Muro Family on Isle of Palms

Every year I look forward to the famous Muro Family Reunion photo shoot with great anticipation!!! It’s been so much fun capturing fun memories for this wonderful group for the last several years. Watching the kids grow (and having new kids magically join the group), has been so much fun for me.

One thing I particularly love is that these guys all welcome me in like part of the family. In fact, so much so this year, that the in-laws asked me to participate in a group photo with them! So I got to be in front of the camera for a change. How fun is that?!?

CONGRATULATIONS to all the Muros for another wonderful family vacation. We love you guys!!!

The Calm Before the Storm

Before Hurricane Florence hits Charleston, I had a chance to go downtown and photograph a few images of the calm before the storm. The place was a ghost town!!!

Create Photography Retreat

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…

Charleston Rugged Maniac

I’m always intrigued by the challenge, suffering, and ultimate triumph humans seek out in competitive sports. Being a sports photographer has its own set of challenges!

This spring I had the pleasure of covering the Charleston Rugged Maniac Challenge at Boone Hall Plantation with this AMAZING team of sports photographers. I’ve photographed this event for the last 4 or 5 years, and always enjoy the experience! It’s tough on the gear…keeping the mud and water off the equipment isn’t easy. And it’s tough on the photographers…I shot over 4,000 images in five hours of non-stop action.

A special shout out goes to Richard Ellis for capturing the image of me “at work”!  And thank you to the nice EMT staff for taking our team picture!

But being a part of the excitement these athletes experience is totally worth it!!! CONGRATULATIONS to all the participants for enduring and triumphing over this fabulous challenge!

Headshots for DHG

When Dixon Hughes Goodman, one of the largest accounting firms in the country, hires new associates, I have the privilege of going in and photographing their head-shots. It was a pleasure meeting and photographing some of the latest additions to their amazing team yesterday!!!

Amy & Adam at Middleton Place Plantation & Garden

I’ve known Amazing Amy for several years through the hair salon she manages. She is super fun, full of energy, and loves life to the fullest! Adam is her rock. He comes from a family with a history in law enforcement, and works for the Sheriff’s Department. He’s the strong silent half of Amy & Adam!  🙂

Yesterday we met up at the always-picturesque Middleton Place for their engagement shoot. The soft glow of late afternoon light was absolutely perfect! Playing tourist in our own town, we explored every corner of this amazing Charleston plantation, capturing the love these two share for each other.

We had an absolute BLAST together!  And we even got ourselves a rainbow!  I can’t wait to photograph their awesome wedding celebration this fall!!!

Thomas Family at Hampton Park

After photographing Riley’s newborn photos a year ago, it was so much fun cathcing up with the Thomas Family for her 1-Year Photo Shoot at Hampton Park!!! Riley is an absolute DOLL with a smile that will melt your heart! It’s no surprise since she has some of the coolest parents ever, gets a play date with her amazing aunt every week, and spends lots of time with her beautiful grandmother too! 🙂

Romberger Family at Bottany Bay Plantation

This weekend I got to photograph one of my FAVORITE families in one of my all-time FAVORITE locations!

From Brittainy & Nate’s Wedding…to fun weekend gatherings with their entire clan, it’s ALWAYS a joy to spend time with this very special family!!!

Product Photography for Just Kenzie Jewelry

“Just Kenzie Jewelry is a product of the stirrings of my imagination”, writes Mackenzie King.  How cool is that?!?

It’s always such a pleasure working with this amazing, talented, beautiful, and giving young lady. From capturing their wedding, to photographing product photos of her wearable art, I always enjoy every shoot we do together!!!

If you’re looking for a fabulous and unique gift for that special someone, even if that someone is yourself, I highly recommend www.justkenzie.com.

Business Portraits for Falls Legal

Falls Legal, LLC is a boutique employment law firm that represents employees throughout the State of South Carolina. Because they only take on a select number of cases each year, they are able to provide a level of service and attention to detail that larger firms can’t.

It’s been my honor to photograph the Falls Legal Team for the last couple of years. Scott and Ashley work seamlessly together, are true and honest in their dealings with others, and have a genuine heart for helping others! I highly recommend them if you’re ever in need of an employment attorney!!!

Head-shots for South Carolina Federal Credit Union

POW!!!  I blinded myself doing test shots this morning when I was setting up to photograph head-shots for the South Carolina Federal Credit Union!  OOPS!!!  🙂

Super Bowl Party for Mellow Mushroom

Every year Mellow Mushroom hosts a very special invitation-only event on Super Bowl Sunday!

The celebration is for all their VIP Beer Club Members. They close the whole restaurant for them, serving free beer and pizza to all the guests. Plus of course the Super Bowl is blasting on all the giant LCD screens around the room. It really is an awesome atmosphere and I had a BLAST photographing it for them!!!

Many thanks to my friend and amazing photographer, Adam Chandler, for the referral. 🙂
