Have you seen the new issue of Smitten Magazine yet?! It just launched this past Monday an it is so full of color and inspiration. I am incredibly honored to be the lead photographer and get to work with the creative director, Becky Hoppman, with whom I also share a studio space!
Here’s apiece we did together on “Trends to Try”. Now go download the magazine and check out the rest!
I believe that my first love had to be dogs.
I’ve had them my entire life and I can not imagine living without them!
So of course I jumped at the chance to photograph for Lowcountry Dog magazine.
The cover story is on big and little dogs and let me tell you what, each of these pups had the most incredible personalities. And they were totally loved by their owners. it was such a treat to go from photogrpahing a tee-tiny 2.5 lb. chihuahua to a 250+lb. mastiff. The yorkie cracked me up with her ears and then the great danes, whoa! A pair of them came together and they took up half the studio.
Grab it on the stands now! It’s free and you can find it in all the awesome dog stores around Charleston and Harris Teeter, to name a few.
It’s always an honor to have a wedding we photographed appear on The Wedding Row! Sarah and Tad’s Kiawah early Spring wedding was fantastic, from pink lit palm trees to a fireworks display! See the full story on The Wedding Row.
Congratulations to The Wedding Row and Charleston Weddings Magazine on their recent merger!
We were thrilled to see Mary Neill & Blake’s wedding featured on there over the New Year!
I was very flattered to be interviewed recently for an article that just came out in Coastal Living magazine about family beach portraits. I’ve got to admit that one of the perks of being a photographer here is that I have the opportunity to “work” on the beach photographing families from all over the world who come to vacation here in Charleston, SC.
The lovely Melissa Bigner wrote the article. You may also know her as the editor of Charleston Weddings Magazine. She’s always a gem to work with!
Grab the December 2012 copy of Coastal Living and come on down to Charleston soon! Here are a few of my favorite family beach sessions at some of your favorite vacation spots in case you need ideas!

I was so excited to see one of my favorite weddings from last year on The Wedding Row today! You may remember seeing images from Anne Marie’s bridal shower, designed by Kristin Newman Designs & Gathering, which was featured in Smitten Magazine last year.
Anne Marie and Edward were married last August at Bethel United Methodist and had their reception at the Hibernian. To see more of their incredible style and grace, check out The Wedding Row.
It’s here! The 1 year anniversary issue of Smitten has debuted.
I was thrilled to be asked to take the cover image for this issue. Ombre has been hot hot hot this year and our savvy creative director Becky Hoppmann wanted to honor that for the magazine’s one-year anniversary issue. Anne Bowen of Stems honed the palette and worked her sculptural skills to create this blanket of flowers on which to rest this plate form BHLDN and a tasty little number “1″, made by Ashley Bakery.
What do you think?!
I was beyond excited when Jennifer Hitchcock at The Local Palate contacted me about photographing their entertaining feature for the July/August issue of this gorgeous food magazine. They are based out of Charleston, but focus on the “food culture of the south”, which is brimming with energy.
The entertaining feature, “An Independent Feast” was styled by Magda Pelzer of Vieuxtemps and the menu was created by John Zucker of Cru Cafe and Cru Catering, whom I get to enjoy at many of the weddings I shoot.
There were some extra delicious Firefly sweet tea vodka cocktails on hand, but sadly I missed taste testing those that day. We shot at a stunning property on James Island and I was ready to move onto their boat after the shoot it was so scenic.
Enjoy the photos and go grab a mag!
I LOVE color, so it was exciting to see the most recent issue of Smitten, which is all about… you guessed it, COLOR! Becky Hoppmann, Smitten‘s cretive director and I got together to photograph the lovely baubles of color and debate which were our faves.
Lover.ly even shared one of the photos we took of the sparkly polish we used, that was exciting! Have you tried Lover.ly yet? So cool! It’s like Pinterest but just for wedding inspiration. It’s completely visual and you can even search by color.
