One Year Later for Mater!

If you're a regular blog reader of mine, you may remember seeing my blog entry this time last year with the puppies I was adopting out.  We had a stray momma hound dog who had 11 pups outside my studio window, so I had my hands full for a couple months until I found homes for all of them.
Well, I just photographed "Mater" one year later!  Mater was one of the first pups I adopted out to Kandace and Micheal from Lexington.  He looks like his momma, the hound dog, from the neck down, and like his Sharpei-mix dad from the neck up.  It was great to see one of the pups all grown up.
Here's a photo of Mater (or one of his similar looking siblings) a year ago, and one of Mater today...
Good Boy, Mater!  And thank you to Kandace and Michael for bringing Mater over for the reunion of sorts!!

Gracie and Charlie

I've been wanting to create this image for a couple years at least, and have talked about it with Gracie's mom several times.  Well, we finally set up a date and time to shoot this image.  It was supposed to be set on a dreary, rainy day.  What we ended up with was a very warm, sunny late October afternoon.  But, with a little strategic shooting and Photoshop magic, I think I got close to what I had envisioned.
Thanks to Gracie, her dog Charlie, and mom and brother for making this shot possible!

Kaili's Senior Portrait Sneak Previews

I spent an afternoon photographing Kaili from Camden High School last week for her senior portraits.  I know Kaili's eager to see the proofs, so here are some previews!

Amber and Mike's Charleston Wedding

November 8th was the big day for Amber and Mike.  They tied the knot underneath a beautiful gazebo in Hampton Park in downtown Charleston while family and friends gathered round.
We made a stop at the Battery for sunset photos before heading to their dinner reception off King Street where a good time was had by all.
Amber and Mike, I'll have your proofs ready in a couple weeks, but meanwhile enjoy these sneak previews!

Jen and John's Wedding in Tamassee, SC

Congratulations to Jen and John who were married on November 1st at John's parents home in Tamassee, SC.  Tamassee is about 30 minutes northwest of Clemson, SC, so it was a beautiful setting for a fall outdoor wedding.  Jen's dog/baby "Karma" walked with mom down the aisle and gave John her blessing.
Here are a few sneak previews, Jen and John!
 
Again, congratulations and best wishes for a long, happy, healthy life together!

Rebecca and David's Wedding

October 18th was the big day for Rebecca and David.  We started our photos at Folly Beach where the couple and Bec's family got ready.  Then it was off to downtown Charleston for a beautiful ceremony and reception at The William Aiken House on King Street.  This is one incredible location for weddings!
Here are some of my favorite images of the couple...
