West Ashley Greenway. Good night everybody!
From photographing Joe & Louisa’s wedding, to capturing Geer’s 1-Year Cake Smashing, it was a real joy to meet the newest addition to their family!
Leila is an absolute joy, such a happy kid, and so much fun to be around. We photographed an entire family session at Hampton Park, and she never got tired or fussy once!!! At the end of the shoot, Grandma Felicia brought out this cute little cake and we let Leila go to town. 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS Joe & Louisa! You two are truly blessed to have these beautiful, healthy, and happy children in your lives!!!
For over 3 decades, Savage Law has taken on some of the most complex, high profile criminal cases in the Lowcountry!
Earlier this week I had the pleasure of photographing some new executive portraits for Andy Savage. I’ve been photographing for this law firm over the last decade. It was great to see everyone again and to create these new head-shots for Mr. Savage!
It was almost a month ago when Ashley called to see if I would secretly photograph his Surprise Proposal. He and I have had so much fun making plans and preparing for this special day!
Ashley and Mackenzie have been together for several years now. They have fallen head-over-heals in love. And he couldn’t wait to ask for her hand in marriage!!!
Arriving in town after a short drive from their home outside Atlanta, Ashley brought Mackenzie for a short walk to White Point Garden before dinner. Spotting them coming down Meeting Street, I quickly hid in my spot and waited…heart pounding inside! Ashley expertly manuvered Mackenzie to the exact spot we had picked out, and dropped to bended knee, asking Mackenzie to be his wife. It was such a beautiful moment!!!
Afterwards, we had a really fun AUTHENTIC Engagement Session, while we explored the beautiful historic downtown area. Then Ashley and Mackenzie headed off to a celebratory dinner at Circa 1886.
CONGRATULATIONS Mackenzie & Ashley! Cami and I wish you all the best for a beautiful new journey together. 🙂
It’s an honor and a privilege to be selected as a guest speaker alongside legends like Eddie Tapp, Judy Host, Richard Bernabe, and Ben Hartley at the Create Photography Retreat over the next few days!!!
Here are a few shots from today’s outing at Middleton Place Plantation…
As tax season approaches, what better way to liven up an accountant’s day than to schedule head-shots one morning, right?!?
Our photo sessions are always fun and entertaining. A good business portrait should look professional. But a GREAT business portrait should also have a sense of genuine humanity. I like to banter with my subjects to get a feel for their personality, drawing out the essence of who they really are underneath. That way their portrait isn’t just an empty “likeness” of them…but a true portrayal of who they are! Their smiles aren’t fake. They look natural and relaxed. They look confident, kind, and approachable.
Yesterday we had our annual portrait day at the Dixon Hughes Goodman accounting firm to photographing new team members. Here are a few favorites, including my silly selfie to test the lights at the beginning of the shoot. Plus I threw in some of the funny “out-takes” while we were goofing off! 🙂
If your company is looking for new head-shots, but you don’t want a boring, stuffy photo session that makes the experience a drudgery, give us a call!
One of my absolute favorite events to photograph each year is the Trident Health Service Awards, rewarding top employees for outstanding service!!!
“One of the greatest assets we have at Trident Health is our talented team of people who carry out our daily mission of creating a caring environment where healing occurs,” said Trident Health Chief Executive Officer Todd Gallati. “Our patients are at the center of everything we do, and outstanding individuals like these are the reason Trident Health continues to rank among the nation’s top performing hospitals.”
I photographed the program with a Nikon D5, a Nikon D850, the “Holy Trinity” of Nikkor lenses, and 10 Nikon Speedlights!
The daughter of a friend of ours, Abby was in town to model for Charleston Fashion Week. During some down time, we photographed a portfolio session for her at the old abandoned Naval Hospital. It also gave me a chance to really test the limits of the astounding new Nikon D850!
The Charleston Naval Hospital Historic District is nationally significant as an example of the United States effort to mobilize medical support for the Navy during World Wars I and II. Now neglected and in dis-repair, it once exemplifies the Navy’s ability to create a permanent and professional medical service for Navy personnel and their dependents. The complex is an intact collection of thirty-two buildings located in the northwest corner of the former Charleston Navy Base.
Abby was so much fun to work with! She is a beautiful young lady, both inside and out! And she has a very unique look. I can see why she’s so popular on the runway!!! We had a great time exploring the area, and coming up with some killer images for her to add to her portfolio.
Total Customized Revenue Management was formed to help hotels and resorts reach their full potential by using a customized approach to maximize revenue oportunities. With over 75 years of combined experience, TCRM understands hoteliers’ needs, and the demands of the day-to-day operation.
I had the privilege of photographing TCRM’s Annual Conference this year! All the top executives and key members of the operation gathered at the beautiful Francis Marion Hotel in historic downtown Charleston for three days of intense strategy meetings, keynote presentations, and round-table discussions. Aside from capturing the various activities, I had the honor of creating new head-shots and executive portraits of several leaders in the organization.
I truly had a great time working with TCRM. What a great group of talented individuals!!!
