We Stand for Kids


We Stand for Kids is an organization that provides mentoring services for children of incarcerated parents.

This past week I had the opportunity to work with Rev. Michael Bond and others to promote a community awareness event for We Stand for Kids. The event was a big success! What stood out most for me was hearing a few of the children share their experiences... Here's the slideshow I helped put together for the event:

Amy & Joseph






Amy & Joseph were married in Gatlinburg, TN and had their reception back in SC at Southern Wesleyan University. On the day of the reception, we had a mix of snow and rain...but that didn't stop us from getting some great photos together.

Leslie & Mike



I still can't believe some of the images that were taken during Leslie & Mike's engagement shoot at Falls Park. These are probably some of my best engagement images to date. Leslie & Mike came all the way from Michigan for the shoot... Just kidding. They're from Michigan :)

Princess Bella


It's Princess Bella...in and around Chris Taylor Memorial Park in Anderson, SC. We didn't exactly finish the photo shoot because Bella stubbed her toe. But everything was okay with a kiss from her Dad and a magical band-aid.

George C. Biggar, Jr.


This is a memorial tribute to my grandfather. I thought today would be a good day to post this. It's Father's Day, and it would have been my Gdad's 79th birthday this past Friday. That's my Grandmother on the right.

Midori & Ryan


Midori & Ryan's engagement shoot was a bit of blur, as we raced against the clock to keep shooting while it was still light out.
The occasion calls for Matthew West's new song..."The Light of Eternity." I love this song!
