I don’t even know where to start with this post…because the getting ready portion of our wedding day was one of my FAVORITE parts. You would think it would be the ceremony or first looks or dances…but spending the entire morning with all of my favorite girls was so, so special to me. It was […]

This engagement session was SO special to me! Not only was it my first time EVER on St. Simons Island…but it was for two dear friends of mine, Olivia and Curt. I have known Olivia since high school, and have photographed her SO many times in the last 10 years: senior portraits, family portraits, workshops, […]
It has been a long time since I shared an engagement session on the blog…and even longer since I loved a shoot THIS much!! Jordan and Katrina’s engagement session took place on Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, SC. These two both live in Colorado, so they traveled a LONG way to be here…and they’ll do the […]
