Derek + Alissa Engagement Session in Pontotoc, Mississippi

in ,

Expansive green fields. Old rustic shops. Roads with little more than dirt, trees, and deep blue skies...and my little brother and the love of his life.  We started the day off with lots of laughs and lots of coaxing. I never thought that I would shoot my greatest engagement shoot, but I must say that it happened.  I captured everything I wanted to capture in the full comfort of my craft (complete with family in tow).

To see the love in their eyes..the love in his eyes..the love she has for him and the love he has for her.  That's obvious to everyone.  But what people don't quite know is that these two met 10 years ago in middle school. I'm not quite sure if they knew it then that they were meant to be.  But, they are indeed the lucky ones.  They are the ones the see love for what it is and move forward with it. They take a leap and don't wait for life or social constructs to decide what is right. As Cartman from "Southpark" says "[They] do what they want." They love how they want.

Please enjoy a few of these pictures as much as enjoyed taking them.

Photo Session at the Ann Close Dairy Farm in Fort Mill, SC

I'm not going to lie. I struggle waking up on Saturdays.  Though my military roots aren't too fast to fade, I enjoy my Saturdays because they are much more relaxed.  My shoots seem to go extremely smoothly on these days as well because I generally schedule no more than two on these days.

I was blessed.

Can I get an AMEN!

I am blessed! I get the best clients! The Vollen Family was amazing.  They welcomed me and I welcomed them and we sincerely brought my art and profession under the beautiful sun flares and autumn leaves. 


Intimate Wedding in the Mountains

in , , , , ,

Imagine this:  Imaging taking off, just you and your fiance, to a destination and simply signing a piece of paper. Then imagine donning your "wedding's best" hiking almost a 1/2 mile to the top of a mountain, then taking some of the most loving pictures simply to mark the day.  That's exactly what Tiffany and Jacob did.  There was no huge procession.  Tiffany's mother made the bouquet.  Jacob picked out her shoes.  And they simply stared at the setting sun and said, " I do."
