Its always great to meet new people, and even better when you share common interests with them.

Amanda and Jeff came down to Savannah for the weekend from Knoxville, TN to visit old friends and to take some time out to shoot their engagement session. The couple have both shared the Savannah experience before as they both went to Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).

We took the time today to walk around Downtown Savannah. It was a beautiful day, and Downtown was very active with today being a holiday. The Downtown District being so scenic, made for some amazing backdrops.

Amanda and Jeff have been together for a number of years and it was beautiful to see their interaction with each other after so much time was still so playful and loving. It was honestly a pleasure meeting you guys today and I look forward to your wedding

Congratulations on your engagement guys!

Meet Amanda and Jeff!

Had the opportunity to work with an amazing family yesterday.

Jen, her husband Shannon, and three children (Hannah, Jack, and little Ava) came down south from Missouri to vacation on Hilton Head Island. While on their vacation, they decided to take some time out for some family portraits.

Now the beauty of this story, is Jen is an amazing portrait photographer herself. Jen is the principal photographer of JPGallery studio in Missouri. It is quite flattering that she chose me to spend time with her and her beautiful family.

Thinking about locations for the shoot, we came up with Bethesda Home For Boys. What better location to shout the LowCountry than Bethesda. The evening held a calming breeze, the tide was high, and the skies showed no signs of rain. An all around great day to meet a family with so much spirit and love for one another.

It was so great to meet you guys and I hope to see you guys again in the near future.

Oh, and Hannah, Jack, and Ava… you guys were a pleasure to be around. I hope your ice cream was everything you hoped it would be. You guys totally deserved it.

On to some of the images…

Meet Jen, Shannon, Hannah, Jack, and Ava!

I had the opportunity to work with Ashley and James during their beautiful, intimate beach wedding.

Pillars were raised and the chairs were set on the “North Beach” area of Tybee island. Even with the busy beach setting around them, the scene that was staged, held a great sense of seclusion. Family, friends and the happy newlyweds will without a doubt, remember this event forever.

The setting was just amazing, and everything was just planned to perfection. A nice cool breeze even came into play to cut the intense summer heat.

I wish the best for you two and may your love for one another stay strong.

Meet Ashley and James!

Its always an amazing opportunity when you get to share in “first” experiences. Even more so when you get to capture someone experiencing something for the first time. I recently got this opportunity with seven month old Alice Beth.

Alice Beth, Katie (mom), and I met on North Beach of Tybee Island. We met in the morning, before the humidity of a Savannah summer day entrenched us. The weather was just perfect and the skies a bright blue. It was just an amazing day to have/share Alice Beth’s first beach experience.

I still always wonder what goes through the heads of these little ones. Pure Innocence.

Meet Alice Beth!

… We also got to have a baby “Trash the Dress” session. Instead of a wedding dress, Alice Beth trashed her baptismal gown.

Sooo Cute!

On a day which was forcasted to be gloomy with isolated showers… someone was looking out for these two. The weather held out (and was quite beautiful I might add) so that Danah and David could celebrate their commitment to one another outside over looking the water at the Savannah Yacht Club.

Family is key to Danah and David, it was expressed many times though different people, speeches, and actions. The importance put on family in their lives was inspiring.

Danah and David have a special love for one another and it was great to have the opportunity to share in their joy. Everything and everyone was just beautiful. This was truly a day that will be remembered by all in attendance.

CONGRATULATION GUYS!!!

Meet Danah and David!

… Oh … and I’d like to send a special thank you to all the help I had during the day!
