North Charleston Senior Center for Glick Boem Architects

It was a pleasure photographing the new North Charleston Senior Center on Carner Avenue this week!

The North Charleston Senior Centers have an onsite state of the art fitness center, water aerobics pool, group fitness exercise room and plenty of programs for all levels during operating hours. The fitness centers are equipped with commercial quality cardio and weight training equipment. There are ongoing daily activities at each site to help encourage social interaction and support ongoing educational opportunities.

Many thanks to Shawn at GBA for coordinating everything to make this shoot possible!

Seamon Whiteside Oyster Roast

I always enjoy working with the friendly folks at Seamon Whiteside!

From covering their employee’s headshots, to documenting their various projects, to capturing their company Christmas Party…every assignment for them is always well organized and a pleasure to photograph.

This week I had the honor of photographing their spring Oyster Roast! It had originally been planned in the fall. But Hurricane Helene had other plans!!! The new date turned out to be this beautiful spring day. It was absolutely perfect! And everyone had so much fun!!!

Many thanks to Denise for all her hard work organizing everything…twice! 🙂

Headshots for Weeks & Irvine

It was a dreary, drizzly day to drive to Mauldin…which is up near Greenville. But photographing the newest team member for Weeks & Irvine was totally worth it! After photographing his headshot, I visited the North Charleston location to photograph two more new team members. Everyone was so much fun to work with! And the photos turned out great! Many thanks to Nicole for coordinating everyone’s schedules to make this happen. 🙂

B.W. Mitchum Trucking Co.

For almost 70 years, B.W. Mitchum continues to be a leader in customized intermodal and domestic transportation, while still maintaining the core principles you’d expect from a 3rd generation family business. Ronnie, who has steared the ship since 1990, takes great pride in the reliable and personalized customer service they are known for. The company provides exceptional logistical support, transportation, warehousing, transloading, and brokerage services to their industry. They now operate multiple terminals with over 200 trucks!

I’ve known Ronnie & Jan for many years. I mentored Jan, who is an excellent photographer in her own right. I photograph family portraits for them. And I even photographed their daughter’s wedding! So when their daughter, Brooke, reached out to ask if I would help capture some new and updated headshots and team photos for them to use in a new website they were building, I was absolutely delighted!!!

Seamon Whiteside New Greenville Office

One of my favorite parts about being a professional photographer for so many years is the long-term relationships I’ve built with my clients. One of my favorites is the engineering firm of Seamon Whiteside!!!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing some marketing photos in their brand new Greenville office! Seamon Whiteside has offices all over the state. And they’ve had one in Greenville for years. But they just moved into a spacious new facility that they helped design from the ground up. While I was there, I also photographed headshots for several new team members.

We all had a BLAST and came away with a ton of fun photographs!!!

Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary for Trident Construction

Cami and I are both huge animal-lovers. So when my friends at Trident Construction invited me to photograph the brand new state-of-the-art facility they had just completed at the Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary, I jumped at the chance!

It’s the season of giving…and adopting! Check out https://www.halliehill.com/ to make a donation…or make an appointment to meet some of their four-legged friends. Who knows?!? You just might find that perfect pet you’ve been looking for, and give them their forever-home!

Honda True on Kiawah Island

It was a pleasure working with Lee  at Experience Holy City on Kiawah Island this week!

I was photographing all the beautiful details and decor she had created for Honda True, who was holding their annual sales meeting here on Kiawah Island. The first night was for their Welcome Reception in the Terrace Ballroom at The Sanctuary. The second night was at Mingo Point.

Honda True also had me photograph and print couple’s portraits at the Mingo Point Oyster Roast. Since it’s been raining all week, we had to get creative! I had the couples standing just underneath the covered patio area, with the marsh trees draped in Spanish Moss as the backdrop. Since it was a pitch black night, I placed 4 Flashpoint speedlights under the trees (covered in ziploc bags to protect them from the rain), with amber gels on them to give the lights an orange glow. The couples were lit with a Flashpoint eVolv 200 in an octabox. While I photographed the couples, my good friend Gary was making the prints on his DNP DS40 printer. Everyone loved the instant gratification of receiving their portrait that night!

Many thanks to Lee and Amber for making everything run so smoothly!!!

Premier Physical Therapy

It’s always a privilege to capture the annual Christmas Card photo for the amazing team at Premier Physical Therapy!!! Plus we got a few fun ones of their therapy dogs while we were at it. 🙂

Windwood Family Services Annual Fundraiser

It was an absolute pleasure to photograph the Annual Fundraising Gala for Windwood Family Services this week! Not only was it a great event…it was for a fantastic cause!!!

Windwood Family Services provides help, hope, and healing to children and families affected by abuse, neglect, or trauma through residential programs and community services. Windwood Farm serves boys ages 6-16 who have either experienced prior abuse or neglect and are in the custody of SC Department of Social Services…or are experiencing behavioral issues without abuse or neglect in their background and are in their parents custody.

The event was held at beautiful Hotel Emeline in downtown Charleston. Guests were greeted with a fun cocktail hour in the open courtyard, where Silent Auction items were available for browsing and bidding. Everyone was then invited into the gorgeous ballroom for a lovely dinner. Then the program kicked into high gear with guest speakers and a lively Live Auction. It was so heartwarming to see the amount of money that was raised to help fund this wonderful organization.

Many thanks to Mia for trusting me to cover this important event for Windwood Family Services!

April Curci for Carolina One Real Estate

I first met April about 5 years ago when she first moved to Charleston from Arizona. She had joined a different commercial real estate team here in Charleston…and I was photographing their headshots at the Old Cigar Factory.

April went on to make a name for herself in the industry. She ultimately joined the team at Carolina One, which is the largest real estate company in the region. She feels at home and loves working there!

April will be leading the annual Market Forecast Meeting for the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors next week, and needed a new headshot for her on-screen bio. Plus it was time to update her marketing photos anyway! So we met up downtown for a fun walk-about, capturing a variety of new shots for April that incorporated all of Charleston’s charm as the backdrop for her session.

CONGRATULATIONS on all your accomplishments in such a short amount of time, April!!!

Headshots for Seamon Whiteside

I was glad it wasn’t quite as hot and muggy as it’s been all summer. It meant that my subjects weren’t “melting” during this morning’s photo shoot!!!

Seamon Whiteside had asked me to photograph some updated headshots for new members that had recently joined their team. Arriving a few minutes early, I scouted their courtyard for some nice backgrounds with beautiful light. As each person came out to meet me, we went through a variety of poses on several differnt backgrounds so they had lots to choose from. Everything was photographed with the Nikon Z9 + Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 Z. I had an off-camera flash with me in case I needed it. But honestly, the natural light was so nice I never even turned it on!

Many thanks to Lia and Denise for helping coordinate everyone’s schedules!!!
