Family Circle Cup 2015 – Day 4

We’re getting down to the best of the best! One of today’s players could potentially be holding the Family Circle Cup trophy in just a few days!!! 🙂

Family Circle Cup 2015 – Day 2

JJ, Petko, and Sammy, three of my personal favorites, all made it through Day 2 of the Family Circle Cup. Here’s a few selects from the day…

Family Circle Cup 2015 – Christina McHale at Joint Base Charleston

It has an honor this morning to be the photographer for Christina McHale’s private photo shoot on a C-17 Cargo Plane at the Charleston Air Force Base. Her tour of the base involves a lot more, of course…meeting Col. DeVore, shaking hands with our men and women in uniform, and signing autographs for military personel and their families. I love that the Family Circle Cup supports those who serve and protect us!

Family Circle Cup 2015 – All Access Hour

Each year the Family Circle Cup takes an hour out of the day to introduce the top 8 seeds to the media. Players get interviewed for print and telivision, and of course get their “official photos” done by yours truly. 🙂

Family Circle Cup 2015 – Player Party

Welcoming all the players to Charleston, and officially kicking off the Family Circle Cup, this year the Player Party was held at the one and only Mynt! It’s always so fun to see the players relaxing, hanging out, and just being themselves.

Family Circle Cup 2015 – Iconic Photo Shoot

My first day of coverage of the Family Circle Cup started out with an exciting Iconic Photo Shoot of Bethany Mattek-Sands and Alison Riske playing tennis on the deck of The Yorktown!

Grace’s Model Shoot at the Old Charleston City Jail

Personal projects are what feeds the creative soul! It’s what professionals photographers do on their spare time to keep the fire burning with passion.

When Grace decided she wanted to do her own Model Shoot…something totally different…I was super excited! I’ve photographed Grace’s family, along with her 3 wonderful sisters, for years. But it was wonderful to just having a little one-on-one time with her to have fun and be ourselves!

Grace is a super bright young lady and an A+ student. But you’d never guess it. Her sweet personality, calm nature, and quiet humility instantly puts you at ease. She has the most beautiful big brown eyes, and is as good in front of the camera as any professional model I’ve worked with!

Many thanks to my friend Mahmood for helping us gain access to the haunted Old Charleston City Jail. And thanks to David & April for letting Grace come out and play with me. We had a BLAST!!!

Toyota Southeast Comtrollers’ Conference

I drive a Toyota Highlander. So it was quite fitting that my good friend and crazy-cool photographer, Gary Coleman, asked me to cover this really fun event for Toyota!
The 2015 Southeast Toyota Comtrollers’ Conference was held at the Charleston Marriott. But their main corporate event was held at the Cotton Dock at Boone Hall Plantation. The fine folks at Absolutely Charleston made sure everything for the event was “absolutely” perfect.  And The Bushels brought fine tunes and merriment to the occasion. 
It was a pleasure being a part of another fantastic gala at this beautiful and historic venue!

Trident Healthcare Service Awards

Trident Healthcare is celebrating 40 Years of service to the Lowcountry!!!

Each year they honor their top employees from all around the lowcountry, at the Trident Healthcare Service Awards Banquet. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this corporate event for the last few years. This year’s gala was the best one yet!

The coolest part, was meeting and photographing the 4 ladies who have been with the hospital system since the very beginning. Putting in 40 years shows real dedication, and a love for what you do!

Congratulations to all the award winners, and thank you for your service!!!
