Welcome to my blog So this is a place I will probably rant and rave, wear my heart on my sleeve, gush on my family, and most importantly share my art...the photo stories of wonderful couples and people I cross paths with.   Don't be afraid to bookmark it, or leave a comment.  I love hearing from everyone and anyone.  Check back frequently...I will try to keep you updated.

ebony oh ebony where do I begin!!!  Ebony booked me a while ago, like back when I was fairly new to the area.  I think she heard about me...was hoping I did things a little different and was banking on something good going down!  I feel like it has been forever because she has seen me with Betsy as a baby, then pregnant, and now back to my good ole' self again!  I truly love Ebony, her style, her ability to chat up anyone, to laugh about anything and her sense of just who she is. 
Her bridal session was shot indoors cause it was HOT outside and she had some connections to a building that we took over for an evening. 
Ebony is like my sister from another mother and well here she is...

Where do I start with Ashley? I was so excited when I heard there was a photojournalist in the Sumter area and had to check her out! Who would have thought two years ago, a photographer whom I now can call a friend, would impact the memories of this special moment for the rest of my life. You are truly a burst of energy in the Sumter market and really enjoy making brides look absolutely FIERCE! I am so happy that God placed me in the right place, at the right time, to meet a caring, loving, and energetic woman as you.

Your sister from another mother,
Ebony Baxter

Kenyetta's bridal portraits can be seen a post or two back.
I have said before that I just love her and had a really great time at this wedding.  Her and Eugene are a sweet couple and I am so glad I could be a part of this. 
We had super weather let me ad!  Angel and her team from "An Angel's Touch" coordinated the wedding ceremony. It was my first time working with them and I just love them!!! Kenyetta as I just found out did most of the decorating herself!!!  She did an amazing job and is super duper creative!

Beautiful! I just don't know the words to explain how wonderful the pictures look. But I do have one correction to the name of my company, it's "An Angel's Touch" LOL! I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures. I also can't wait to work with you again.....Angel
