Introducing my new logo!!!
Thanks to the wonderful Calligrapher, Elizabeth Porcher Jones!!!!  I met Elizabeth for the first time through our wonderful family friend Elmira Weston when Elizabeth was "creating" her daughter, Keenan's wedding invitations and envelopes.  I say creating because you can't call her work calligraphy, it does it no justice!  Elizabeth creates a true form of writing as an art, in my eyes.

After seeing the work she did on Keenan's invitations/envelopes, my mother and I just had to have the same...so we copied the Weston's...and hired her too to do our wedding invitations and envelopes!  She also did the napkins, sketch of our church on our church wedding program, and return card and envelope (not pictured).  She has a true talent!!!!  See some of her work below.  I am also happy to announce that she has asked me to take some pictures of her work for her website that will be coming soon!

I also must include that the invitations were a high priority for me while planning our wedding.  Since I majored in Printing at Clemson University, and worked in the field for over 5 years, I had great expectations!  The invitation was engraved (Southern Engraving) on very thick stock and the ink was a special ink match to our blue.  Since we were having our wedding in Atlantic Beach, NC, I wanted it to be classic and not too formal, hence the beautiful script and the simple all caps handwriting of Elizabeth!

So with that...thank you Elizabeth!!!  I just love the classic simple look of it, and of course I love the "King" too!  :)

Thomas Family

This was the third photo shoot I have done for the Thomas's!  Ruthann and I know each other from Clemson and they now live in Chapel Hill, NC.  They were vacationing on the Isle of Palms in a magnificent house!  So it worked out perfect, I hopped right on over there to take some shots of the family and the boys, (Jackson 1 yr. and Walker 9 mo.)  They are so easy to take pics of, very laid back and "go with the flow" type of people.  I hope that this session will be the first of many i take of them when they are in town!

The Howard Family

When I was on vacation in Atlantic Beach, NC with my family, I did this shoot of the Howard's.  I met Sandy and Hallock through my sister and her husband, Bennette and Andy.  They are also in the restaurant business, and own and run Amos Mosquitos.  Sandy and Hallock have two little precious girls, Liza (3 1/2) and Izzi, (1yr).  Thank you to Bennette for assisting me in this shoot, as the little girls just love her and she did a great job of getting the girls attention behind my back!  Thank you Sandy and Hallock for asking me to take your family pictures...I wish i could put them all on the blog, they are too cute!
