Welcome to my blog So this is a place I 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. 



 
Brenda really wanted some photos, before Shane left for Afghanistan.  He is in the Army and Brenda is a part time soldier.  Brenda and Shane have an awesome love story and here is what he said about it:
"
I actually started courting Brenda in July 08 some 8 months before she finally said yes. It's funny now after we had been dating for awhile we looked back on the history of my text messages and I had pretty much asked her out every 48 hours for 8 months before I wore her down. The funny part of that is that I had always lived by the three times rule to that point. But I didn't give up."  
Persistence paid off.  I have a soft spot in my heart for stories like this, because ours is one very similar.  My husband worked very hard to win my affection...I was a little jaded...and well...the rest is history. 

Brenda and Shane are the couple that make you wonder if you are "in love enough".  I mean honestly, from the way that they look at each other, to the way that he touches her and her reactions...it is that sort of chemistry that makes people jealous!
Well Shane has left, and Brenda no doubt, is waiting with bated breath.  These for her are like the tin types from years ago. 
...a little romance goes a long way!

Me encanta como quedaron. Se ven tan enamorados y queda claro que se disfrutaron la sesión de fotos por sus sonrisas (carcajadas). Los quiero mucho y Dios permita que sigan proyectando esa química que se tienen.

Summers and I met at our awesome church, Seacoast.
She is the Watermelon Queen for SC and couldn't be sweeter, or nicer, or cuter.  I just want to
squeeze her!!!  Here are a few from our session.  I can't wait to shoot her engagement session someday...no pressure Tyler, finish school guys ;)  Thanks for a wonderful day Summers.  It isn't everyday you get to see me step in horse poo, and then watch me totally sink in it.  Keeps you grounded ;)
