Wedding: Steve & Laurie

What better wedding to post on the 4th of July than a military wedding? Laurie & Steve had a beautiful outdoor wedding at the Kilgore-Lewis House in Greenville, SC and Steve sported his Navy dress blues for the big day.

I think the host at the Kilgore-Lewis House likes a man in uniform! ;-)

Awaiting his bride...Laurie & Steve chose to see each other before their ceremony.

Newborn Portrait: Jayden

I had the priviledge of photographing little Jayden's newborn portrait session. I first met his parents when I took their engagement photos and then they contacted me as soon as they found out they were expecting Jayden to let me know that they wanted me to take his first photos. It's fun to be able to see the journey that couples take from the anticipation of getting married to the excitement of becoming parents. Jayden is a blessed little boy.

I think this might have been Jayden's overall perception of his first portrait session...he just wanted to be left alone. ;-)

Best friends...this was the first stuffed animal that Jayden's parents bought for him when they first found out they were expecting him.

I loved Jayden's nursery with the jungle theme and all the monkeys...too cute!

Engagement: Ashley & Nolan

I met Ashley & Nolan in downtown Greenville for their engagement portrait session. The morning didn't start out quite as planned after Nolan found that his truck had been broken into that morning...not exactly the best way to start out your morning, especially on the day of your engagement session! I felt so bad! They were able to brush off the nerves though and go ahead with the session. It turned out to be a beautiful day and I think we got some great shots!

Engagement: Kerri & Tyler

I met Kerri & Tyler down at Falls Park for their engagement session. Kerri didn't think we could pull any smiles out of Tyler. It took a little work, but if you look really hard I think you can see some smiles! ;-)
