Meet Charlie. He is my new nephew. He is seen here with his big brother, Will. I was so happy I got to visit — Charlie was less than a week old when I met him. A week of snuggling with Charlie and playing with Will is pretty much the best thing on earth though I will admit I was exhausted when I got home!

Not only was this idea so much fun — going to the stadium, the clothes, the bats and gloves — it was also meaningful to Kimberly & Matt. They have both been playing ball for some time and still play on a softball team together. In fact, they had their engagement party in the stadium where they play. So, yet again… a few perfect props not only made for some fun posing but added meaning to the pictures as well. This definitely made me one happy photographer.

The light, the picnic, the trees, a super sweet couple — the perfect combination for a wonderful engagement session. This is such a great example of what a few well chosen ‘props’ can do for a shoot — I have to give all the credit to Kimberly for the ideas. It is so fun to have a wedding planner for a bride — her creativity not only helped to make the engagement shoot completely gorgeous for me to photograph but added so much fun to the shoot as well. Thanks Kimberly & Matt and I can’t wait for the wedding!

I’ll try to keep this brief but I have oh so many people to thank who made this shoot possible. First of all, Ashely Rhodes of Ashley Rhodes Events was absolutely amazing to work with. She was the incredible stylist for this shoot. Jules de Jesus of Dollface by Jules did make-up while Karen Hough was on hair. Their work, as always, was absolutely stunning. And of course, our models – Jennifer Herring is the model you see here and there is more to come with Alexa Sims. It goes without saying it couldn’t have been done without them! Sarah Kohut was my excellent assistant. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all these incredible people! This was such an amazing shoot because of all of you and I can’t wait to post more!!

I met Avery last year – she was a student in my photography class for Savannah Christian Preparatory School’s art week. I knew that she was a dancer and as I have a special place in my heart for all the years I spent dancing I was super excited about photographing her dancing. I also love the idea of doing senior portraits outside of the box. Thanks Avery for being great to work with and easy to photograph — you are a beautiful dancer!
