Dr. Giep Proposes to Michelle at Anson’s Restaurant

It’s hard to imagine two people more in love than Michelle & Dr. Giep!

I had the distinct honor of secretly photographing their wedding proposal at the renowned Anson Restaurant in historic downtown Charleston this evening.  They were the sweetest, kindest, most adorable couple you could ever imagine!!!  What a privilege it was to capture this special moment in their lives!

CONGRATULATIONS to Michelle & Dr. Giep! We wish you all the happiness in the world as you begin this new journey together…

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!!!

Head-shots for Southern Current

“The Southern Current mission is to spread environmental awareness by promoting renewable energy solutions.”

Two of South Carolina’s premier solar development companies — Sustainable Energy Solutions and Solbridge Energy — have merged to create Southern Current. With hundreds of residential and commercial solar projects installed across 7 states and over 500 MW of utility-scale solar projects in different stages, Southern Current is one of the most accomplished and largest developers in the Southeast.

Yesterday I had the honor of photographing head-shots, team photos, and business portraits for their brand new up-and-coming website and marketing portfolio. This was my 4th assignment for Southern Current. They are an AMAZING company, staffed with men and women of integrity. If you’re interested in going solar, I HIGHLY recommend contacting these fine folks!!!

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!!!  🙂

Not-Your-Boring-Headshots

At Chris & Cami Photography, we may have an impeccable reputation, a polished product, and an efficient turn-around time. But behind all the professionalism, we are just regular people, who love what they do, and love having a good time doing it!

It was a pleasure photographing new head-shots for Ben at Colliers International a few weeks ago. It’s nice to know that we’re not the ONLY ones who like to have a little fun with their day!  Yeah Baby, yeah!  🙂

Waypoint Recovery Center

I always get an extra sense of gratification when I have the opportunity to work with a client who I know is making a difference in people’s lives. Photographing head-shots and promotional images for Waypoint Recovery Center was just such an assignment!

“Waypoint Recovery Center offers a comprehensive intensive outpatient program for drug addiction and alcoholism. Our goal is to collaborate, encourage, and support a changed lifestyle, fully independent from substance use.”

I set up my portable studio, complete with camera, lights, background, and laptop, at their office one morning. After each person had their business portraits taken, they were able to look through them on the laptop to make sure they were happy with the images. Everyone loved the instant gratification. And their favorite shot was sent off to our retouching lab to get cleaned up!

I’d like to give a personal shout out to the amazing folks at Waypoint Recovery Center. Thanks for EVERYTHING you guys do to help those folks looking to get their life back on track!!!

Byars Family at Hampton Park

My last family shoot before Christmas Break came on Christmas Eve day.

I met up with Kathryn & Brent’s family at Hampton Park, just in time for the light to turn beautiful, soft, and golden. Their three adorable girls were a real treat! We had so much fun laughing and shooting that I completely lost track of time. 🙂

Not only were they a wonderful family, but Kathryn is an amazing photographer in her own right! Check out her beautiful work at Kathryn Arvanitis Photography.

As we take a short break from shooting to go and visit with our families, Cami and I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

The Price Girls (see what I did there?)

This weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE set of siblings!

I’ve been photographing the Price family for many years. They always come up with the most unique locations, and the coolest outfits, and the craziest ideas. All four girls bring such unique talents and personalities to each and every photo shoot we do together. But one thing they have in common is what beautiful young ladies they all are…inside and out!

As always, we had a BLAST…and came away with some amazing images!!!   🙂

Buss Family at Waterfront Park

Thanksgiving time is a time for family!

This morning it was such a pleasure to meet up with the Buss family at Waterfront Park with that beautiful rising sun, to photograph a fun session together! Here on vacation for the Thanksgiving holiday, it was so much fun showing off our gorgeous city to them. We had a BLAST exploring the beautiful backdrops of the park, the harbor, and the surrounding French Quarter.

Thanks for the good times, Erin, Steve, Audrey, and Owen. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all!!!

Abby’s Senior Portraits

I can’t even believe that “Little Abby” is all grown up!!!

Last night, in a gorgeous evening, at picturesque Hampton Park, we photographed Abby’s Senior Portraits. It was so much fun catching up with her life, and hearing about her passions for music, animals, and our planet.

CONGRATULATIONS, Abby! You have grown up to be such a kind, loving, talented, thoughtful, and beautiful young lady. I know you make your parents very proud!!!
