I have been soooo excited to share these with you. I just sent this set out to a recent client that LOVED them. I almost didn’t want to part with them and they weren’t even images of my children! Each album set is custom designed for you. The album is 3″ x 3″ and actually has a magnet inside to keep the front and back secure when it’s closed. They also come in these adorable little clear cases that protect it when you carry them in your purse, etc. I also love the idea of using them as fridge magnets. I’m sure there are plenty of other great ideas but I’m sure Grandmothers won’t need one as long as they can reach into their purse and pull out this little gem! We are going to use them for all different types of sessions/events such as, newborn, families, seniors, weddings, engagements, bridal portraits, child sessions, pet sessions, maternity and boudoir portraits. I can’t wait to start handing these little babies out to all of our clients.

If I could use one word to describe Janet’s Bridal Portrait Session, it would be “too.much.freakin.fun!” Oh, wait that’s more than one word. Well, I couldn’t possibly just pick one. Janet is such a genuinely wonderful person and it shows in her portraits. My goal was to capture her unique personality, her fabulous sense of humor and her inner diva. She could not have picked a more suitable veil and hairpiece to match her personality and her dress. This chick is vintage all the way! Janet chose the beautiful Huntington Beach State Park as the location for her portraits. I absolutely love the fact that there are so many portrait opportunities at the park. Between Atalaya Castle and the beach, we were able to capture a wide variety of images. The day turned out to be perfect. The weather was gorgeous as was the bride. I can’t wait to post images from the wedding!

Part of the fun of Bridal Portrait sessions is picking the location. Ashley wanted an outdoorsy look to her portraits but still wanted the classic feel. After some thought, I suggested Prestwood Country Club in Hartsville. The venue has a beautiful clubhouse but also has extensive grounds with plenty of beautiful spots for portraits. With the clubhouse being right on Prestwood Lake, we couldn’t go wrong with this location. We had a fabulous time and Ashley even brought her fiance’s putter, fishing pole and rifle to do a few fun shots. I have to say that Ashley was gorgeous and made my job so easy. Thank you Ashley for letting me get creative. I had such a great time!

Now that Somer and Frankie have said their “I do’s” this past weekend, I can finally share some of Somer’s Bridal Portraits. I can’t wait to post some from their wedding. It was fantastic! When Somer and I were first talking about where she wanted to take her Bridal Portraits, the word we were throwing around alot was “Grand.” She wanted a dramatic but classy venue that would fit the style of her wedding. The Country Club of South Carolina was the perfect choice. When Somer walked into the club house, my mouth dropped. Her dress was gorgeous and she was even more beautiful. Somer admitted that her dress was not exactly what she was looking for when she first set out on the hunt for the perfect wedding dress. She wanted something very simple and white. What she walked in with was a gorgeous ivory lace gown. I almost didn’t want to touch it because the detail in the dress was so delicate. She was the opitomy of the glowing bride. I still get excited when I look through the images we took that day. When you combine a stunning bride with a gorgeous location, you really can’t go wrong. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

This is the image that Somer chose for her wall portrait to be displayed at the reception. Classic and classy.

This image was my favorite. It makes you want to know what the bride is feeling and thinking and it also shows the detail of Somer's very beautiful veil that was worn by her mother on her wedding day.
