Emerging family clown ...

OK, so my life pretty much revolves around my family, friends and my photography - I guess "we hold these truths to be self-evident." I am also extremely grateful for these, as well as my great job - especially in this economy. So in light of the family segment, here are a couple of recent pics of my grandson, Gideon at just over 10 months old. He's a character already.

Early morning on Highway 17S

This morning I made myself get out of bed at 5.30am and take a trip down Highway 17 South, one of my favorite photo haunts. I met up with a photog buddy along the way, and we headed for Gardens Corner.When we were almost there, she realized that she had removed all the memory cards from her camera bag a week or so ago and so had no way of taking any pictures. Bummer. Her camera uses different cards to mine, so I couldn't help.Anyway, here are a couple of mine. She'll remember next time ...

Southern tip of Kiawah Island

I don't know what possessed me to finish off my weekend by walking down Beachwalker County Park in 100 degree heat, carrying my camera equipment, but I guess there's always the possibility of nailing that ultimate shot. Alas, that was not to be, but I lost a few pounds of water weight and got some much needed exercise. There weren't even many birds around - it was too hot even for them I guess.

Can't beat Folly Beach

If you're looking for somewhere to take family portraits, it's hard to beat Folly Beach, particularly the Morris Island end of Folly Beach. There is so much material to use for backdrops and such diversity in the settings. Here are a couple of images from last night's shoot of Paul and Nicole's family.

Summertime Fun

This evening was perfect for a pool party so we had one. The kids had a great time of course and the adults were content just to immerse themselves in the water. We took some hilarious video, but it will have to wait because I need to edit it. In the meantime here are a couple of images .

Engagement portraits


Last night I met Lindsey and Robbie downtown. They wanted engagement portraits in historic Charleston settings and we found some wonderful backdrops. This was one of them.

Family Portraits

About a year ago, I donated a portrait session to the James Island Christian School for their annual fundraiser. Friends Bruce and Linda bid on it and won. Today we gathered the clan and took the photos at their home. It was challenging for the adults to manage the kids and look smiling and relaxed for the photos, but that's all part of the fun. This was one that worked ....
and this was one of my favorites of Bruce and Linda.
