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!!! 🙂
Head-shots for South Carolina Federal Credit Union
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!!!
Taylor’s Modeling Portfolio
Last night our friend Robin brought her beautiful daughter, Taylor, to model for me and a few of my crazy fun photographer friends!
All images were shot with a Nikon D4 and Nikkor 70-200 f2.8. I used a Nikon SB-5000 as a Master flash to trigger 3 SB-800 Remote flashes. Two SB-800 flashes were ganged together as Group A in a 24″ EZY Box as the main light. One bare-bulb SB-800 in Group A was used as a kicker/rim light. All flashes were triggered with the RadioPopper Px system. After sunset, I placed full CTO gels on each flash and switched the cameras White-Balance to tungsten, giving the sky that electric blue tone.
Many thanks to David for the use of his classic Porsche, and to Michelle for hosting the event and finding this incredible location. But most importantly, a huge thank you to Taylor for braving the mosquitoes and looking absolutely FABULOUS!!! 🙂
Katie’s Bridal Portraits at Charlestowne Landing
Now that Katie & Grayson are married, I’m SO EXCITED to be able to finally reveal a few images from her fabulous Bridal Shoot!!!
Katie, her Mom, and her Maid of Honor all met up with me one afternoon last week at the picturesque Charlestowne Landing. This historic state park preserves the original site of the first permanent English settlement in the Carolinas! How cool is that?!?
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. The light was amazing. And Katie was absolutely STUNNING in her wedding gown! We had a blast and came away with some wonderful images to honor her beautiful dress and to commemorate this special time in her life!
Fisher & Whitehead Families at Colonial Lake
I always love photographing the Fisher Family! We go way back. Which means I’ve had so much fun watching their family grow over the years!!! 🙂 Over the weekend, I met up with Holly, Clint, and Kate at the newly renovated Colonial Lake in downtown Charleston for another family portrait session with them. They even brought their four-legged family members!
As an added bonus, they also brought their good friends and former neighbors, the Whitehead family. It was so neat to meet another wonderful family that’s just as fun, friendly, and full of life as the Fishers!
We all had a BLAST and came away with some beautiful images, just in time for a dramatic sunset over the Ashley River!
Amanda & Alicia’s Lifestyle Shoot
With all the mayhem leading up to their BEAUTIFUL wedding (which was featured in Borrowed & Blue by the way), Amanda, Alicia, and I didn’t get a chance to photograph their engagement session. So instead, Amanda had this really creative idea to do a post-wedding “lifestyle” shoot in their home! We had SO MUCH FUN hanging out and creating these awesome images of life, love, family, and togetherness!!!
Head-shots at The Cedar Room
Yesterday I photographed another fun set of head-shots in The Cedar Room at The Cigar Factory! Lee & Associates is one of my favorite corporate clients. Plus I always love working in this beautiful space!
Shot with Nikon D4, Nikkor 70-200, an SB-5000, and 4 SB-800 flashes.
