Kids Foto Shoot

I had a Foto Session just for kids this month, hosted by Serenity Hair Salon. I had the opportunity to photograph the nicest, adorable young girl, her name is Brittany. She is also my feature client from the Kids Foto Session at Serenity Hair Salon. Brittany is 12 yo. and a very fashionable 12 yo. I might add. She coordinated her own outfit (of course with her Mother's assistance) and added her favorite accessories. I had so much fun photographing Ms. Brittany.

Final Part of our BBC Workshop

You don't have to say it....I know I've been a slacker :( I apologize but it's been a bit crazy in my world. I'm finally posting the maternity session we had with Beth! She was such a trooper, with all of us saying..."ok look here" look here, ok can you look here...LOL. Beth Thanks so much for allowing us to photograph you. I'm sure Beth has had the baby by now. You can check out Beth here, and read about her experience at BBC, I so much enjoyed meeting her. Ok, I know it's Sunday, but I've got a wedding I'm shooting with the fabaliss Stacey Bode....talk to you soon! Have a great Day!!!! And if you're off tomorrow, ENJOY IT!! Here are just a few images from the session.

What Brand do you Like?

Well it's Friday night and I've been working on my branding all week....it's been a crazy hectic week! cut me some slack :) but that's one of the things I learned at Liana's BBC, that you have to develop your branding. Liana showed us how to do that by composing a "Brand Board" put the things that are you on your board. I started out with a picture of Sonya & Terrence, a lovely couple whose wedding I photographed last year. From their photo I began to build on the things associated with me, what I like and make me who I am. I went through different websites and magazines I frequent and this is what I came up with I did have alot on here but then it started getting out of control, so I cut back a bit. It's still a work in progress but tell me what comes to mind when you look at my "Branding Board", I'd be curious to know. Well that's it for tonight but, don't fret I haven't forgotten Beth's maternity session, it's coming soon....

Survivors of Liana's Photo Buziness Boot Camp aka BBC

I just finished attending Liana's BBC (Business Boot Camp) and it was overwhelming, intense, revealing, and Great all at the same time! I enjoyed myself emmensely and I have so much to do, I'm looking forward to the change. If you haven't attended or are thinking of going please go, You won't regret it. Liana Thanks so much girl, you're awesome!! Ladies, it was so nice to meet all of you and to get to know you! K.I.T.

Here are the survivors of BBC (from left to right) Ellen, Karen, Jamie, Marie and Beth. Beth is expecting next month so keep a look out for her Maternity Session. I'll be posting those soon!



Karen was showing the Ladies a different feature on their cameras.


Liana had some additional assistants beside Sara. Charlie & Gracie. This is Charlie below. He worked so hard making us feel comfortable, warm and loved. By the time BBC was over Charlie was pooped! Here he is barely waking up from one of his naps LOL....sweet Charlie! Unfortuately I didn't get many shots of Gracie, but she's in the first picture with the BBC Survivors ;)

A Charleston Wedding

Last week I had the opportunity to work with the Talented and Awesome Photographer Jill Higgins in Charleston, SC. The day couldn't been better, even if you asked for it. It was a perfect day for a wedding. The lovely couple was Nicole and Brian. Jill thanks so much for inviting me and I hope to work with you again. Here are a few of my pics.

Like I said the day was "Perfect"


The couple met before the ceremony in this beautiful garden of one of the locals.






I wanted to try a different look to these next images








this was one of my favorite moments!

Lil Miss Zinayah

I had a photo session this week with an adorable, cute 5 year old who was too funny. Meet Zinayah. She was actually going to audition for a role in a movie. I'll be keeping my eyes on her, she can't help but to be on the big screen! These are a few of my pics of her.

Fun, Colorful and Different StoryBoard Actions

Not sure how familiar you are with Jodi from MCP Actions, but if you don't know her you should check her out. She is definitely an informative resource for photographers. I really love her Ultimate Collection of Storyboard, Collage, and Template Actions.

I did a photo shoot with cutie pie Chloe awhile back, so I used her as my model for the story-board actions. I must admit I was actually playing around the story-board actions with the colors. I just picked a few I wanted to share with you. Check'em out and tell me what you think. I'm still learning so I welcome any constructive critique :-)

Also, if you'd like to book a LifeStyle Portrait session send me an email. I'd love to photograph you!









This template is actually from Lena Hyde another great template I love!!

Finao Rocks!!!

Well I just received my first album from Finao and I love it, and my clients loved it too. It was totally not what they were expecting! A very pleasant surprise. Here are a couple of pics i took before I had to deliver the album last night. Thanks for such a great job Finao and Thanks Mac and LaShae for letting me photograph your proposal engagement!!

I love the rice paper wrapping...

Boudoir Session

It's Friday night and it's raining Lions, Tigers and Bears oh my! Well actually, it's raining and thundering like crazy. I've got a few different projects I need to be working on, one of them being a Boudoir Session with the lovely Shae. Shae was fun and easy to work with and we both felt comfortable which is very important. Boudoir sessions are normally for the client's eye only, but Shae wasn't shy about me posting an image. Feel free to tell me what you think.

Tasha & Barry

This is a wedding I shot with N'neka a few weeks ago. It was a wonderful wedding, despite the Tornado we had just the night before. Here are some of my pics from the Wedding.



This was a touching moment, when the bride-to-be received a surprise from her soon to be Husband Barry. In case you're wondering it's a "New Edition DVD". She Loves New Edition!!!








The Husband to be as he awaits he soul mate.




I think these last two images speak for themselves.


At last, my love.....
