New Family Circle Cup Ad

Mike Saia, the Communications Manager at the Family Circle Cup, just shared this new add with me. It’s with a photo I took of Serena Williams, last year’s Champion. It appears in Play Tennis Florida, Florida’s official USTA publication – distributed to approximately 60K players throughout the state. Mike is such a great guy! He writes: “Here’s one of my favorite shots from the 08 FCC in one of our first regional ads.”

As you can imagine, they’re gearing up for the 2009 tournament over there at the Family Circle Tennis Center. It’s a TON of work. But that’s an event I look forward to photographing every year!

OSP South in Charleston

OSP South is descending on Charleston this week! So if you happen to be strolling around downtown and see a gaggle, pod, or litter of photographers running around with cameras blazzing…well…that’s just us having a good time! πŸ™‚ Open Source Photo is an online community of friendly photographers started by David Jay. We had a great time yesterday and I’m looking forward to what today has in store!!!

Nick Vujicic is my New Hero!

My good friend Byron shared this with me. It is TRULY INSPIRATIONAL! How many times do we feel like giving up a dream? How many times do we wonder “is it worth it”? How often do we feel sorry for ourselves? Well…watch this for a new perspective and know that ALL things are possible…br /object height=”344″ width=”425″param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/2I0DRk8dFjIamp;hl=enamp;fs=1″param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/2I0DRk8dFjIhl=enfs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”344″/embed/object

Amy Seth at St. Luke’s Chapel

I had a BLAST last week at Amy amp; Seth’s wedding!!! They were married at St. Luke’s Chapel (one of my favorite churches in town) and had their reception at The Elk’s Lodge. Their images came out AWESOME! Check it out…br /diviframe title=”Showit Web Slideshow” style=”BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000″ src=”https://chrisandcami.com/slideshows/AmyAndSeth/iframe.html” frameborder=”0″ width=”510″ scrolling=”no” height=”690″/iframe/div

The Marine Ball

Last night Cami, our friend Lynn, and I had the honor of photographing the Marine Ball. It was held at Charleston Place this year…always a classy venue. The Marines were all decked out and looking sharp. And their dates weren’t holding back on any of their BLING either!

We had a great time. It was one of our Print-on-Site events. Everyone was so EXCITED to be able to see their pictures on the monitor immediately after their shoot, pick out their favorites, and get their prints back in a matter of seconds! We LOVE instant gratification in America don’t we? πŸ˜‰

I have to say it’s always a pleasure serving our men and women in uniform. What you do for our country…words can not express our gratitude! GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE!!!

Hangin’ Out with Henry

Good old Henry is our faithful studio companion. He’s over 13 years old now (I know…hard to believe, right?!?). So we don’t rough-house with him much any more. But whenever we need a break from editing images, Cami and I will get down on the floor with him and cuddle up to all that soft fur. πŸ™‚ He’s been such a joy in our lives ever since we (er…should I say Cami…) adopted him through Pet Helpers. He bounced through several abusive/neglectful homes as a puppy before popping into our lives. But he’s been well-loved ever since! And he’s turned out to be a wonderful part of our family…

Christmas is Coming!

“Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat!” πŸ™‚ I love that old holiday jingle. As you can imagine we’ve ramped up our schedule to cover all the extra requests we get for Holiday Portraits this time of year. Kevan-Ann was a vibrant, beautiful young lady. Her business card says “Retired”, but she’s far from it…always on-the-go auditing classes at the College of Charleston and working on all sorts of projects. Her friends and family are going to be DELIGHTED to open their Christmas Card this year and see one of the fun photos from her session!!!

KDM Design

Here’s a few shots from a cool shoot I had last week with KDM Design. Let me tell you, this house was OVER-THE-TOP!!! The home is on Kiawah Island and it was all prepped for a house tour. So Katheryn was the designer and wanted me to photograph it for her portfolio. The home was designed by Sam Fur and built by Tracy Hutchins.
